Crystal Palace FC Thread + Premiership Palaver

[pleno1]

not sure how we can call soembody who hasnt started 2 league games in a row and has been injured relentessly ''absolutely terrible'

He has had hardly any game time and almost any player who comes back and plays 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there will be a disapointment. So many players take 2 full seasons to start looking good, if we judged them on their first 2 or 3 games I dont think there would be many new signings who would be considered a success.

He actually was given a run of games in pre season and in almost every game he was man of the match or had very good reports.

The fact he was a very promising player under David Moyes and was tipped as a future England star and has played very few games and is considered ''absolutely terrible'' by our fans is very much down to the manager managing the player rather than the players talents.

In the last 3 years he has 16 appearences, Im guessing over 10 of them are as a sub.

Hes very fit, has a good engine, has an eye for goal and is a young English proespect. As a club wed rather sign a second rate French player and not give players like Gosling a chance.

Its a joke.

Hes been here 3 seasons and in 2 of them he has played 1 and 3 games.

To judge a player as very good or very bad you need a lot more evidence.

I personally think he would have been a great signing for Palace and Id be more than happy to see him given a run of games for us, it would be very hard to be worse than Cabaye was for the 2nd half of last season, who would have defintiely deserved the tag of being absolutely terrible.

Just watched the highlights yesterday and the last goal sums him up well. We break from our own box and he is right there next to the challenge, after 2 30 yard balls, Sammy is in the other 6 yard box and Gosling has managed to cover the whole pitch in the 90th minute after playing his first full competitive game in 3 or 4 years? Shows desire, enthusiasm, passion and I very much doubt Cabaye would have been able to do similar.

He saved us two goals from the line where a lot of players sturggle and seemed to create 2 or 3 chances. Now ofc this is Morecambe and just the highlights but just trying to show a little bit of where I was coming from.

edit for the first goal gosling is again ahread of shola

Could have done with some depth, and unproven players with quality that we could make shine is our only hope of getting a decent player, because of our wage constraints. I was gutted when it went through, it didn't make much sense why it wasn't finalised, and was all dreadfully acrimonious

[Ant040689]

Sunderland at home tomoz, come season's end you have to hope we got 3 points here.

For some reason I think Altidore will score here.

[Alverton]

Why doesn't Dwight Gayle's team mates like to pass the ball to him?  Instead preferring a wild swipe from 30+yds whilst under pressure.

At last, a Ground in England top flight with a Noisy Home support.

Noticed that in the Spurs game a couple of weeks back, great support.

Cardiff were great last week as well, may just be the novelty factor.

Man Utd Chelsea - sterile.

Always a great support from Palace at home, thanks to the 'Ultras' we have by that corner flag in the Holmsdale stand behind the goal to the left of the camera and on the closest side. They may be a little cringeworthy in and of themselves being a group that look to follow the same mentality as the Italian Ultras, but they do help bring out the noisy side of everyone and it is great to be there.

Of the game I have to thank John O'Shea for getting us out of jail there. I doubt Gayle will be our long term penno taker btw, I am nearly certain giving it to him there was just to settle him down and get him off the mark. Ecstatic by the result and think our right back Ward was fantastic.

[TightEnd]

It looked a good atmosphere, and an important win obviously

btw, Gayle telegraphed the penalty, stared down the spot it was going for a good ten seconds. Westwood should have saved it, but it was a sign of Gayle's inexperience that keepers will be picking up on.

I would suggest that your cheerleaders are cringeworthy not your support

Yeh, I can't be surprised I guess, if Gayle gets the nod again for the next penno, only because if you take one and score, by right, you are entitled to the next one if you want it, but I would imagine Chamakh would be on them normally. Garvan would take them if on the pitch though as he is our no.1 for pennos.

Agree with Gayle not taking the best penno kick there Tighty, but there could be a chance he takes 10 more obvious pens like that and them to still creep in, and if so, happy days!

I saw we played well against Stoke and Tottenham before and now Sunderland, and I think we are going to compete quite well in this division, hopefully enough to stay up. I think this year at the bottom, much like last year in the prem, all the bottom half of the table could have the possibility of going down.

I think only 8 teams in this league are 'certain' of staying up and then it will be somewhat of a tussle between the rest, with any one of them possibly going down. Ofc some are much less likely, but what I am trying to say is there are 12 teams in this league, that if they were in the bottom 3 by the end of the year, you couldn't be outrageously shocked. Hopefully that will play in Palace's favour.

We have signed Hunt from Huddersfield, a right back, I hope he has come in as back up to Ward and Jimmy Kebe from Reading as yet another forward, but this time with outrageous pace. Holloway has mentioned he wants another 3 or 4 signings come Monday too, which is exciting to hear.

It's 1/3 with SkyBet Nicklas Bendtner is one of them. He would be a great addition.

They are fit though, and our home form has been awesome since their inclusion, so tactically, I think you have to start with them and then give them another 15 mins run out at the break.

Ricardo Vaz Te deal also close apparently.

Probably going to be a busy couple of days.
