Tonights stats 48% possession. 16 shots to their 8, 5 on target to their 2. Its so much better.
This ^^
We are progressing nicely step by step.
We have gone from relegation certs to being an established PL team.
I am happy with the way things are going and where we are heading.

Bit early to call this, sniff. We are definitely playing better football and have definitely got a much stronger squad..... but we're not anywhere clear of the bottom three, not picking up enough points yet. Hopefully that comes, but we can't be complacent.

Fair enough.
Perhaps I should have said that we have gone from relegation certs to starting to look like an established PL team.

I'm completely optimistic too..... but we really need some points on the board. Don't want to be 'too good to go down'. I don't think it'll happen though.

Why are Palace allowed to get the treatment of, but it was their reserves. When we were missing Taiwo, Danilo, Felipe, Aina and then Aurier went off injured.
Our main goal threat, one of the main goal threats from last year and then our best three defenders all injured.

I think that if Danilo was fit yesterday and he came on for Sangare instead of Yates then we would have won that game.

Every time I watch Murillo with his roll over on the ball, running at pace, with the ball moving at pace, to go round the defender I giggle.
Is this happening to anyone else?

We have really messed up not getting a 2nd striker for when Tiawo is injured . We are in desperate need for a CF who can play down the Left with size and pace

I know I’m pissing in the wind here but Wood barely put a foot wrong.
With the right service he will get goals for us.

Wood did what he does. For him to score we need more box balls - crosses and high pressure bodies in the box. Ironically the last 10minutes would have suited him more than origi.
