they were nervy last night, again many misplaced passes, palace didnt look nervous.

I'm baffled by playing young at wide right, he is experienced granted but Harrison was available and Dobbin to give us more dynamism going forward. Godfrey did OK behind.

Pickfords distribution has gone to pot, lord knows what has happened there.

DCL looked better with Doucoure alongside him, Doucs didnt look properly fit.

Give us our points back and the nerves should go and we should start converting some of these chances again.

Dirge that. I said on here many years ago DLC wasn’t the answer. 5 goals in 38 games. If I played 38 games I’m confident I could get at least 5.

Gross from Everton that, against 10 men as well.

Win would have been nice, get that monkey off our back. Can't say we really deserved it and the style is horrible but we are where we are.

Almost off topic at the moment due to lack of other options (currently) - but are we having "Dyche ball" at Bramley Dock??

Well let's hope bramley is where we are playing premier league football.
We played well to get the 10points back .but the second charge has knocked the teams confidence, but we are just grinding out the draws at present, we are a better team than the Way we are playing at the moment, in my opinion.

Agreed, before kick off I'd have happily taken a point. Almost feels like a loss now.

We really shouldn't be sitting back against 10 men, we should be pushing to kill the game off

News in from points deduction, reduced from 10 to 6 points.

Takes us from 17 to 15.

5 clear of the drop...I'd prefer exoneration which would kill the second charge stone dead. As it is, there's a very real chance we get another 6, which leaves us worse off. Silver lining is Forest won't get fewer than us on this years FFP, and could well get more (which I disagree with, but we are where we are). Or they go with "breach = 6 pts" and we both get the same

I'm pleased we've got 4 points back, but I do wonder what we'll get for round 2 of the financial rules breach roulette wheel. At least if we get the same points deduction as Forest we'll still be ahead of them (depending on results of course)

They won't allow a points deduction to take you down, it would open up a whole new can of worms. If you survive by 10+ points, the deduction will be 10 points, if you survive by 7-9 points, it'll stay at 6.

It'll be Sheff Utd, Burnley, Luton.

Given they pleaded guilty exoneration was never going to happen. Breach number 2 might not be so kind

Well we've already been punished for the first two years. And showed a positive FFP balance for the third year. Case dismissed yer honour judge

Anyone know if the methodology for us getting the 6 points has been published? It can't be "finger in the air".

Presumably the first commission royally fked up by issuing 10pts, as to my knowledge we didn't present new evidence - Just repeated them with a more expensive lawyer smile

Btw, my "Exoneration" would have been them accepting the overspend was on the stadium and not on the playing squad and all 10 Pts cancelled

Rumours that Hal Steinbrenner, owner of the NY Yankees and a share holder at AC Milan has been round Bramley Moore Dock.

He'd be a much better buyer than the potless 777 mob. God knows how they haven't failed the fit and proper person test yet banghead
