Quote Vaibow at 17 Mar 2014 5.17pm i just think we need some ball players in midfield - swap KG for O'K is a start. Maybe Bolaise for Bannan Do you mean the other way around.?

Murray and Gayle up front would be a very potent combination. And why has TP not yet played Ledley at DM? I thought that's where he would slot in, but he hasn't played there once. He's not very mobile or creative to play behind the striker. He would be a very good partner for Jedi When you’re knocked on your back and your life’s a flop...

Quote Dangermouse at 17 Mar 2014 6.18pm Ah the mythical "We don't have the players to play any other way" line. They are professional footballers of varying levels of ability who can adjust, given time, to whatever system is given to them. Right now they are adjusting to the way TP wants them to play and they are still struggling a little with the ball as they are preoccupied with their positioning. If Martinez had got our job they would of been adjusting to his style while Everton took on TP's and both groups would of become comfortable in the systems eventually. It just takes time to adjust to new instructions and those that just can't or won't will be moved on. Although I hate the style of play, it will not stay totally defensive once the way we play becomes second nature to them. I mean, Stoke were crap to watch, but they did attack people within TP's system and so eventually will we. We have no time for adjustments at this stage of the season. Stay up and then we make adjustments.

Sad to say Pulis won't be going all out attack. It'll be ultra defensive and grab a point here or there and may be a win. I take your point about Chelsea, City and Liverpool it would be nice to think that we'll give them something to think about but it'll more of the same. If it keeps us up then it's a valid tactic just so depressing to watch. Does anyone enjoy our games at the moment? The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

I do for around 10 seconds per game where we suddenly string 4 or 5 quality first time passes together and go forward, before the inevitable happens and we give it away

Tim Gypsy Hill '64 Stoke sub normal 17 Mar 14 11.22pm
Quote Johnny Byrne at 17 Mar 2014 12.48pm I think the time is now here to start taking teams on with our counter attacking style both home and away. Our remaining games are all against high quality sides or teams around us with something to play for. Most of the sides we are facing have one crucial weakness - centre of defence - in every single remaining game. True, the likes of Chelski, Citeh and Scousers (after battering Manure) are great going forward, but they do not defend well. We need pace and TWO goalscorers up front (Muzza and Gayle for me). I would rather we sacrifice a DM for a creative midfielder, and that perhaps Bannan or Guediora steps into the side. Also, we need more old fashioned width and that means, Thomas and Bolasie to start. If we don't start with this sort of line up, then we give ourselves 45 mins to hold out at 0-0 at HT, then change it up, and attack in the 2nd half. No sense in hoping for a scratchy point - we need 3 wins to get to safety in my view. Others have said this, but now is the time for us to start winning, and getting that "shock" result against one of our home Top 4 side fixtures. COYP. Very nice. Unless it comes down to goal difference. Don't think I could take L'pool topping the 9-0 thrashing they gave us.... Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

If we stay up though not much will change because like it or not this is how TP likes to play. Expect Crouch, Walters and Ryan Shotton to come in to improve the big punt up field and the long throw tactics.

Whatever way we play, we should be able to string a few passes within the team together, minimize DD's hoofballs, keep Jedinak away from free kicks, upgrade Bolasie on elementary football tactics, drop KG for someone and let Cameron warm the bench for the whole match. Otherwise I'm completely happy with the total points approaching 30! And Newcastle will be without Remy!!!

we won games when we had to (we were in the bottom 3), now the onus is on not losing and going back in the bottom 3 ; but that is a dangerous game to play The opening poster has a valid point, as are away games are easier aand we look better as a counter attacking team Pulis may have never been relegated, but palace have never stayed up in the premier in that time. So somethings got to give!

Quote jamiemartin721 at 17 Mar 2014 4.25pm I think maybe we need to become a bit more tactical going forwards, if we want to win more games, but thats more a case for maybe swapping KG out for say Bannan or O'Keefe when theres 20m to go, and dropping Jedinek into a pure defensive midfielder role, with Bannan playing a more attacking play maker role, or O'Keefe as a more central midfielder. I think Pulis' is right setting out to contain first fifty or so minutes, to wear the otherside down more, and hit them on the counter. I think maybe he's looking to nick a couple of games between now and the end of the season, and draw the rest. Is there anybody else who can walk,talk and kick a football who could start in place of KG?.
