For those moaning about lack of goals

17/18 season

Crystal Palace first 7 games 0 goals - Survived

Brighton first 3 games 0 goals - Survived

Few other teams didn't score in the first couple of weeks.
Yes these are games we should be looking to win but away from home and a clean sheet isn't bad.
The goals will come so no need to go into panic mode.

We will score 2 against arsenal imo.

2 clean sheets from our first three games. I’d rather that, and two points, than have scored in all three and lost each of them. We are giving the boys confidence with these clean sheets, and now just need to add goals.

And probably 3 Vs man city! Chill out lads.

Huddersfield 103 shots in last 8 home games grand total of 1 goal.

Same amount of shots Vs us as Man city. And less than Vs Chelsea.

5 for them today. 19 Vs arsenal last day of the season. They're not pushovers at home! Good point today!

Really wouldn't surprise me if we beat Arsenal. its frustrating that we haven't scored yet, but its only been 3 games. We haven't conceded in the last 2 games.

Any point away is a good point, yes was made easier by their 10 men but as we know playing 10 men is not that easy and its not unusual for a team to win with 10 men.

Allan, we're on the same page. Gonna enjoy a beer now and celebrate another point!

(36ish to go)

Points on the table is a bonus but does anyone think that when we start playing the better teams they will drag us along so we have to play better?

Yes pizza and couple beers with a good film to chill with and look forward to arsenal !

Didn’t Crystal Palace sack Warnock and appoint Pullis after their dreadful start to the season?

We they will certainly be different game from today's and Newcastle also players be more in tune with speed of premiership which at moment we seem to be a split second slower doing things

Main thing is that the defence isn't leaking - that's the most important thing. After that , the midfield is good . We can work on scoring goals , but they're the least important of these three aspects in our position. I know we all like seeing goals and I'm sure that we will in due course ,but as long as we're getting the basics right we can hold -

if we were scoring spectacular goals but letting loads in that'd attract the plaudits of stupid "experts " on tv, but it'd be the road to ruin.

I don't like this viewpoint that we are in some kind of reverse booby- competition with certain other Clubs for relagation , but it remains the fact that Huddersfield are a club who might find the going hard this season and in that sense let's not forget that denying them 2 points at home this afternoon could well prove helpful to us later on.

Anyone who's expecting us to take the Premiership by storm is likely to be dissapointed , but so are those who predict disaster.
We are solid and we are learning all the time, and that suggests to me that we will gradually settle in to a mid table position.

Chris Sutton was a fantastic player - one of my favourites actually, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's got an I.Q much above room temperature or a particularly analytical mind - I know many ex soldiers who were masters of their trade, but I wouldn't necessarily expect them to organise the battle of Waterloo. (Which is a very aposite comparison since Wellington's army were strong favourites to be sent home early by the French and should have been on paper, except that they had a chap in charge who knew how to go very carefully, get the basics right and choose his moment correctly ).

Didn’t Crystal Palace sack Warnock and appoint Pullis after their dreadful start to the season?

Nope.

Infact it was the other way around. Warnock replaced Pulis. It was Ian Holloway who had the dreadful start at Palace to be replaced by Pullis. At the time we should have gone for Pulis but we didn't have a clue in those days hence why we chose OGS.

God that was painful to post.

Didn’t Crystal Palace sack Warnock and appoint Pullis after their dreadful start to the season?

If I remember right Pullis was still at Stoke.

Today was a good point (as will any away point be) but once Huddersfield were down to 10 it was an opportunity wasted, just like the Newcastle match. We never looked like scoring.

Sorry I think ive got wrong era

17/18 season

Crystal Palace first 7 games 0 goals - Survived

Brighton first 3 games 0 goals - Survived .

But you'll always find exceptions to the rule. If you don't score, then you don't win, and eventually you'll more than likely be relegated.

I'd be happy to think things will change if we were actually creating chances - but we're not.

the OP is talking about last season 17/18

It's no time to panic but realistically we'have three tough games ahead where we might to acquire even one point ..We could be sitting at the foot of the table with just one point by the end of September ... It's been on the cards fir a while now that we need a proven premiership striker

The games against the so called top 6, is not going to decide our season, they are going to be bonus games.
It's the games against the other 13,that will define where we end up.
We are going to score and we are going to win , it's way too early to panic and look for scapegoats to blame.
Nobody expects us to take anything from our next 3 games, but everyone as to play everyone twice .
So enjoy the ride and support the team.

Got a feeling we are going to beat arsenal not worried by our lack of goals They will come

We've already got 2 points and we haven't played the games yet so let's wait and see, as for proven striker? Cost 20m+ but all that gives you is experience and around 10 goals a season ! The strikers we could buy even at that price don't guarantee goals unfortunately

Fulham up and running with a dominating performance. We are nowhere near their quality yet they are still 3rd or 4th favourite to get relegated.

jumping the gun there..
Fulham have 1 point more than ourselves and got those 3 points against a team in awful form..

Not sure how it's jumping the gun. Do you honestly think that we have the same or more quality than they do?
They have a win and scored 5 goals. They've played Spurs, Palace and Burnley - a much tougher start than the teams we've faced.

Disagree and let’s see who’s right after 10 games and beyond. Don’t forget Fulham had an incredible second half of last season -yes we beat them to second place but they were clearly better than us once they had sorted themselves out (including giving us a lesson at home). Their football suggests they were already more suited to the PL than us and they have spent big. Like it or not in general the league table follows the wage bill.
