54 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Well it was ugly, and we where poor for the most part, but a point is better the zero, and stops the Bruce rot. So thats something, still a hell of a job for whoever comes in to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 A good result. These players are totally devoid of confidence because of Bruce and it will take time. I thought that the shape and discipline was a bit better and certainly an improvement. ASM looked like he was pining for Steve Bruce and wasn't enjoying working to a plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That selection was fucking abysmal. My biggest fear that there is going to be at least a six point gap to 16th/17th position until January. Need to get a manager in this week, fuck Jones also, get the lot of them out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
convictCockleMuncher Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Fantastic point. But it's papering over the cracks, that we were completely dominated. Possession, movement, control would normally result in a win. We were out classed but showed a little bit of fight, Something for the next bloke to build on.

Stottie Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Decent and arguably good point, which stops the rot, and it was rot, after last week. We battled to the end and could've sneaked it. We didn't give up any massive chances to suggest Palace deserved the game on anything more than simple possession. Our goal came from the individual brilliance of Callum Wilson, but let's not kid ourselves. That's how the best teams win a lot of their games. We made sensible substitutions at a sensible time, for the first time in two seasons. A winnable fixture has gone to waste I suppose, but we need genuine positives at a moment and there were some of them there. Not the false positives Bruce would talk about to take the heat off himself after yet another defeat. Jones has inherited a dispirited and unfit squad, so it will take time to turn things around.

Memphis Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That was pretty dire but it was understandably and logically dire, rather than just hapless and hopeless, so that’s an improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

convictCockleMuncher Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 There is no game in the foreseeable future that we are going to win. It is going to be a scrap every week to get some points, until January. First priority is a holding midfielder, just to allow some service forward.

Yeah, he needs to be played far further forward, and probably would have made more sense to bring him off the bench where he could have offered more goal threat once the game opened up a bit.
