Dr Venkman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 5 minutes ago, Yorkie said: Despite the narrowness of the win, I feel like you basically saw the best of both sides of this team. First half: played with a swagger on the ball without being super dangerous (don't think this team ever will be); second half: dug in extremely solidly, mainly in the back four. We deserved it regardless of Palace's pressure cos they never actually got that close. Zaha's sighter at the end as near as they got. Cracking win. He should have scored that first chance mind.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Bruno first 60 minutes and Targett & Schar were unreal there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Maybe could have done with replacing Shelvey and/or Joelinton second half after their changes, both struggled to get involved, but got away with it and that's a great three points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 6 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Fair play to Palace, at half time I thought we had an excellent chance to get a pretty comprehensive win. If they'd played like that from the start we'd have been in trouble. Difficult win that we crawled over the line to get, but crawled over the line we did. We didn't control the second half at all, but we also defended really well. Dubravka - 7 Krafth - 8 Schar - 8 Burn - 8 Targett - 8 Shelvey - 7 Bruno - 7.5 Joelinton - 7 ASM - 7 Wood - 7 Almiron - 8 Joelington puts that header away and I think it would have been a 3 or 4 nil win. We defended pretty well, though Zaha should score with the one he put past the post. We need to control the ball better when teams come onto us, which we probably will next year with better players coming in. Certainly can't complain with 9 points against 3 decent teams though in the last couple of weeks. That's a tremendous effort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Still Joelinton for me, he hasn't been as consistent as Targett, but his purple patch was absolutely amazing and his poorer spell has still been largely decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Game of 2 halves, the 1 bit of quality in the final 3rd settled it. Edited April 20, 2022 by neesy111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Think we were confident we could see it out letting them have the ball. Mateta was a pain in the arse but didn’t look threatening. Someone like Zaha will always create one or two things a game no matter what so not worried there. Pretty comfortable overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 You can't knock Woods work rate, I think he brings a lot to the team in terms of pressing, link up play, defending. More than Wilson in that regard but Wilson is light years ahead of him as a goal scorer. Wood just doesn't seem to have composure and rushes his chances. Where as Wilson is clinical.

He may not have scored but in the second half he made a vital header to rob Anderson a free header at goal. So I think he did his part.

He's not got the greatest touch/finish but I can't understand criticism of his work rate, he's all over the pitch leading the press. I meant as in he has no legs, he moves like a dump truck in treacle, he tries his best but he didn't offer anything in that 2nd half and we needed something for a ball over the top.

Twice. Think the other was Forrest or something (that could be way off)? But aye I can specifically remember being taken aback by Sturridge and some other player who's escaped me. Edit: Actually Forrest is where he scored. Surely someone can think of what I mean Edited April 20, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just remembered that a lad on the Gallowgate Shots match preview predicted 1-0 and that we'd score between 30 and 35 minutes 'because that's when Palace tend to concede' I hope he put a bet on.
