Poor all over. Subs should've been made much sooner as it clearly wasn't working.
Such a shame to watch a potentially great season just peter out.
Looking forward to next season already.

Thought we were alright, Palace were threatening and a 2-2 draw would've been fair. Thoroughly entertaining game!

Thought we played well and were unlucky.
Also thought the only sub we could make blunted us.
Opinions eh?

Subs a non issue for me. We had nobody to bring on.

Just didn't have the subs available did we. Arnie should have been replaced but with who? The Crouch/Walters swap was correct IMO

I can only assume your original post is out of frustration WD as it really is horseshit
We played well today
The ref got the big decisions wrong and cost us
We had no one on the bench to speak of to change the game other than Walters
My only criticism would be why take off Crouch to then put Shawcross up front

Poor all over? Horeshit. I'd say the CB's and CF's where the only ones who could be argued to have been poor... If anything that was Adam's contention for best stoke performance, Ireland was creative and unlucky. Arnie was tracking back more than diouf and Cameron and Pieters did well stopping their counters and crosses... Played well but switched off at times when it counted and were punished.

Thought we played well. Their keeper pulled off a couple of great saves second half to keep them in it, whilst 2 first half mistakes cost us 2 goals.

you can't blame the team for a poor referee giving us nothing, poor finishing is what cost us not the performance

Injuries showed today how they have affected us, nothing on the bench bar Walters. Shame that Shenton wasn't on it? Didn't need 3 defenders on there?

I agree that it was poor! There was a lack of quality on show today and we really need to start taking chances, we don't score enough goals IMO

We were lacking today. So are you saying nobody's ever been unlucky, ever? We had several key attacking players out or unfit, we dominated the game and we just couldn't find a way through. Not blaming anybody but I don't think on balance we deserved to lose. What changes should've been made. We looked less dangerous when Crouch went off and we had literally no other attacking options on the bench?

'ok' first half, absolute shower of piss second half, probably worse than Villa at hom. Shawcross has been all over the place since coming back, Cameron needs to fuck off- provides nothing.
This is what happens when you don't back your manager with subsequent funds and you build a squad with free transfers.

I agree we didn't deserve to lose the game but injuries have killed us. I said before the game I would take a point and my fears were borne out. For me with our injuries 8th is pie in the sky. Coates needs to make significant funds available in The Summer.

Injuries have been an issue and we've seen in the last 2-3 games the folly of not recruiting a winger in Jan.

We played well but were deflated by two poor penalty decisions together with bad refereeing in general. Also their goalkeeper hadca brilliant game.
Not going to knock the team on that performance, huge improvement on last week

I'd have taken Ireland off a lot sooner mate and got Jon on. I'm just a bit disappointed we didn't go at them second half.

SJW should have replaced Arnie not Crouchy Crouch was a passenger all game, when he did have it he was wasteful. It was the right sub, but it came 15-20 mins later than it should have. He was the only disappointment in the attack, the rest were very good today.

Blimey Tom, just can't agree with that. We controlled the game for close on 70 minutes and never stopped trying. It didn't drop for us today and we did get shafted by a couple of very debatable decisions. Disappointing to lose but I thought we were genuinely unlucky today. Opinions eh!
