Stoke Palace

We all saw these games as a possible 6 points, maybe 4, 2 points worst case scenario. As it is we were shite and were lucky to the 1 point that we did. Stoke have just done Chelsea, are well organised and make playing against them difficult, so in hindsight, despite our rubbish performance a point is a good result. Palace, I watched the West Ham game and they fought for every second ball, they were pretty good, had a lucky shout with the West Ham 'goal' but deserved the win. I knew a performance against palace like the one against stoke would'nt bring a result. And I was right. We were terrible, but palace beat us in every department, maybe we were wrong to assume these games as a possible 4 or 6 points.

Same as people thinking we will beat them at home? Not going to happen in all the games. So every point now is invaluable but got to set out to try beat teams as well, not just prey we draw all the time!

It's ok - we will beat them at home! (So they say)
