This is a very good point, in much as any team that is going to progress and get better and climb the league will by the very nature of the game have more and more high profile fixtures. It's called the reward for success and everytime we have a big match Poyet picks a negative side and we get...

You could argue that Dunk fouled someone after miscontroling the ball, playing tippy tappy across the back line. Murray should never have been allowed to leave and maybe Greer is being found out at this level. Add to the the team selection after a win midweek and some might argue otherwise. But...

I've been saying our side has a weak underbelly for some time now. We are fine when things are going our way, but there is no fight in the side. To many lightweights in the side who won't roll their sleeves up and put the necks on the line. That's why Poyet will never take us out of this league.

Bringing Barnes back so we are tighter at the back and changing a winning side, clearly a mistake. But then most of us knew that anyway, the only way to beat Palace was always going to be to play an attacking side and take the game to them.

Probably,,,,it will be everyone's fault from the referee, to defenders not controlling the ball, to strikers missing chances. He won't say sorry to 3,000 fans who have spent a fortune close to Xmas and he will say, he is off to play golf...

Well I believe Gus is full of shit and spouts his mouth off far to much. Wonder if he will say we are the best team in the division tonight. Murray didn't want to go but was a free agent, we didn't value him as much as Palace, end of story. Gus had his value of Murray and it wasn't enough. That...

And you believe that???

Gus can't help it if Dunk can't control a ball(he picks him), he can't help it if the strikers can't score(he signed them) and he can't do nothing about a goal and an dive from Murray(he let him go and didn't want him) and it's not his fault we are going to lose another big game (he picked a...

Murray dived, never a pen....disgrace.

It sounds good lol..I must have been to Selhurst Park a dozen times. Last time I went there on a Saturday we were still ketteled at Norwood Junction at 7pm and got home later than a trip to Manchester area. Wasn't going to spend £100 on a day out for that experience again, not this close to Xmas...

But that's the point, the MANAGER keeps picking him. It's not Barnes's fault his crap....One chance in 45mins in a derby game. Ok, the Dunk red card has not helped but that's poor and it's always the same old story in the big games...Poyet is so scared of losing games that he does not pick the...

But he gives so much to the team in defence. It's just a bloody shame that it's goals that actually win games.

Barnes head in his hands, he knew he should have buried it.....won't get many chances in this game.

f*** sake.....maybe we will start being more adventurous now. Ten men or no ten men.

If your gunna play tippy tappy keep ball across the back line against quick players, the most important thing is to be able to control the f***ing football, Lewis Dunk!!!!!

Today could be a massive day in our season. More often than not in the last season and a half, when the team have needed a big performance. The team and manager have fell short in the big games. This is a big game and Gus has played the negative card. What's the betting that Dobbie/Hoskins and...

Agreed, wouldn't surprise me to see Barnes get sent off, in a powder keg atmosphere.

Of course I can see that, but it's a negative selection. I've said all along if we look to contain and worry to much about them we will lose. I hope i'm wrong.

I think the question that should be asked, is what did he or Hoskins do so wrong???...compared to Barnes last outing in the shirt.

All I can say is Barnes must be outstanding in training then, so outstanding that what he does in the actual game doesn't matter. All that fuss that Gus made after last Saturday, then he does as he suggested by changing the team on Tuesday, we win comfortably although not a grea performance. So...
