This post has been merged from a topic called 'Burnley match thread ' by bexleydave We were just too good for them! And most other teams now. Agree totally. What we need now is to be able to adapt our game to perform at home like we do away. I think I am right in saying that only 15 of our 33 points have come at home so that is hardly fortress Selhurst. Apart from that we have very little to worry about, we are on the up.

Every fan at every away game we win will be thinking ...I wish we could be better at home.

We are so very close at almost every home game to be almost great.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Sat in the Home Stand at Burnley.' by bexleydave I live in the north west, 300 miles from Selhurst Park, so rarely get to see Palace live. A friend of mine is a Burnley season ticket holder, and promised to get me a ticket for this match 6 months ago. I took him and two other Burnley supporters to the game, went in to a "home supporters only" pub before, then into the "home supporters only" stand. As at selhurst, any away fans in the home end get ejected if they cause an issue, so I was not wearing colours (although could have got away with my claret and blue scarf from 1963) and kept quiet for most of the game. When I watched Wilf score his wonderful goal to put the match beyond doubt however it was too much, and I stood up, punched the air and shouted "yes" very loudly. I was in the corner closest to the away fans, so most of my shout was drowned out. It also wasn't heard because of the dozens of home fans around me walking out, so I did not get ejected. To be fair to my Burnley supporting companions they freely admitted that the better side won on the day, that we had much more quality than them, and that their players were limited in skill, and that their team relied on effort and strength.

It really p****s me off, fans walking out at half-time just because they are losing. Don't think we have that at Selhurst, we know good times and bad.

Another cracking away performance, we might not do the business at home, but away we can counter attack like no one else. My god we take our chances away, our second was as about as clinical as you get. As for Wilf, what can you say he was completely unplayable yesterday... coyp

Surely AWB will be getting a phone call from Southgate very soon ? Also in the back of his mind why Wilf wasn't involved with England around the last World Cup qualifiers and tournament. He'll get better and the pain will only grow.

Not quite right; it's 13 out of 33 - the 2nd worst home record after the cloggers.
