I think that game is 1-1. If Tuanzebe is fit and George Hirst is fit I think it's a 1-0 or a maybe 2-1. We're really suffering from fitness at the moment and we're seeing the level we're playing at. Palace aren't spectacular by any stretch but they were too strong for us, physically they're streets ahead of us and they have a couple of good attacking players. Sadly we players who aren't quite PL quality playing a fair amount of minutes at the moment and it showed tonight. Some respect hopefully will be given to AAH after tonight, he made a difference and maybe he should have come on earlier, I don't think I've ever seen a striker flogged as much as Delap was, although I get why. Greaves was a poor pick, and I would have said that before the game. Really disappointed for Burgess to be honest. Think we should have made changes before they scored. We never really looked like scoring and they were always going to get a chance or two, so I think we should have tried to change the sway of the game before those chances came. 'Just not quite good enough' would be my overriding review of that. Not as bad as some will make out, and we will improve over the season, but with our squad in the state it's in, December does look tricky. |  |
