Matchday thread - Toon v Palace

[Valentino's fast feet]

The pitch seems in quite poor condition, relatively speaking for an establish premier league team.

Great ball from Bruno there

[overseasTOON]

We've got to win this one.

[Donkey Toon]

Sheffield 1 up. Long may it last!

[Donkey Toon]

It didn't ... 1-1.

[Colly]

I've brought Harry Maguire into my draft team simply for their upcoming fixtures, so 0-0 would be fine. Or a 4-3 loss where he gets a hat trick.

Hat trick is on.

Can't watch the match cos I'm in work. Anyone want to give me a proper summary of the match? (Reddit seems to think everything is Longstaff's fault)

How are we doing? Stats make it look one sided, and not in our favour.

[Don Sholeone]

One thing that's clear from this season is the likes of Murphy, Krafth, Longstaff, Lascelles, Dubravka need to be giving us 110% just to keep up with the players around them. When they are off it, it's become so noticeable. Think it could take 3-4 more windows to really address the squad quality as a whole.

Haven't got into our stride at all, glimpses towards the end of the half but nothing special. Palace have had most of the ball but haven't done anything with it - so not worrying just yet.

Yeah, and I think Howe, eales etc have said that too.

[UlversToon]

Bugger!

[Chappy]

Shambles

[originallad]

Well that was coming. Should have made changes at half time.

[Chappy]

On the bright side Sheff Utd are 2-1 up...

[Don Sholeone]

Murphy is so far out of his f***ing depth, shame we dont have any actual fullbacks on the bench

[lassassinblanc]

Glasner has done a great job at Palace considering the shambles they were under Hodgson

Seems OK at the moment

Unless we're massively scuppered by FFP I really don't see this. We've had an absurdly disrupted season between Tonali and an injury crisis to an extent I've never seen watching this club, there's no way most of those should be anything other than Ritchie style last resorts any normal season with an addition or two. I also think that's really harsh on Dubravka and Murphy, who are decent enough rotation options.
