Draw With Blackpool Leaves Us With a Mountain To Climb

Neil Warnock, , , , ,

Call it a personal thing, but when we don’t beat the team which was promoted through the play-offs I tend to think we’re underachieving. And despite what Neil Warnock claimed were two certain penalties we were denied a victory against last year’s league one play-off winners, Blackpool.

Today also saw the debuts of loan signings Scott Sinclair (from Chelsea – he was also booked for a supposed dive which Warnock disputed), Kyel Reid (West Ham) and Nathan Ashton (Fulham – he was substituted at half-time after taking a knock in the first half).

Unfortunately we now only have five games left, and three of those are away against teams in the top six. These games are at Hull (April 26th), Watford (19th) and Stoke City (next Monday night, live on Sky). It isn’t the run-in you want when you need points to break into the top-six.

Warnock’s Debut Ends In a Draw

Neil Warnock, ,

Neil Warnock’s first game for Palace ended yesterday in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. Palace’s took the lead through Tom Soares, who later saw red for an alleged stamp.

After the game Warnock was quoted as saying, “”I want our players to enjoy coming to work. We’ll win some and lose some but I just want everyone to enjoy it.” If we start winning a few more then I suspect we will all start to enjoy it a lot more.
