[Albion] Reasons to be Optimistic post Villa Defeat

[Reddleman]

Right, that was a crushing defeat but I am genuinely not doom and gloom. Here is why:

- We fell behind Villa in the table but the Fulham defeat and the surprise Ipswich win an Bournemouth means not too much damage done.
- Palace dropped points at Southampton and Brentford lost so those playing catch up stay well back
- in the RDZ wonder season we lost the semi final, were exhausted and got beaten by Forest but bounced back, we will again. Tonight was a result of Saturday’s efforts.
- In that RDZ season we had a whole bunch of midweek games due to postponements. After this week we have no more midweek games so players can refresh
- our squad depth is still excellent. Look at that bench today. Get Saturday out the way and we can really motor
- If you had offered us 7 points from Fulham, Bournemouth Manchester City and Villa we would have jumped at it.
- after Palace the fixtures are a little easier. Maybe that won’t suit us but if we want Europe they do give us a good chance of points.

We can do this….

Thats a very positive spin on Palace gaining a point on Brighton tonight.

Win at Palace and tonight will be forgotten.

Thats a very positive spin on Palace gaining a point on Brighton tonight.

They were playing away at what could be rhe worst team ever in PL history, we just battered same 4-0. Dropping two points is a terrible outcome for them.

I don't see how anyone can be positive after watching that spineless dross. We're done.

I'm sitting on an eight coach train in midweek....

 

[Flounce]

I cannot think of a single positive. Sorry

I am also shitting myself about the Palace game

Evening’s are getting lighter…

 

[One Love]

European qualification is still in our hands.

Didn't think we were that bad this evening, just that the crucial moments went Villa's way.

No more injuries?

 

[kevsbha]

How much did they pay for the ref

 

[mothy]

Hopefully Bart will get sold / dropped

 

[Tomc2010]

Life's too short to stress too much man. We have no influence over the outcome whatsoever. Weather's glorious; days are getting longer; more to life than football (when we're in bad form )

Who said anything about finding positives?

 

[singing4seagulls]

Minteh fully rested.
Dunk, Pedro, Baleba semi rested.

Ready for palace.

 

[London Irish]

Thats a very positive spin on Palace gaining a point on Brighton tonight.

Come on, only joke teams earn a point against Southampton

 

[Flounce]

Who said anything about finding positives?

By definition no positives would suggest not being optimistic…

1. A devastating night for Evertonians and Arsenal plastics.

2. First bet this year. Based on no Webster and Rutter.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

That was shit.
Back to where we were before the 7-0.

No intensity, terrible decision making, dreadful defending.

My fear is that Giorginio and Webster have been the biggest part of our improved form.

Hopefully a one-off and Fab can get the boys fully prepared for Saturday.
