Your Crystal Palace v Southampton Match Reports

I_would added 17:10 - Oct 29 Ralph should have played JWP. Also its unfair to let their GK draw a target on his chest as Adam can't resist an attempt at a bulls eye, he usually succeeds that's the problem.

codge added 17:39 - Oct 29 Diablo wasted space passed so often to the opposite team l lost count.AMN should start he looked in a different class to what was around him,you just can’t decide to play only 45 minutes as it’s a 90 minute game, for some reason we tend to forget that. Our passing was a shambles to many to the opposition and not to our own players,JWP has no chance to go to the World Cup the way he is playing he seems to have lost the plot.Referee was awful you would of thought he was playing for them.

Bawdrip added 17:55 - Oct 29 Listened on the radio. Sounded like we were murdered in the first half. Diallo had a nightmare and Ward Prowse remains so out of form. A much better second half but Adams finishing cost us a point.

LeTissIwish added 18:08 - Oct 29 We'd better pray there are three teams worse than us this season, but I don't think there is. Saints have had the desire to win coached out of them, their fear of losing far outweighs their desire to win and the blame for this lies squarely at the feet of Ralph. He has drained the squad of fight, luckily some of them have ignored his poor management and the poor coaching that accompanies it but three or four players aren't going to be able to keep us up. James Ward-Prowse though, has taken it fully on board and may as well stay at home as he hasn't turned up once this season with a performance worthy of an England international. He is probably the most negative player in the squad and should be dropped immediately, along with Hasenhuttl. Che Adams couldn't hit a cows ar.e with a banjo.

AmericanSaint added 18:22 - Oct 29 Well that was just awful. RH missed the plot on the line up and Che should hang his head in shame. AGAIN, just shows how we didnt go get a proven striker has cost us. Only decent players today AMN and Peraud. Maybe Edozie if he had come on earlier. Tired of shaking my head and yelling at the TV. Also, Diallo should sit for a long time as he was horrendous.

GRIM added 18:35 - Oct 29 Watched it all. We were wretched it the 1st half. Diallo just kept giving the ball away. JWP was no better, he is so missing his protector Oriel Romeu. But as another post said we play with fear , Ralph looks as if he's going to cry even before the match starts. Lyanco is crazy but unlike a lot of our other players he's entertaining, it's like watching Carlton Palmer (anyone remember him). But to his credit Lyanco controlled himself well in 2nd half to avoid a sending off after getting an early booking. I like the look of Caleba Car (think he should be called Caleba calm because he never looks ruffled). Maitland Niles looked quality when he came on, when Lavia comes back AMN should start alongside him. That could be a very good partnership (sorry Prowsy but you just ain't cutting it this season.) As usual Che missed a couple of sitters but he's still our best striker (only). We looked so much better when we played on the front foot later in the game, plenty of possession but no end product.

silverspringsaint added 18:49 - Oct 29 Tossed away a good chance for a point at least. Lack of cutting edge and creativity, again. We need to be taking more risks and have JWP play further up. Only positive for me was that the defence is holding together even with injury absences of key figures. Bazunu is so impressive for such a young keeper - good future in store for us, or more likely someone else!

sidsaint added 23:48 - Oct 29 Awful first half. Improved in the second but missed so many chances. Palace not a good team but should have been home and dry by half time. At a loss to find a positive after this performance.

DPeps added 15:57 - Oct 30 Palace had their best midfielder out but yet we couldn't capitalise. Cannot score. The defence is so much better this season but if our attack can only muster one goal a game at best then we're relegated

KriSaint added 16:55 - Oct 30 0 points. Disappointing.... In the transfer window, Did we get: Goalkeeper upgrade?: Yes Central defenders upgrade?: Yes Full Backs upgrade?: Probably not, but we were ok anyway Holding midfielders upgrade?: Yes, probably, especially if Lavia is fit and plays No. 10s / wingers upgrade?: Yes Striker upgrade: NO, unfortunately NOT! Disappointed that Che could not finish better from those two huge chances?

Boris1977 added 18:09 - Oct 30 I see saints ladies won again today. Is that the only team at the club that Ralph doesn't have any input to 😅
