'- Really? Honestly? Back in the USSR,,,you don't know how lucky you are.

He is right as well.

With TP at the helm, Keith Millen, Gerry Francis and Dave Kemp along Garner and keeper coach Woods, we are in the best of hands and relegation should NOT be the issue next season.

I didn't read as many answers as others have done. The future looks pretty murky going on what KM writes. He's kind of right about the counter attack method working in a team's favour, but that is only when opposing teams are allowed to attack. What happens when your team needs a result and the opposition are happy to hold back? Palace will surely now have to play players like Bannan and Williams, creators, the type of player TP doesn't like using. What would Millen do in that situation? He doesn't say.

Good answer Joe. We Palace supporters have frayed nerves from such tactics!

Yes Palace did seem to have more control of matches towards to season's end. But the teams they played were still looking to press on against a team they probably saw as inferior upstarts. The question(without wanting to become boring) is if the opposition regard Palace as the better team, as Palace did v Chelsea, L'pool, Everton? This really means changing basic tactics a great deal and trawling the market for the players to do so. Can Jedi etc do the job? Not sure. Except Ward and Cham, not sure about the rest...though I love them!
