The Palace Fan 3,409 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Seems to be a bit of a fixture swing now with two difficult fixtures for Southampton and Leicester. I think we will learn a lot about them Leeds and Norwich over the next two gameweeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2023 Two up. Southampton give it away again and good movement by McAteer is found by Dewsbury-Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2023 Another mistake from Southampton leads to a goal This time Mavididi does finish after squandering a few opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2023 Happy days. Convincing win against a fellow promotion favourite. Extremely sloppy at times, but also much more dominant at other times. We're starting to click much more as each game goes by. Winks is too good for this league. Pereira, McAteer, Mavididi and Vardy all very good today too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2023 Never a red in the end for them but Russell Martin fuming can be injected all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,409 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I hope the highlights are extended for all to see because that game was hilarious. Russell Martin's suicide ball is everything you'd thought it would be at a bigger club. When they win he's lauded for his possession based stuff, but when they lose they lose really bad. Leicester City werent great, theyd be very naive to assume that they will beat many teams on that performance. Mavididi's decision making at times was poor and there defending at times was awful. Particulary from set pieces. James Justin getting beaten in the air by Ryan Fraser is a good example. Thankfully when they went in to 'hold my beer' mode, Che Adams refused to take it. But Southampton, Jesus, the amount of stray passes from defenders to Leicester players. It was like they were drunk. The best example I can give is Leicester's fourth goal. Southampton had a corner. Everyone apart from Smallbone went up. They took a short corner, Sulemana passed it to Mavididi and he was off, he was through on goal from his own half. All I could think was 'imagine if he missed' but thankfully he didn't. I’m not sure you can blame the defenders for being caught upfield on a corner where the player passes it to the opposition on a short corner but either way it was hilarious to watch and symbolic of every team Russell Martin has managed so far.

Fair comments. I think I see it as a positive that we weren't at our best but polished Southampton off quite easily. The sloppiness in defence needs to be cut out sharp though. As on another day we'd be on the receiving end of what happened today. Things just seemed to click more for us and thankfully those moments outweighed our mistakes.

I still remember the jacks happy to see the back of Cooper, despite getting them to the playoffs twice. They replaced him with Russell Martin and did fuck all, while Cooper is managing in the prem. As for us today, please turn up and beat the cunts for once. That'd be very nice. Also, I'll be absolutely gobsmacked if there's no trouble tonight. Why South Wales Police thought it'd be a great idea to allow this at tonight (no doubt Sky played a good part as well mind) with a lot truly pissed up beforehand (especially with Wales playing now in the rugby) is anyone's guess.

I presume its been driven by the TV companies refusing to have two EFL matches on Sunday in a weekend where Leeds play Millwall and Cardiff play Swansea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,127 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The first half of the Cardiff City v Swansea City match is probably the worst and most boring 1st half of football that I have seen in years. I hope that we see a drastic improvement in the 2nd half, lets face it, it can't get much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not much in the way of quality or just having that bite really. Shows how poor both attacks are, considering we both have shite defences. For us, we've had a fair bit of the ball (feels odd typing that) but no clear cut chances bar Mèitè's chance at the end. Need to get Robinson and Tanner on at some point. Also, I don't care if it was Swansea or our lot that started it, we were meant to have a minute's silence for an ex-player passing and those that died in the Moroccan earthquake. Both sides fucked it. Disgraceful and we should hang out heads in shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,127 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Tanner gives Cardiff City the lead, at last some real action. Lets see how Swansea City respond to going down a goal. Surely this should get both sides playing more intense football now. Cardiff City 1-0 Swansea City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
