Palace Game

[Bruce Rioja]

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

Well, to be fair .... 3 and Afobe

Oh, here we go..............

[newboy]

Maybe DF still has a soft spot for them and doesn't want to upset them by winning

[Mar]

Craig Davies coming on? Odd time for someone to come on for their debut with sod all time to make an impact. David N'Gog on aswell. Lets hope they can snatch a goal.

[IggyTheDawgster]

Too little too late I'm afraid.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Sordell scores three times in two starts against a Prem team and can't get a minute today??

Do you always whine so much? I suppose you'll be bemoaning the fact mars bars are smaller than they used to next

aye - maybe we can snatch a draw...

[Jugs]

Is Freedman playing mind-games with Sordell?

[bobo the clown]

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????

edit - he doesn't even give him that... it's Cravis and Ngog

... & he'll wonder why fans don't "get it"

[TANGODANCER]

Palace still trying but Chungy picks it up. Williams shoots over..

[Turkish Trotter]

Vela on? Like for like substitution there. Are we going for the 0-0? Finally get back to back clean sheets?

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.

So he throws a striker on, we get beaten and the manager gets slated for being Gungho (a la Coyle).
We're not safe from relegation yet, I would have snatched a draw before game !!

Could be fitness. Who knows.

[Gravedigger]

I'm beginning to get the feeling that Dougie does not select the team, he just rubber stamps it. There has to be an agenda elsewhere in the company for such abject negligence to any business. First HWMNBN, then Coyle now DF.

I'm not under any obligation to do anything else! If you're happy with this season and these decisions then good for you. And you're seriously not baffled by the exclusion of Sordell?

so - the striker-heavy bench was a tactic in case we went behind and had to snatch a draw?

Happy we'll get enough points to be safe, think they might as well have a crack.

[Far East Trotter]

A positive change too late I'm afraid

If it's fitness then he shouldn't even be on the bench. feck only knows what signal this sends to Sordell. Utterly atrocious man-management as far as I can tell.

[thebish]

despite our attacking subs - it's Palace finishing the stronger...

Indeed.

Unless you throw a poacher like Klasnic on I agree. Ridiculous for a new partnership.
