[Archived] Crystal Palace Preview

[Commondore]

Interesting lineup. I have my doubts over how effective old man Murphy will be in a two man central midfield, hoping to be proved wrong...

[Sverre]

[Al]

Apparently, Henning Berg is very active on the sideline. Gesticulating and giving orders to players.

Seem to remember Kidd doing that in his first match at Rovers. Hope that is not significant.

Sounding fairly ropey so far. Getting overrun

Yes he did. He wasn't supposed to be in charge for that match, but after a bit came down from the stands and started shouting at the players.

Just hit the cross bar.

[Blue n White Rover]

Etuhu header off the bar from Pedersen corner.

BBC gives us 51% posession.

BBC gives us 51% posession.

From the commentary, it seems as though we have the same old problems in midfield. Palace have been more threatening going forward.

They've had a few chances. We're not attacking at all. Had one corner and hit the crossbar from it.

[Ewoodbhappy]

Nice one. The K... Is dead!

Come on Henning do the stuff!

[Sverre]

adam henley has played suberbly

[Hekla]

Henley is a great talent, just shows how crazy Kean was not to play him.

[Tom]

Always worry about praising young defenders though

Look at the united lad on Wednesday played well for 92 minutes then drops a howler

[booth]

Damn... 1-0 down.

[Blue n White Rover]

Palace lead.

[Clitherover]

Palace goal.

Been coming by the sounds of things.

[yoda's brother]

1-0 palace

[booth]

I can imagine the players are going to get a verbal pasting at half time.

[DE.]

Berg has a massive job on his hands to get this collection of no hopers promoted. We've been a tragic joke so far.

[Lurid Coat]

Palace deservedly takes the lead, we've been absolutely atrocious today

[Amo]

BERG OUT.

[rovers1993]

pedersen, murphy and etuhu needs to get the Kean out. what the hell are they doing? they are premiership footballer getting PUMMELED by championship players!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!

[jonv]

Palace haven't lost a game in 12.

Having said that this is exactly what was always going to happen.

Now this is where Berg needs to start shaping the team to his own.

It will take time though. Time and patience.

This is why I felt we needed an experienced manager. The rebuild is huge.

I really hope Berg brings his own backroom team in.

[Hasta]

Do you think Simon Garner needs a scapegoat or a hate figure and he has to pick on someone as certain posters accuse people who critiscise Rovers players of doing - or do you think as a neutral he can see that MGP and CKR are poor ??
