Crystal Palace v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Bamford starts for Leeds

[SG90]

Maybe worth putting Struijk in at CB, where he should have been since the season started. Oh yeah I forgot we don't have a left back

I'd put Hjelde at CB, and keep Cooper and Llorente well away from it.

Hjelde deserves more game time. He's been our best player when he's played.

[1964white]

That’s because Cooper can’t do a very simple thing and play a ball up the touch line.

As I say Jay, football is a simple game, our lot make it look difficult

Good job I don't make so many errors when I'm playing bowls, I'd never win anything.

[Jaydog]

I was cursing Paddy when he missed that chance & also he made a poor pass with two players in their own when we caught Palace on the break. Rodrigo made a similar error. Far too much cursing from me with all the simple errors we were making in the second-half. We create our own downfall.

Rodrigo is the epitome of frustration. Utter shite today.

Hjelde deserves more game time. He's been our best player when he's played.

Injured right now.

Isn’t Leo injured? We really need a proper left back. Then Pascal takes over from Cooper for me

[1964white]

You’re right bud, and sadly pointless is the salient factor.

Is it just me or does anyone else scream at the telly in frustration when we try to pass the ball to Paddy on the 6-yard line from the edge of the box when there’s a shot on? Jack did it in the first two minutes today.

I think many of our problems in front of goal stem from not shooting often enough, especially from distance, and trying to walk the ball in against big, physical and canny defenders.

I had a few sweary moments, Davy, sheer frustration.

[Carrick Dave]

Chance to square it first time and Rodrigo does a few step overs

Get him off

This is the one I saw when I watched the game SG.

[1964white]

So it wasn't just me who saw that?

Thing is SG, it was a simple pass to execute.

[SG90]

Injured right now.

Typical Not that he'd get a chance mind you.

[SG90]

This is the one I saw when I watched the game SG.

The Bamford one was at 1-1 just before he came off. Looks like 64 saw it as well.

Academic anyway.

[1964white]

Rodrigo is the epitome of frustration. Utter shite today.

I'd love to wipe that daft smile off his face when he messes up.

[SG90]

Thing is SG, it was a simple pass to execute.

Yep. Bamford cost us the win today. It's not his fault, it's the club for trying to do it on the cheap again. Jesse said we needed a striker and they let him down.

[1964white]

The Bamford one was at 1-1 just before he came off. Looks like 64 saw it as well.

Both Paddy & Rodrigo made similar errors within a few minutes of each other.

You just know the game is lost when our strikers are toothless.

Yes Hjelde is injured, Jay.

[SG90]

Both Paddy & Rodrigo made similar errors within a few minutes of each other.

I don't remember the Rodrigo one, but the Bamford one really pissed me off after his earlier miss

[White Riot]

Hjelde deserves more game time. He's been our best player when he's played.

Typo I meant to say Hjelde at LB

[White Riot]

Isn’t Leo injured? We really need a proper left back. Then Pascal takes over from Cooper for me

Yeah, sounds about right and we're back to the same stuff we've talked about for ages.

Need to get a LB, didn't bother.
Need to get a striker, didn't bother.
Cover for DCM, didn't bother.

Same old craic. This squad has needed a good cull and strengthening for a few seasons, but Radz co are just hoping and praying to finish 17th again.

Job done, lovely jubbly

Jesse was full of needing a striker, LB, etc, on the tour down under. Then met with Radz who told him "No mate" and the craic changed to Junior n Paddy will be back soon, squad's looking good, blah, blah.

Radz "Good lad Jesse, keep it shtum, or you're gonna be the next Scott Parker down the Dole office".

[1964white]

Yeah, sounds about right and we're back to the same stuff we've talked about for ages.

Need to get a LB, didn't bother.

God help us if Adams suffers an injury.

Dacoure's nasty challenge could have broken Tyler's ankle.
