Crystal Palace vs. Zirinjski Mostar match thread

[Forest Hillbilly]

At the ground and shocked at so many empty seats.

Palace used to get good crowds at Selhurst for mid-week games against Crewe, so a bit disappointing

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Obviously no sustained demand for increased capacity at Selhurst

Club should have done some sort of promotion for this . £45 a seat is a bit steep . The European dream has certainly turned a bit sour in recent weeks

The trouble is, it's difficult doing offers when a lot of fans already have tickets at full price. They tend to get upset and causes hassle for the Box Office

I refused to pay that price for an absolute slog fest. 4 hours travel on a Thursday night and eat out and get in past midnight, when the club and the manager ain't getting my juices flowing. Sitting in doors slippers on, pipe and smoking jacket on instead.

I like Strand Larsen

Fought to get the ball, had a speculative strike, bit unlucky with the header from Wharton

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Palace getting the tackles in 🙂

This ref has been paid off shocking how biased he has been so far.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

well, it looks like an improvement on last week

Ref got me worried canvot done nothing next to keeper ref calls foul

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

i don't think we are making enough cross field passes.

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

I thought the game would be very much a grind. Hoping it opens up later on. Although both sides seem settled for penalties atm.

Palace moving ball a bit quicker tonight, and mixing up passing angles with a few more direct balls here and there. If we can keep them operating at a faster pace than they are used to, gaps should open.

we're knocking on the door

I reckon there are 10,000 teams in the world who can play a decent low block

Sometimes a bit of Coppell pragmatism of getting enough balls in the box and playing the percentages would pay dividends. Unless you are have Messi in the side.

Yes, absolute joke decision. All the ref needs to do is ignore him and he'll not do it again. Now he's pandered to him I expect to see it happen again.

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Palace going about the game the right way. Slowly and surely putting the pressure on, after the opening half hour of sussing the opposition

 

[Nutmegyeti]

You’ve got to respect Glasner’s adherence to a system. No matter the opposition.

if Glasner was in charge of the apocalypse - the Four Horsemen wouldn’t get a look in, not without a3 behind and 2 & 1 in front of them anyway

certainly they want 0-0 and penalties. Not sure what da feck Glasner is chasing after.....
