    Play Off Race '24 thread

    Like us last season. And this season we have gone on a run even earlier.

    Play Off Race '24 thread

    That takes us to 12th and 14th. Teams that are struggling to get wins. Most of those below us were above us with a gap before our present run started. We were in 6th then got 1 point from 2 games. Went down to 10th. 1 win put us back into 6th. WBA have a tough run of games coming up. I think...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    The problem is he is becoming a hero to some and a target to others. Look at the comments yesterday. He was supposed to be poor other than winning a penalty, scoring the penalty and then getting another goal 😄

    Something urgent needs to happen

    As I said there's racial profiling and there's racial abuse. Racial profiling happens on here all the time. That's not a problem when done in the correct terms..... If you mention a player is black that is a racial profile. If you throw in an insult at the same time that's racial abuse. And...

    Unhappy Robins

    Name another side that wouldn't struggle if they lost 5 of their best players. This includes those at the top. We've just done without 3. Still in the top 6. Kitching is back again. We have goals right through our side. Hopefully Sheaf will be back in a couple of weeks. Then we're back to...

    Something urgent needs to happen

    We need a bit of perspective here. Racial profiling is wrong in every way? Where do you draw the line? Japanese people are well into their martial arts. Are you not allowed to mention it? Japanese people are not very tall on average. Are we allowed to say Tats is small for a football player...

    NOW who’s our penalty taker

    It was a perfect penalty. When was the last time you saw a penalty where the keeper didn't dive to either side? A keeper would look a right dick if he just stood there and didn't move. A keeper doesn't wait to see which way that the ball is going. He either guesses which way the ball is going...

    Not true? We did play and won each time 😁 For context see what I replied to.

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    Wouldn't have a clue. Went with mates who support Palace. Don't ever go to games with glory supporters.

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    I was in the away end. That wasn't a deterrent for them. I would say a full single row of police and some stewards from top to bottom was more of a deterrent. It wouldn't be cheap but the extra income from extra tickets being available would more than compensate for it. And most would probably...

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    Or maybe some also go in there with the thought that less idiots will go in there. I go to games and give my vocal support. I want to be with those who are similar. I have never taken my little boy into the family zone. All a personal choice.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Personally I think the keeper did well to get a touch on it. If it was lower he could have got his foot or leg to it. When hit that close a keeper only gets a split second to see where it is going and to react. It is all instinctive. You can only go down as fast as gravity will allow. Much...

    Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed

    Went to Manchester City v Palace just before covid. A single row of police officers and two rows of empty seats. We were right there. Atmosphere was brilliant. Not the slightest bit of trouble. Banter was top class. Treat people with respect get respect back. Treat them like animals and some...

    Torp or Hamer?

    When you consider where we were when Robins came back it seems strange to me. SISU took the blame for everything (quite rightfully so) and the players got a free pass because they were crap. Fast forward 7 years. We have the best squad we have had since at least the 90's. We've had players...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    So if you ignore the pen he got then scored and then ignore the goal he scored......... Did you also ignore the easy chances Gyokeres missed?

    Next block of 5

    Just like last season? We were the outsiders with Luton. Remember how that went? I said 74 points as that could/should be enough for 5th. And don't forget Ipswich. Dropping like a stone. Now only 13 points behind them. 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats in last 10 games. Take out their cup games...

    Some things are soon forgotten about.

    Next block of 5

    We're in 6th averaging 1.51 ppg. Sunderland the same as us. Everyone else below us us on less than 1.5 ppg. If everything continues the same 70 points would be good enough. That's a big IF. Win 2 lose 1 doesn't sound good but is 2ppg for the rest of the season. Win 10 lose 5. 30 points would...

    Torp or Hamer?

    But when Hamer first joined us he was a liability. Or are we comparing a finished article in Hamer with a new signing Torp?
