Played a Palace team who had picked up 3 points from their last 5 games.
After we started so badly that they couldn't just give us the ball and counter on us as we kept giving it away, Palace literally ceded possession and waited to counter. It was so easy for them. They were pretty rubbish as well. Their two in centre midfield played really well, but outside that a bit of a stroll in the park for them. They were the team who should have taken chances to score more, not us.
We passed it from one side of the defence to the other with consummate ease. Even forwards occasionally before we passed it backwards again. There was a bit of excitement on the occasions we gave it away. Had like a handful of shots. None were anywhere near going in.
The funniest thing is that some people think this tea will come straight back up
Ramsdale - 6 - Not a great deal to do. Took one cross really well then dropped the next one and the for the 678th time this season got away with it.
Osborn - 4 - Headless chicken up and down the wing. Lots of energy, not much skill or intelligence. puffed and panted
Stevens - 3 - Shocking. Kept giving the ball away and doesn't look comfortable playing in the back 3 whatsoever
Egan - 6 - Made a couple of timely interception and was generally steady at the back. Didn't win enough headers for me.
Ampadu - 3 - Slow, lightweight, ponderous, prone to pass it straight to the opposition. weak for their goal
Bogle - 5 - Our saviour finally started after becoming the best midfielder in the world after one substitute appearance on the right. Plenty of energy and kept going but too weak and looked second best too often. Got forward pretty well but ineffective.
Fleck - 4.5 - Better but still way, way below last year's standards. At least was more involved but too slow to do anything and defensively suspect
Norwood - 3.5 - Far too slow on the ball. Most of his passes went to the opposition but he at least looked to try harder passes. Defensively dire and Eze went passed him like a child stealing sweats for the goal. People run passed and through him. Resembles a chocolate fireguard
Basham - 5 - Round of applause for his 300th game for the club but despite getting forward a few times and causing them problems he's far too slow to decide what to do with it when it comes down the right wing. Defensively, not great
McGoldrick - 5 - Came deeper and deeper to try and get the ball but then just passed it back to the defender. It doesn't seem an efficient way to play football. Basically played in midfield but slowed everything down
Mousset - 4.5 - Had very little service and almost zero support but at least pressed a little bit for once. Held the ball up slightly better but did very little
Brewster - 4 - Anonymous. Weak. Looks tidy whilst also being wholly ineffectual.
Hackford - 5 - Not much to do but didn't look out of his depth by any means
Wilder - 2 - Despite it not working for the last 20 games, decided to try it again. We were the poorer side from the off. Only managed to make 2 substitutions because only managed to put two attacking players on the bench. Surprised he didn't throw George on down the wing but that would have involved not continuing to do the things that hasn't worked for 20 games. Osborn made way for his tactical genius change he makes every game but which hasn't worked for I don't know how long. We are, as a team, merely making up the numbers.
Palace were poor but it was all too easy to beat us. Milivojevic and McArthur bossed Dosey, Bashful and Dopey in our midfield.
