Crystal Palace (A), 20/05/25, 2000 BST. Build up and Match Thread

Bentley dives without outstretching his arms.

He’s fucking hopeless.

 

[EnglishBob]

Their xG is 1.41 but they've scored 4. That's Wolves for you.

 

[Squeak]

Agbadoo has been so sloppy tonight - overconfidence that has cost us a couple of goals.

Agreed. Terrible game from him. Over confident.

 

[Jinky]

17th place with Spurs & Utd (and West Ham) all overtaking us on the final day absolutely nailed on now.

That’s Bentley for you

 

[Mel Evo]

That's Wolves for you.

Drink!

 

[Alan]

Maybe he’ll conclude it’s Guedes up front next season then. I’ll be paying nearly £2K to watch it though, so I kind of hope you’re wrong.

That’s not really the point, but sure, whatever seems most negative.

 

[pagey]

Not going to make a difference, but how's there only 6 minutes added time?

 

[Mel Evo]

That’s not really the point, but sure, whatever seems most negative.

Go on then, what is the point? It’s not abstract stuff, he’s picking players we surely can’t play next year and it’s not experimenting with any new tactics. So he won’t decide to implement it next year.

 

[Dire Wolf]

It's tremendously disappointing how poor we've been the last couple of games. I think it does lend some weight to the argument that our good results happened because we played shit teams.

 

[Sniffer]

17th place with Spurs & Utd (and West Ham) all overtaking us on the final day absolutely nailed on now.

Get your money on that as a win double. They’re both outsiders and a tenner pays out at over £100.

 

[prawnking]

Got a horrible feeling the Leicester home game was the Vitor peak and it's steadily downhill from here on in. Big summer ahead

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Roll on Jeff telling Vitor we've got Boy Wonder coming back to replace Cunha.

 

[prawnking]

BENTLEY DID TWO SAVES

 

[The Bear]

Fucking hate Palace and their fucking imitation ultras

I don't like their wanky goal music either. It was a shit song in the 60s never mind today.

 

[Squeak]

Bentley saves us from a 5 goal mauling... and our guys have basically decided not to get back and help.... thousands of pounds per week = no professional pride.

 

[sycophantia]

It'll be a bit of that plus once we were safe probably hard to stay motivated after the pressure of such a shit season. We weren't terrible in the City and Brighton games, could have got points with a little luck. Tonight was a shambles due to our poor squad and Vitor giving a few some minutes.

Get your money on that as a win double. They’re both outsiders and a tenner pays out at over £100.

Add a Brentford win and you can get 35/1

Despite what Al might think right now I think it’s not quite that bleak. You genuinely still have to beat those teams, and VPs superb achievement shouldn't be underestimated. However, it’s equally wrong to think we’ll simply roll on to a top half finish next year. Our model isn’t sustainable and we need more change than pretty much every other forum / podcast suggests. We’re still flakey at the back and lack genuine creativity / options in the middle. Clearly lost of change in the forward line too. The easily pleased don’t realise how much Cunha has made up for a stodgy formation that isn’t a long term plan.

 

[The Bear]

Nah add West Ham instead.
