Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Palace

[Topplayersleave]

If we're ferret shaggers then then palace fans are cantona shaggers

Another issue about that is Cantona picking his moment perfectly, to kick a fan in the Crystal Palace stands
If he'd done that to a fan at Bramall Lane at that time, one of his legs would have been in the South Stand, his other leg would have been getting thrown about on the kop and his head would be replacing the football.

If it happened in todays calmer times he'd still be dragged in and kicked to pieces

Its brilliant isnt it? I mean, our shape is so simple - just let our CBs attack, then lump it over the top and its 2 strikers on one defender, its that easy.

“We’ll murder them on the counter” has been uttered, attempted and failed to materialise about 100 times in the last 3 years.

 

[The Crab]

Not sure where they get the us being overconfident from, cant say I've seen much of that on here.

Yes, if we are to stay up, this is one of those games we would be looking to get something from. But palace are a decent side with players who can hurt us if they are in the mood. This is the premier league and we've got to be "on it" every week. But we've got players who can hurt them too if they get as complacent as some of their fans seem to be.

We're not in the championship anymore Toto.

Cheers roy

I was wondering which end of the Ferret would be safer.. ........ asking fir a friend obviously

Have you never played ferret roulette....

 

[Brian Deane]

Not I personally as I'm not too keen on roulette

 

[The Crab]

Palace are probably the biggest club in the south to have never won anything significant. Barely a London club, Croydon was in Surrey until the 60s.

Croydon, the only place that makes Hillsborough look like the hanging gardens of Babylon...

 

[Scarebus]

“We’ll murder them on the counter” has been uttered, attempted and failed to materialise about 100 times in the last 3 years.

It's easy to make that assumption when we were the best defensive team in the league last season.

 

[Topplayersleave]

They can be confident because they're a decent team, they're established in the Premier League and have Premier League know how.
It's all new to us and we're still finding our feet.

But it all means nothing on any given day, and most of them have no idea how we approach games or what we will do.

Pre-Match View From Crystal Palace — The View From

“Perfect first home game for SU, unless Wilf plays and is focussed, and Townsend gets his act together.” “Wilder is a very strong tactician - and they play with ‘over lapping centre backs’ which overloads the defence, and overcomes traditional organised two banks of four. May create space for us...

Cheers Roy your read is better than a pigs program

 

[mablethorpe utd]

Nailed on defeat.


Some fair comments there tbf. As per above the "overlapping" is far more complicated than overloads, charging fwd.

Good test this i feel.

Is Wilf their zone man?

Wilf? Rostrum?

It's "roulade".......

 

[SUFC Guy]

I know folks have already posted this but....

“Time to put these cloth capped ferret shaggers back in their place.”

I'd never put a cap on my ferret FFS !!!

 

[Rob86]

The “overlapping centre backs” discussion is really going to get on my tits this year. It’s the 2nd game of the season and I already despise the term ! It’s like one of those business cliches that ‘fancy themselves’ always say in the office.

How about “it’s a fluid style that allows players to express themselves and push forward with other players COVERING their position”

 

[IAmBlaDE]

Thanks Roy.

I'm putting it down to their Mockney humour.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Yes, there are far bigger clubs than Palace.......a clear example of Prem Division arrogance getting the better of them, so we'll see who has enough quality to not just compete but to triumph. I sense they see this as 3 points in the bank, let's show them that we're not about to roll over as we tug the forelock.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Cheers Roy. They sound as deluded as our s6 neighbour's

Decent, fairly well informed opinions for the most part & some genuinely interesting tactical debate about how to counter our system. Taking us seriously. Good view from.

 

[Rusty view]

Wilf? Rostrum?

Aye. He's making a return. Wish it was him anf not zaha

 

[Pinchy]

Zero Trophies,
Smaller Ground,
Lower Attendances,
No real cult classic managers,
Fail to even sell out low ticket allocation away from home,
More cringey drum smacking overrated atmosphere.


But yeah definitely a bigger club then us.
Can’t believe how jealous I am that I don’t support the Massive Crystal Palace a gargantuan club really up there with the greats...

Titans, they are...

 

[Pinchy]

The premier league really goes to the head of some fans.

Why is it a huge sign of disrespect to expect a good result? If we don’t look at the likes of palace as our more likely source of points where the hell are we supposed to look?

Well, I hugely disrespect them, for one.

Tiny club. We’re massive.

Crystal Palace? Crystal Fucking Palace.

Nice to hear a bit of shiftiness wtf yawnmouth were all about I don’t know cheers Woy

They really do fancy themselves they? Ugly football? They won't call it ugly when they see it

I’m using ‘false number fives’ and ‘floating winger’. False number five I first heard from whoever was the studio pundit for our game at Derby last season, floating winger I started using after I saw Duffy’s heatmap for last season.

 

[scottyblade70]

Cheers Panchero!!
Nice to get back to teams hating us.
We're back!!

 

[SUFCinks]

I like them! Very talented squad and a handful of players capable of producing magic with pace and trickery. Proper club, proper fans. Can't wait!
