Not very optimistic about the Palace game, we have trouble scoring against sides at the bottom of the league and Palace are a good side on a great run. However any team can win in this league so keeping my fingers crossed. I know all the arguments about keeping the Beto/ Barry combination but would like to see Moyes try something else, anything else actually. Hope that Grealish responds after being left out of the English squad by making the difference in a tight game.

Not sure any team can win the league Mike. Not in this day and age of financial restrictions favouring certain clubs.
We’ve a history of ending clubs on a run and we have a good record against Palace so I’m hoping that we get all three points tomorrow. Oh for a striker who could score! We could do with a Mateta type player like Palace have. Once we get some proper scouts in instead of using the 33rd Allerton troop, we would have a half decent side. Instead, we have Beto and Barry who are still working on their scoring badges amongst others.

Time to give someone else a go up front Mike can’t keep shipping points as we have been doing mate, still going for a win myself 1-2.

GB do you honestly think that if we change the striker but continue with the same tactics we’ll see the striker score goals?
Personally I don’t. Persevering with a loan striker who gets little service is pointless. Moyes subbing like for like and keeping tactics the same is also pointless.
Until we set up to give our strikers some service and support it doesn’t matter who the striker is.

GB going for a Palace win, that's a turn up.

We make plenty of chances and beto misses them all it's the player not tactics any hald decent striker would of scored most of the chances he's had, can't blame a manger that has little options.
04 Oct 2025 12:45:06
Sorry Bluepasty but if you actually look at the chances we create hardly any of them are for Beto.
Grealish has apparently created something like 17 chances but only 2 of them were for Beto and he scored 1.
Saying it’s Beto is nonsense, our strikers need service and chances being created for them and that’s not currently the case if you actually look at the stats closer.

Agree Bluepasty he absolutely useless.
04 Oct 2025 12:51:14
Still a win for us thought we were playing away hence the score, sorry to disappoint a couple of you lol.

Having watched the first half of the Leeds game, Dom would have been a 3rd striker in the squad that couldn’t hit a barn door.

Beto has had plenty of chances created for him, he just isn't good enough to convert them! To blame the tactics etc is a bit of a stretch mate, we can all see it's his inability that is hampering the team.

Of course bluepotato mate nonsense to say otherwise.
