That was embarrassing. In front of the Sky cameras as well.

Fortunately with Arsenal-Hull on BT Sports not too many were watching.

Manager gets most blame today. Too many changes. I know we have another game on Tuesday, but unnecessary to make wholesale changes.

Weather was awful. I know it's the same for both sides, but I believe it suited the welsh boys more than us.

Stockdale made two successive errors leading to their second goal. First a poor kick out, followed by a joke of an attempt at a save.
Bruno was no better than OK. Too many overhit balls and questionable defending.
Goldson was OK, no better, but gave away the penalty.
Dunk was very poor. Greer should play on Tuesday.
Calderon I thought did OK. Not sure why he was subbed at ht. Good to see Rosenior back, but I would have used the sub where it was really needed. Odd decision.
Sidwell did nothing. What was the problem?
Stephens OK. Nice goal.
Crofts OK.
Knockhaert. Nothing went right for him today including slipping over twice in a minute, the first time in the goalmouth when he could have had a scoring opportunity.
Skalak. Did OK, but I would have rather had Murphy playing.
Zamora. Not his day either.
Of the subs, Rosenior was fine as was Hemed. Not so sure about Baldock.

We really missed Kayal. Was he injured or just rested? I guess this proves that our squad is not quite so strong as we thought it was. One shot in the first half. Only two on target all game. We need that loan striker.

The worst thing for me was I was out and missed it ! But I still fully expect you to go up , not necessarily automatically but through the lottery of the play offs .

That was embarrassing. In front of the Sky cameras as well. What's SKY got to do with it? It was embarrassing full stop, and showed up our shortcomings as genuine automatic promotion contenders.

This thread is embarrassing.

In front of the Palace fans as well.

You know we don`t need strikers, wash your mouth out with soap

Awful

I know it's only one game but, on the basis of what I saw today, we don't want to be anywhere near the Prem !

Wasn't embarrassing at all, these things happen. Poor game by all. We go again on Tuesday and if we can get 3 points all will be forgotten

Bloody hell, these things happen in football (especially the Championship). Keep some perspective and move on to the next game. That is what the manager will be telling the players to do and that is what we should do.

Shit on the telly. We're always shit on the telly. Shit on the teeeeeelly. We're always shit on the telly.

Just hope that all changes, if/when we make it to the playoffs! :)
