palace match thread

[Woodcote Royal]

And plenty aren't moaning about 4-5-1.

However, from what I've seen of Glen Little, not to mention the dire form of Stephen Hunt, Henry's loan is looking pretty effing silly.

Henrys loan would only look silly if there was any intent to use him. If not then he is better served gaining experience & match fitness. Besides his loan extension has a 24hr recall clause after the initial 1 month loan spell, so he can now be recalled & would be up to match speed.

Either way, his loan is looking increasingly shortsighted.

Hunt is currently looking next to useless despite his undoubted effort to perform to the best of his ability, whilst Little looks a shadow of his former self......................so why are we loaning out Henry when everything he has done this season suggests he would have done a better job than either of these two when Kebe had to come off?

Some would even prefer Henry to Kebe.

At the very least, Henry should be gaining experience on our bench and working on his fitness in our training sessions.

Why the hell are both teams in away kits?

Only just got around to reading this thread, and I know it's got nothing to do with the various character assassinations that seem to be dominating as the moment, but I did have to smile when I saw this comment. cmonurz on the ball as normal - do you not bother watching any of the various Championship highlight programmes to keep an eye on what our opponents are doing? Have you not noticed that Palace have completely changed their home kit this season?

Have been watching it, but no, I hadn't noticed that. I forward through much of it.

My bad.

And that judgment is made on 90 minutes of football?

What's Henry done for us to make him such an answer? Only on the fringes at Brum away and totally anonymous against Cardiff.

How quickly people forget. As usual, the answer to our problems lies with whoever doesn't happen to be in the team at that moment in time.

I thought he'd played two full games? He certainly looked unfit to me, even by his standards.

60 mins and 90 mins respectively. And I personally thought he looked good. I would even say excellent for the first 30 mins. Clearly lacks fitness, and he's never had pace anyway.

As usual, some posters seem incapable of reading what others have written.

Just how many brain cells does it take not to read "Henry is the answer to all our problems" when those words are not on your screen?

Little is a long way short of what he was 3 seasons ago and a lot less than 90 minutes viewing is required for this to become painfully obvious.

He's also been instrumental in Rosenior's form taking a nose dive......................as bad as Hunt was at Palace, I was praying that Little would not come on instead. If Rosenior couldn't cope with a very quick winger, Little would have given him no help whatsover.

How quickly people forget.

Spot on. Just because Henry's first team performances were a few months back it is quite staggering that some can't see that what we're currently getting from Hunt, and to lesser extent, Little, is not as good as what young Henry produced on a nunber of occasions and some would say Hunt hasn't had a decent game since November.

Meanwhile, Henry plays to rave reviews elsewhere.

....and some would say Hunt hasn't had a decent game since November.

would that be November 2006 or November 2007?
