A very solid performance all round, albeit that Palace never really put up much of a fight.
After Koeman largely overlooked them, it was great to see Puel having faith in the Academy lads - thought Hesketh in particular had a cracking game, and very pleased to see him bag his first goal for the club.
I was a bit concerned when I first saw the midfield and the lack of height and physicality right across the middle, but my fears were unfounded - they performed brilliantly as a unit.
Felt a bit for Long - his workrate is second to none and his pace terrorised the Palace defence at times, but he can't seem to buy a goal at the moment. I'm sure it'll come.
Sunderland next up - so glad it's down here and not another midweek trek oop north.

Hope it is Israel. Otherwise I am flying to the wrong place 
Enjoy the trip. Be aware that the passport you travel on will not be good in some countries after you go to Israel. And leave a lot of time for security checks... I mean hours!!I hope the lads that are flying in on the Thursday don't get held up too long.

Cracking win against West Ham today. Should have been more by all accounts but 3 goals without reply away from home is a brilliant result.
Absolutely!! Should have been maybe 1-6 or 2-6 realistically if we're talking about chances for both sides. Some great football to watch from us. Loving it!!Getting to the ground is a joke. Getting in is even worse !!
Had to exchange our tickets at the West Ham ticket office as the ones issued by the Saints would not operate the turnstile ! Pathetic. Missed the first ten minutes because of this.
As for the game. Yes West Ham were sh!te but we played very well and stopped them from playing. It should of really been 5 or 6 if we had our shooting boots on.
4 wins on the bounce and no goals conceded. Looking forward to Israel now.

....and, the club can only access the ground on match days!?
I wonder how much control they'll have over the quality of the pitch once the weather gets worse and the stadium is being used for other things.Legacywr said:
