September 29, 201312 yr it really is startling to think we could be playing them next season,but it's a realistic and alarming prospect as I've said previously we've simply not got the time for dougie's rebuilding plan to kick in,very sad but very true But we have time for a new bloke with a new plan? I was pissed off at the performance Saturday but ai just don't see the point in chopping and changing now
September 29, 201312 yr Seems odd timing. For once, the players showed some emotion at full time and looked gutted, collapsed to the floor. Is that the reaction of players who the next day would be planning to revolt against the manager? Guessing we are talking player(s) not involved, so how much weight do they carry?
September 29, 201312 yr True or not I still can't think of a current player I would be upset to see leave
September 29, 201312 yr I'm well and truly stuck here! Yes the league position and performances are wank but how do we go from the 2nd half/3months of last season to this(nobody say Dawson because I don't buy that). We are fast becoming another club like Forrest/wolves/Blackburn changing managers and for what? Just because we have spent some time in the top league we don't have the automatic right to be back there.

Is that the reaction of players who the next day would be planning to revolt against the manager? Guessing we are talking player(s) not involved, so how much weight do they carry? heard it from one,another poster on here had it confirmed by another. seems the whole team is unhappy on another note - I noticed some stats on the-wanderer.co.uk re the 4-5-1 and 4-4-2 formations used since freedman's arrival if we'd have played 4-4-2 all last season with the average points per game,we'd have finished 2nd if we'd played 4-5-1 all last season with the average points per game we'd have finished 2nd bottom now,didn't someone say gartside's relative was the club's statistician -- she should show those stats to the hierarchy
September 29, 201312 yr we played 4-4-2 at blackburn that worked out well, didn't it its little to do with formations and lots to do with players doing basics even yesterday lee misses a fcuking sitter on the stroke of halftime lee, eagles and ngog conspire to fcuk up a great chance round about the hour beckford misses 2 one on ones bogdan chucks one in his own net knight misses a sitter in the last minute these players are failing and no amount of whinging and whining about formations and tactics excuses that
September 29, 201312 yr There is far too much over analysis going on here. Dougie Freedman left a spiritual home to chase the riches of a relatively long serving former PL club. He's receiving a salary that Palace could only dream of paying (this is before they got promoted). Why would he leave the comfort of his southern based home if it wasn't for a package that was too good to refuse. It's not difficult, just accept this guy is not for us. Oh and by the way take Lenny the Lion with you.

I can't get my head around it ?

That was only 2 or 3 though
September 29, 201312 yr If it's true and the players are revolting then they're all cnuts. I hate them all.

September 29, 201312 yr If freedman goes, which manager is going to take charge of a club that fucks off it's gaffer in under a year if results don't go well and where the players see their arses when they're dropped/don't like the formation/have to do more than 3 hours "work" a day? Who's going to want to take the job? No half decent boss, we'll end up with cockend after cockend. Dougie should leave the troublemakers in reserves/loan them out to whoever and we pay their wage just to get them out of the club and replace them with some of the "ones for the future". What's the point of signing players for the future if the manager who signs them hasn't got one at the club?
September 29, 201312 yr Today on SSN there was a stat I just caught a glance of. I'm sure it said there are only 2 championship managers who've been at a club longer than 2 years It's just getting daft this.
September 29, 201312 yr Curious this rumour/story should come up now. There was definitely a hint of player unrest when the players were getting back into the coach at Brighton - before the reported abuse started. What's right and what's wrong is a moot point when we're almost bottom of the Championship with 4 points and no wins. Something at the Reebok is badly wrong (and it's not the fans), so who's in charge and who's going to sort it out.
September 29, 201312 yr Christ this is getting deep Bring on Tuesday when we can get back to blokes, grass and a bag of wind ffs
September 29, 201312 yr True or not I still can't think of a current player I would be upset to see leave This. Fuck them all off especially if they're 'revolting'. I want to revolt against how fucking shite they are
September 29, 201312 yr Medo can stay tho through all of whats been going on, i've been able to come up with reasons for what freedman has been doing not selecting medo has had me beat tho he was awful at blackburn
September 29, 201312 yr through all of whats been going on, i've been able to come up with reasons for what freedman has been doing not selecting medo has had me beat tho he was awful at blackburn He had had a couple of crap games What's Pratley done so badly though?
September 29, 201312 yr If any of this is true I'd still back Dougie, the players can moan all they want but show some fucking spirit and passion on the pitch don't go thru the motions. A few of them seem to care but fuck me, go on the pitch and show the manager what you can do, not play like you don't give a fuck and hope the manager gets sacked. Get shut and play the fucking kids
