Match Thread Crystal Palace (a)

[PFKAKTF FOX]

FFS people ask for change and criticise Pearson for not being brave but when he does they then moan, IMO he has been bold and it is exciting changes and definitely the freshening up the team needed now let's back them!!!!

Well said!

And Konchesky.

He looked like he picked up a knock to me in the 1st half against Pompey, got some treatment from the physio when Sol was down as well. Was expecting a question about it post-match but I guess IS had other things on his mind.

 

[fitz]

Bold and imaginative is how I view it. Players like Peltier and Konchesky who have been putting in a great deal of effort need a good rest.

I hope that is the reason for them being dropped.

 

[Longcliffe]

I can't understand why Pearson does not seem able to organise this team. This team selection smacks of desperation. Pearson can't surely be changing the formation again.
He does not seem to know what his best team or formation is. I really hope we string some wins together, but I fear for today.
1-1.

Care to elaborate homeywomey? What would you have done?

 

[Han]

Squad to play Crystal Palace: Schmeichel, Mills, Bamba, Tunchev, Kennedy, Moore, Abe, King, Danns, Nugent, Schlupp.

Subs: Gallagher, Howard, Dyer, Beckford, Weale

Looks to me like

Kasper
Moore Mills Tunch Kennedy
Bamba Abe
Danns King Schlupp
Nugent

I think Peltier and Konchesky will be left scratching their heads. Relieved to see Wellens finally dropped. Looks like a very cautious line up though

So, if he turns out the kit man as goalkeeper and the tea lady at centre forward, we should cheer a brave move?

Could just be a rest?

Craig Shakespeare has confirmed that injuries contributed to today's team selection.

Stop talking out of your arse. Kennedy and Moore have performed very well on loan in the first half of the season. Pelts and Konchesky have been competent but how many goals have we conceded with an unchallenged cross from a flank. I can think of three in the past month

I'd put the tea lady in central or left midfield, could be a step forward.

Stream?

 

[martin peters]

Blimey, can't say I've heard of Moore where's he been on loan and Kennedy is back from where? Well lets get behind them Come on City

 

[lanxfox jnr]

Baffling selection to say the least! How he's put Tom Kennedy and Liam Moore into the squad is amazing! Let's see how this goes

 

[Cate Fox]

Stream?

I've checked a couple and nothing there

 

[lanxfox jnr]

Liam Moore's been playing for Bradford City on loan. TK back from Rochdale?

Kennedy's been at Peterborough this season and has played more or less every match IIRC, they've certainly had a decent season by their standards so far, so he must be up to playing in this league - nice to see him getting a chance in the side.

Moore's been on loan at Bradford since September (I think, not sure...) and I'm not sure how he got on.
