Organised, passionate and playing for each other at this point. Players trust the manager and seeing real development and belief in players to how he is working with each of them to improve them. Handling of Alfie Lloyd is good example. Peripheral player over past year or so now being given the opportunity and support to play each week. His physicality and skill levels have improved and is now a definite part of the squad. JS is developing the talent we have and squad has been added to well.
No-one looks to us as easy points, real steel and presence in the squad and no fear of the opposition. Few points short perhaps (lot of worldy saves by opposition keepers) but given erosion of key roles through injury especially up front, we are doing really well. Momentum is everything over next month.
Feels a bit like Dunne in his approach when he was playing as out an out right back. Not the fastest but by God he doesn't stop trying and has a decent cross and bits of skill you don't expect. He is going to be a good signing for us.
all a bit bizarre Really only makes sense if we have a serious bite on selling one of our other strikers/wingers. Just wonder is there is any serious interest in Kone for example?
Implied belief that the seasons course and overall outcome has been largely decided by first game of the season.
Bizarre unexpected injury to one of our players (probably involving seagull insertion or something similar)
Early identification of candidate for seasons "boo boy" candidate for whom every game will be an unending litany of disaster according to a very small but vociferous group of posters.
Just looking at us at 50-1 with Paddy Power.... Given pre-season we have had, improved conditioning and relative weakness of the league this year, that looks a very generous price. Whisper it, but I think we might be quite useful this season.
Appreciate he has previously been quite prolific and has a bit about him. However, 28 year old striker with poor injury record and barely played last season. Not sure that really fits the model.
Given the source is not exactly a good one (and ignores the other strikers we currently have on the books) I think best to mark this one as speculative at best. Looks more like an agent pushing something to get his now unemployed client a new contract.
I remember the agony that I had before I have my gall bladder removed over 10 years ago. Never felt anything like before or since. Turned out to be 2.5cm gall stone and infected gall bladder that was contracting on it constantly.
I'll be honest and say it was only time I had bad experience with the NHS as I was referred to a consultant who didn't feel to be taking it seriously and was initially quite dismissive. I was lucky that I spoke to a member of nursing staff whilst having bloods done, she immediately said that her hubby had what sounded like identical symptoms and it was gall stones. Consultant decided that whatever I had, it probably wasnt gallstones and not serious, reluctantly he send me for a scan at my insistence. That showed the gallstone, but they weren't in a rush to see me to do anything about it. I decided enough was enough and used my BUPA for first time ever in 30 odd years (very much a backup), saw a consultant two days later, rescanned and consultant wanted to operate pretty much immediately when he saw the results as it was likely to go bad very quickly at this point.
Long story short all done within the week, key hole surgery gall bladder ad stone removed (gall bladder was septic, but fortunately not cancerous). Sore and tired for a week or so, but few small stiches healed up quickly and, touch wood, no real problems since. I do now watch my diet far more than I did, avoiding tomatoes, really spicey food and fatty/deep fried stuff as I know it will feel uncomfortable and keep away from sugary carbonated drinks, tend to find that a bit acidy. None of those things have been particularly difficult, so feel I have been very lucky. But my takeaway is that if you dont feel well and your not happy with what you are being told, do question it.
I am pleased for Palace, if nothing else for showing up the blue scum who spent many multiples of what Palace did, went through more managers and won feck all without qualifying for Europe.
Also think they did us a fair deal on the Eze transfer and developed him well. So nod to them for that too.
Otherwise hate them on principle as used to live near the ground in the 1980's and was a crap place
