Clearly the defensive coaching needs to change. I'd get an experienced ex defender on the payroll as soon as possible and allow them space to develop the back line. Can't we get an experienced defender actually on the team?

Not much point sacking him after that game we will lose anyway. The way we defend i can see City scoring 7 against up. Get rid now and bring in Allardyce to teach our buffoons how to defend No thanks. Kermit the Frog would be a better choice.

I think Millen is part of the problem. Perhaps if Pardew had a better no 2 to help sort us out defensively then we wouldn't be in this position? We shall see what happens during this international break. It's a good time to make a change if it is going to happen? Forget Millen,time to bring in a real fighter,Big Sam.

Well I'm going to leave a lot of you to throw whats left of your toys out of your collective adult prams and make baby noises on here for the rest of the night but I am made of sterner stuff.I was brought up on 80's 2nd and 3rd Division football when there was a certain amount of pride in defeat as long as you had a go.This was a throwback to those days although we play far better football now.Yes we lost in the last minute but we didn't deserve it and for 45 minutes we played with passion,pride and the spirit with which we should all be proud about.Gutting yes but disheartening absolutely not,we will come good soon despite the Pardew out crowd.How people cant enjoy watching a game of football like that I will never know other than to put it down to self-entitlement.Yes we want to win and we lost trying to achieve that but give me that rather than 10 behind the ball and 25% possession every day of the week.Have a good night everyone. Do you have any idea of when that might be because we've been waiting since mid December 2015???
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

We supposedly have experienced and leaders at the back in Dann, Delaney, Mandanda and Cabaye. On of them should have taken charge there. Cabaye I think it was was not deep enough, which left I think Dann on his own.

This team reminds me of holloways blackpool ream when they were promoted. Doesn't matter who we play we're going to push players forward and attack them. Don't worry about defending. Having said that, what a game!

No, I'm not having this - It wasn't their defensive nous that prevailed, it was woeful defending and our lack of defensive nous that cost us. I meant in reference to our previous managers. I'd rather have pardew losing and winning games and us reaching finals, flirting with the top half of the PL over us having say TP in charge, being defensively shrewd winning 1-0 every week and reaching Europe and closing out games like today. I like to be entertained, the middle reaches of the prem and even the Thursday night cup are pretty boring without a bit of flair

On BBC Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham: "We just got excited and went for all three points at 2-2 when maybe we should have held out for the draw." Who exactly was making the decisions at the death then ?
