Yes if a player is late then it's clearly the player’s fault. I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. It's easy to keep it in house though. It's the manager's judgement whether he does or not. All Bartley has to say is that he picked the team best suited to the game. If he chooses to criticise players publicly, then fine but it is a choice. He's publicly criticised players for a number of reasons. Again that's his choice and let's be honest some of it was embarrassing (PlayStationgate). His post match interviews, to me certainly, reek of a guy trying to justify his continued employment and I can't recall a single instance where he has acknowledged that he might have got things wrong. Like many I was pleased and hopeful when he was appointed. I really wanted him to do well. Sadly thus far it's been dreadful and there's little or nothing to suggest that can change.

Agreed. I get it would be frustrating for the manager but deal with it without telling tales to mummy (Sandra).

I just clicked on a link in the email I received Updated password and then went to my account. You can then click on friends and family under the community tab. You need to put in friend/family membership number and surname. It will then update and they will appear under friends/family.

Whole thing including re-adding friends worked without issue for me this evening.

Indeed. Birdied 3 of the last 5 holes. Holed from near 40 feet for a 2 on the par three 17th and then up and down from a greenside bunker for a birdie 4 on 18th. Keeps him in with a chance of making the cut. Out at 8.05pm UK time tomorrow.

He did pretty well when he took over at Palace last season. 5 wins, 3 draws and only 2 defeats in his 10 games in charge. They'd had a 13 match run with no wins just before he took over and there was a real threat of relegation. They finished 11th. Very poor this season though.

A really poor game tonight. Cracking goal by Ayew though. That’s a massive chance missed by Everton. Palace on a dreadful run and missing their 2 best players in Eze and Olise plus another 2 key players in Guehi and Doucoure. Saw a couple of comments re the in studio analysis. Have to say I enjoyed Jesse Marsch's input post match.

Marking someone in a bright yellow jersey probably not in the game plan. Can't have the players going off script

Superb by Matsuyama. Cantlay is utterly tedious. Dreadful pace of play and as dull as dishwater.

Can’t agree with that for the goal we lost at the death. If Edinburgh don’t score from that corner they lose. They’d have put everyone up for it even if we left a player or two up front. Indeed had that happened and we’d kept a player or two up front Bartley would be getting pelters for allowing us to be outnumbered at a last gasp set piece.

Yes I think he's a really good addition.

Ball kicked out the park and/or aimlessly punted forward plenty of times too.

Millions spent and no replacement left back so a half fit Shaw had to play again. Also what a petulant arsehole Marcus Rashford is.

Agreed. The young lad Breeze did well but both Lewis and Holy have lost some really poor goals.

Aye, just watched the highlights. The 2nd goal is awful. Have to say the new goalie doesn't inspire confidence. The young lad Breeze did fine when he played and is a bit unlucky to be left out. Looking at the highlights I thought Carlisle had a shout for a penalty at 0-0. Awful result again though.

Yes like many others I'm weary of hearing this nonsense that we perform better against the better teams. We have 17 points from 8 games against the 3 teams below us in the league (2.13 points per game). We have 12 points from 17 games against the 6 teams above us in the league. (0.7 points per game). When you look at our record against the top 2 it's 1 point from 6 games. Now none of this should be a surprise to anyone. We get more points from matches against the poorer teams and fewer points against the better sides. No shit sherlock. Sandra and Marvin need to change the record on this one. It's bullshit.

Yep desperate times. Hard to see the attendance being much above that. Puts a new slant on the notion that we can’t afford to sack Bartley. Those who stay away next week because we’re shite/the rugby’s on tv/the QOS game is on tv aren’t likely to be tempted back anytime soon. What an absolute mess we are in.

Aye it sounds like today was dismal. Simpson has loads of goodwill in the bank at Carlisle United. Local guy, 3 previous promotions including most recently keeping them in league 2 when they looked doomed before leading them to promotion last season. Whether that’s enough for him to keep his job remains to be seen but I’d still be minded to stick with him.

Thought Pep's body language was a bit negative when Haaland was missing those chances.

Well done the goalie but that sums us up in so many ways.

Can't afford to sack him. Can't afford not to sack him. What a mess.

Hard to disagree with this post TBF.

Indeed. I'd imagine very few of our fan base will begrudge you that. We are shite so you were always in with a chance today.

Yep for what seems like far too long now I've just treated events like today with a mixture of indifference and resignation.
