Crystal Palace vs. Wolverhampton match thread

Watching on the telly it looked at game end that Deano was getting into it with someone behind his net. Looked like he was saying something along the lines of 'come down here and say that'. Not sure if that was it.

Yep Deano was pissed off with some supporters. Booing, banners, lack of chanting who knows ?
 
A win is a win, but my god it was difficult. Im sick of seeing us get the ball wide and turn back and play along the back 3. We were lucky today and I thought Wolves were good for a point. The game changed a bit when Guessand came on.
1 more win and 1 more draw should see us through, surely.
Im off to lay down and I still want Glasner gone tomorrow morning.
 
Regardless of how dissatisfied we are with OG I am really disappointed that Munoz seems to have either lost pace and/or confidence and Mitch just refuses to cross the ball (the one time he did we scored). If they are not going to perform the ‘wing’ part of wing back then we should just play a back 4 and play Johnson and Guessand as our wingers with Sarr and JSL up front. When OG came in he said our 343 was to suit the players available. I would argue therefore he should switch to 442 or step aside and let someone who cares have a go.
 
Just home from game and that has to go down as our most undeserved 3 points of all time.
We will take it and be happy that the ref who was dreadful was for once doing us a favour.

The Wolves player that got sent off wasn’t even aware that the ball had gone out for the throw before he booted it upfield, so to get a second yellow for that was a ridiculous decision.
Yes it went in our favour but the level of refereeing these days is awful.

With regard to the game, we lacked energy, enthusiasm and leadership or a plan. The crowd did their best to get behind the team and only started to turn with about 10min to go, and that was aimed at OG with various “humble” songs.

At the final whistle OG did head towards the tunnel and to me looked like he was clapping in a way that was saying goodbye. (We can only hope) and again was serenaded with boos and disgruntled chants.

We all need to be put out of our misery including OG and see him depart to allow us to reset and try to save the rest of the season.

I think the players decided to stop the long throws. OG was screaming to throw it long in 2 nd half and they basically told him to pipe down 😁

Good. Long throws can be tactical advantage - they can also become tedious, predictable and easy to defend if used too often.
 
I felt sympathy for Richards today who was criticised by some around me today, not for his performance but for his long throws.
It's not Richards at fault, but the manager for instructing this tactic.
It's fine when you have Lacroix, JPM, Guehi and Lerma to compete for flick ons and second balls, but not in their absence.
It seems bizarre to play the same way regardless of available personnel.

Post match press conference offered no more comfort for an enjoyable end to the season.

Everything feels awkward and difficult these days!

Glasner said in his interview he met with the board and said if you think someone else is better I will stand aside. SP said we want you to continue. End of.
