Damn, watched the Palace – Millwall highlights. That Zaha lad really is a quite good.

20 million pounds good unfortunately. Shame we couldnt prise him off them last season with our joke offer! If Freedman comes here Zaha will be off to one of the big London clubs in the window.Missed our chance unfortunately i think.
Perhaps we could get him on loan though if the club that signs him dont need him immediately.
Not short of wingers are we?

Think we tried that in Jan. We offered 3m they wanted 6m, iirc.

Bunch of T

[TANGODANCER]

Once again the goals were conceded down the left and through the centre.

Doubt anybody could have done much about the first. One of those that either go in the net or into row z. It was just another cross into the box till the guy tried the overhead and it worked. Has to be a great goal. If Ream hadn't tried to put a foot in to the ball, he'd probably have got slated for not trying. That's football.

[TKIZ!]

Still in shock. Left the ground feeling dazed and confused. Fans around me booing when we kept the ball and passed it about from the back, hatred of Eagles and love for Petrov astounded me. Substitutions that made sense, I'm bewildered by it all really.

Spearing, Warnock, SKD and Eagles were freaking AWESOME yesterday.

[Dr.Karl]

All three goals were great. How many Eagles free kicks is that?

Coming out after the break, we had switched to a 4-2-3-1; inspired, as it turned out. We were all over them. Great football, we didn't look weak in the midfield as we normally would have done (and in fact, we didn't even look weak in the midfield first half), and Bristol just couldn't handle us. Within about 5 minutes, you just knew we were gonna win it.

How did we line up when we switched system? I'm just glad a manager realises that switching to one up top isn't necessarily negative when you start with two strikers.

I'm with you on that one. Plenty around me (NSL) moan and groan whenever we keep the ball and pass it around, instead of launching it up the pitch, cos we're not getting it up fast enough, but then whinge when we launch it up the pitch cos it doesn't work. One bloke on the front row is particularly guilty of that. Every single match.

Afobe went to the right flank, Eagles as the attacking midfielder, Sparky and Spearing as the holders. As I say, worked very well, and the only weak link was Afobe; who, apart from absolutely blitzing past their full back in one lightning run, did feck all. Chungy looked useful and lively when he came on; the sooner he's a bona fide first teamer again, the better.

Cheers for that. Now we just need the right players in their right positions!
