Completely agree with G O Eagle. That was such a depressing, dismal performance. No attempt to attack.
And those other stats they put up on screen covering the whole year: 20th out of 20 on passes completed; 20th out of 20 on possession; equal botttom goals scored. The rest of the country must groan when they see it's us on telly.
We have some potentially exciting players who can take the game to the opposition - Wilf, Eze, Bats, Townsend, Schlupp... but they're all being told to defend. It's totally dispiriting. Joyless.

This is one of the sad byproducts of Roy's management - undoubtedly talented players are not nurtured and have their confidence and progress crushed. As much as I begrudge Freedman, he's made some decent signings that could have evolved the team, but they will never be developed as individuals at Palace. Must be so disappointing for Freedman to see that happen time and again.

..glass half full??.. at the moment my glass is empty.. So are you saying you were happy with our performance against Brighton?.. I for one wasn't.. If Roy was expansive now and used our attacking players in an attacking role we would probably get more points on the board now rather than maybe later.. We were totally negative because of Roy's tactics which he called The Siege Mentality.. awful performance and very lucky to get a point.. in the last two games, Chelsea and Brighton, we've not had a single shot on target apart from yesterdays penalty, which was our ONLY shot yesterday.. 180 mins of football without a shot on target.. total, unforgiveable, dross.. we were lucky to be playing a Brighton side who couldn't hit a barn door and not to be playing Liverpool or Man City or any other team who know how to finish otherwise we would've been lucky to keep the score in single figures.. why wasn't Eze playing? .. too creative for Roy I guess, he might have actually caused problems for Brighton by attacking them with skill and making openings for our two forwards who were starved of any decent creative passes and who may have an an attempt on goal if they had received the ball occasionally in the first place..

Palace Banana, yes i was unhappy with yesterdays performance, brighton have played better football this season than us, but they have less points, Chelsea game, Batman could not play, so we had last years problem up front, Bennie is never going to deliver, as for the game we lost (chelsea) to some extent to awful defending, i have been supporting Palace since 1958, at best we will be a mid table club, with hopefully a good cup run again, I think Roy will go this year, whoever takes over though will have the same restraints, but all in all i am quite a happy bunny

Football is meant to Be a fun game,and entertaining,our team has forgotten how to do that,with the way we are set up every game,it is scary cat football ,have some balls Roy and let the players of the leash,we will be lucky to survive if we keep turning out this rubbish,and it is not fair on the supporting public to be so negative every game,try entertaining you might be surprised!!!
