Dear ALS In the great debate over whether a glass is half full or half empty, to quote Toby Ziegler from the great drama ‘The West Wing’, at least we can agree the glass is certainly not full. Whilst I welcomed with open arms (and mouth) the three points on Monday night, we could quite easily have lost and when Palace equalised I bet I wasn’t the only only dreading another bout of deja vu. I don’t think we played well at all. I thought Buckley looked out of his depth even against average opposition and still has Championship player written all over him (on a good night). Wickham looks like he’s sulking at not being played through the middle and didn’t seem to want to make much effort. Everyone could see that and they must have been virtually everyone’s nominations to be subbed. I just wonder why it took Poyet so long to do it. At one point the TV cameras panned to GP and he shrugged as though he had no idea what to do. About 3 seconds later, over his shoulder, Taricco did the same. I know it all came good in the end but it could easily have been all so different. If they had got the justified penalty in the first minute I don’t think we would have recovered. If Poyet wants us to do well/perform better he needs to make sure that the extra two players who sometimes make up the 5 in the middle actually contribute something (like passing a ball to a team mate) otherwise we’ll always struggle. Let’s home some of those players currently missing through injury are back soon. GDB
