Here we go again, will we be happy come 16:45 or will we be upset and angry, the latter we seem to be doing more of, its so much easier writing about winning than it is about losing, but now I’m starting to forget what its like to win.
Still like most of you I will be 100% behind Palace today, and fingers crossed we will win, a team is due to get hammered by us, so why not today?.
Vital Quotes:
Peter Taylor said: ‘If we don’t get a result, I know that the
position we’ll be in will not be good enough. Even if we do win, I
know that won’t be good enough either because two wins so far this
season is not what I wanted.
‘It’s a results business and I know that. It doesn’t matter how you
are performing, if you’re not getting results you will be under
pressure.
‘People have asked me if it’s even more important as tomorrow’s game
is against Hull but it doesn’t matter who it’s against, we need to
win.
‘Crystal Palace are expected to be higher up the table and the fact
we’re not means we’re under pressure.
‘But I’m confident we’ve got the players with the experience to stick
together and handle the pressure.’
