Sadly i think roy is like a gambler chasing his money on a roulette wheel.
Keep backing the same number as its bound to come in eventually.
Take a chance and pick a different number.
The analagy being that he believes that if he keeps playing one way with the same players eventually we will score or more sadly not concede.
Well clearly not!
He knows tactics im sure but not concedeing seems his priority.

...than the Amex. Just back from the game which was, I have to say, truly bloody awful. We were utterly poor from A-Z tonight, something which is being well covered on other threads.

But I just wanted to point out that for a side which spent a huge portion of the game 2/3-0 up against its biggest rivals, the lack of atmosphere at the Amex tonight was truly astonishing. The occasional half-hearted chorus of 'Albion, Albion', and genuinely nothing else for 90 mins.

We may have been dreadful on pitch tonight, but the half-baked atmosphere at that plastic cauldron in tandem with the fact that only about 5 of them turned up for our FA Cup game in January hasn't half made me glad to support a club nothing like theirs.

COYP.

I was wondering if it was just the audio on my stream. Pathetic fans, if they're weren't making noise tonight then I guess I see why they need the plastic clappers.

I'm trying to take the emotion out of it, but it's not easy.

Yes, we were certainly on the wrong end of yet another poor refereeing decision.

But we then conceded two goals to ten men - shocking set piece marking and then only Tompkins knows how he managed to screw up so badly when all he needed to do was clear the ball.

Brighton like nothing more than defending a lead and even being a player short didn't seriously disrupt their tactics.

We all know that Palace have problems breaking down deep laying opposition and tonight was another example.

As a group the players owe us one because that performance was totally unacceptable no matter who the opposition were.

He was so, so poor today in the final third.

The whole team was poor but he basically destroyed every attack he was a part of. PVA and AWB are so important to the way we play but they were both highly ineffective today offensively.

PVA tried so many short passes, flicks and one twos and every single one went nowhere except the cross he put on Townsend’s head in our first attack.

He seriously needs to up his game offensively as he is involved in every attack and was playing the Schlupp role today, before the man himself came on and started to destroy attacks all on his own.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Something along the lines of “how the hell did they pay 10 mil for this waste of space”.

At least Wilbraham used to get into the position to miss.

The fact that Wilbradonkey is better than this guy is a damning indictment.

He is nowhere near good enough and needs to go out on loan to have any chance of making the grade.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
