Even the most blue tinted specs fan has to agree they’re doing well. They’ve made a couple of good signings and are winning, and sometimes being gifted a game.
All we can do is beat those we come up against. Palace is a game we need to push on from. I can see other teams adapting to that tactic now because it’s a proven way to beat us. What’s more worrying is that we waste so many chances before we actually score. Yet other teams are smashing them past us at every chance.
I have no doubt we will improve after this blip, but we can’t afford to let the dippers get more than 8 points ahead. They won’t make the same mistake twice. I wouldn’t be able to bear the sight of Klipperty and his teeth like a witch doctors necklace all over the media.
