Our playing out from the back with ball playing defenders is allowing us to create more chances and should continue to accrue more points in future games.
However, I don’t see our record on conceding from set pieces,crosses and balls over the top necessarily improving.
Anderson could easily have been sent off yesterday, continually failed to clear his lines with weak headers and clearances falling to the edge of the box and was culpable for the last minute chance for Vydra.
On the other hand he had an involvement in our goals and is a very good footballer with a good range of passing.
Similarly Guehi has many footballing attributes but is not a dominant central defender and our goalkeeper , whilst a good shot stopper, does not dominate his penalty area.
This leads me conclude that our vulnerability will continue in this area, but I believe the upsides will outweigh the downsides.

Fully agree, Roy was great for this club and kept us in PL under very difficult circumstances. As a point of interest our points tally is currently about the same as it was last season at this time. Let’s enjoy the moment but be aware there is still a long way to go before we can say we are safe this season!

We give away some cheap free kicks and yesterday was no different.

Like everything in life, evolution works better in the long run than revolution. Roy was the right manager in his time. Vieira is the right manager for the present time. If anyone deserves a lot of credit, it's Parish who put both of them in a position to deliver what we needed, when we needed it. A lot of supporters need to grow up and realise that some of their criticisms are little more than pettiness borne of ignorance. The definition of a "great job" is not constant. It depends on meeting expectations and expectations change.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

It is not hard - stop giving away stupid free kicks in our half (Ayew), and be more committed to clearing the ball. Koutaye let his marker go for the first, and 3 of then fannying around looking at the ball for the second. Ward 6'2", Jock 6'4", and Kouyate (not small) get your head on the ball please fellas.

Need to sharpen up pretty quickly as teams will be looking for cheap fouls and pumping the ball high in the box going forward. Vinnie needs to be a bit more commanding going forward.

Burnley’s second goal was really poor, we had 3 players there to block it and they got in each other’s way. Didn’t get to the match, so will watch the full match a little later.

We seem to be playing all the top teams at their best and the weaker teams when they are starting to show some form.

On a good note, only one point behind the Seasiders now. Didn’t take long to close that gap which we are always told to mind. Brighton’s luck and form is deserting them now, just how we like it!
