Zaha causing bother again as Ream gives away a corner. Eagles cross cleared but Zaha gets in the box and Ream clears again. Palace really sound to be coming now and Ream does well again. Zaha, offside...thankfully. Come on Whites ....

Because apart from Mears fecking it up, our pass completion has otherwise been dead on, hasn't it?! By the blithering crin! :doh:
So you're suggesting that because everyone else has been making poor passes, we should keep Mears in the team? Because he fits in? Instead of trying someone else; say, Riley or Ricketts? Why not remove one of our problems? Or at least try to?!
No, I'm asking you how come you feel the necessity to single out Mears for his wayward passing when he's no worse than anyone else? The floor's yours! Oh, and by the way, Riley's an injury waiting to happen and Ricketts offers more on the left or at LCB - possibly by dint of him being primarily left-footed!

I feel really sorry for the 4 strikers on the bench. It's time to retire Kevin Davies, He is hurting our season beyond measure.

What is the point of having FOUR strikers on the bench if he's going to stick with the one he started with :conf:

I'd rather just go for the win, we've tried going for clean sheets and failed miserably (I witnessed Peterborough away!). Might as well lose as draw, since we have almost no chance of the play-offs. Then again we're not far off the drop zone, but I'd rather try to be positive, especially with a benchful of strikers.

12 points adrift so 16th will be the target and get definite promotion next season..or the one after. 8)
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Because I was talking about Mears so I was offering comments on his inabilities.

I've always thought Ricketts was a pretty accomplished right-back, to be honest.

We don't have any fit defenders for the bench apart from Ricketts do we? Guessing that is why we have 4 strikers on the bench.

sordell scores 2 away to a premiership team - and here we are needing a goal away to a championship team... so - he gives him 5mins????

Now's the time....come on...Alonso robs Zaha and the commentator says only N'gog looks to be warming up. Five to go...Alonso robs Zaha again as N'gog and Craig Davies replace KD and Pratley.
