I wish more "supporters" could do just that. I felt we played well at Cardiff until Jose's red card was our undoing and ditto last night until Bailey's costly error. <BR/><BR/>To say that confidence is fragile is an understatement & booing poor passes etc is mere ignorance. <BR/><BR/>We CAN & WILL improve.

But put up a good fightback, with the stats that Wyn referred to - and by quoting Gary Johnson who said we could have been 10-2 up after 27 mins (OK easy to say after a finally comfortable win). <BR/><BR/>However, agree with you Kings Hill. Whilst it's totally disappointing to go to Cardiff and the match last night and see us boss the game for the first "30 mins" only to lose, there were some positive signs. Good to see Moo2 for example and he needs a run in the side. The Pompey boys too did a pretty good makeshift job as our central pairing and Matty Holland was, well Matty Holland. <BR/><BR/>The big issue - as in the financial markets - seems to be one of confidence. As soon as Bailey gave them the goal, heads dropped (and City are a strong second half team so it was uphill from there). Bailey then tried too hard to atone for that error and in time the team lost shape. Yet, if we'd taken our chances, we'd have the same points as City. As it is, they are 4th and we're 20th. It's a fineline in this league.<BR/><BR/>The second issue, as you rightly point out, is our ability to convert our chances. Look at the Sheff Wed match which Terry T cites - 20 shots to 6 and we lose 2-1. We play pretty football at times but we don't have a Mendonca or Hunt or Hales to put the ball in the net.<BR/><BR/>Finally, despite it all, what's the booing all about? My daughters were shocked last night by it. Booing Youga incessantly after a mistake, how does that help? OK, let's moan in the pub afterwards, but c'mon! Let's have some positive thinking. If Palace can get promoted from this position, we can surely get better - stay up even!bristol addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12834953200732814922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-4349104960629690852008-10-22T20:02:00.000+01:002008-10-22T20:02:00.000+01:00http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/default....http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/default.asp?article_id=50135<BR/><BR/>Come on KH, you got nothing else to do, get around there and look in the window ;-)ChicagoAddickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350734560005129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-85087449153952989352008-10-22T18:08:00.000+01:002008-10-22T18:08:00.000+01:00What you say about our good first thirty minutes i...What you say about our good first thirty minutes is correct, however it is a recurring theme, ie Cardiff, Sheff Weds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
