A View From The Other Side: Crystal Palace

[Trusty Steed]

"Guess Sage doesn't care about winning this cup then."

"2-0 Fulham win."

"Nketiah off with a hamstring injury is my prediction 😔"

"Part of what made us winners under Glasner was the idea that every single game was winnable and must be won."

"Play the reserves. I remember last year in the QF we had to play games within 2 days of each other. We don't need this this year!"

"Does anybody apart from Fulham give a S***e"

"Come on lads. loads of shirts up for grabs, go and take them."

"These games are almost impossible to predict, as we have no idea how strong a team both sides will decide to put out. Despite that, I think we might win this purely on the basis that I think there still seems a willingness among the players to fight for Sage, they just need some confidence and belief to return. 1-3 Palace."

"Still wedded to 3 at the back - guess the rationale being if it ain't working - keep trying..!! 🙈"

"Decent looking team starting tonite, well on paper anyway (remember that awful bog paper back in the day which you took to school and used for art lessons?)"

"The Fulham lineup looks like much more from their first eleven. Feels like a bit of a free hit now. It would be great to beat Fulham at their place again - with our second eleven!"

"Repeat 29th March 2025 merci"

"So 2-1 but .... Fulham score inside 10 mins first & 2nd half. We have 2 goals ruled off , we have 3 chances 1st half easily missed, 3 chances missed in 2nd half also"

"I have in my mind Fulham 2 CPFC 1.
I think we need a morale boosting win.
If Sage is under the reported internal pressure then he needs a result tonight.
We've won this fixture the last three times , I don't see us making it four.
1-0 Fulham"

Sounds like none of them care

After two defeats already, there's no sign of Palace's Cottage curse ending anytime soon. From a Palace board:

'Let's be totally honest - we did not deserve to win last night - performance follows the same downward spiral of recent performances - irrespective of the result.

This will not change until either Sage accepts the 3 at the back formation is wrong, given the options we have available.

Or most likely Sage is sacked and the new manager comes in and does exactly that..!!'
