Dire home form- the solution

CP says he has tried everything. As far as I am concerned there is only one thing for it. Send them out in their away kit!!! Black shirts, shorts and socks v Bolton- let's see what happens....

    Lock all the home fans in, so Bolton can pile out at full-time.

    We clearly can't win at the Valley. Surely the only sensible solution is to play all of our home games at Selhurst Park.

    I'll get my coat...

    Ahh, psycology at work! But it'd have to be a one-off. Football League Rule 38.1 permits the wearing of away strip at home matches only once per season. Otherwise you are stuck with the home kit I'm afraid.

    Brandshatch Place I suppose. I have terrible memories of doing (failing) an assessment centre there.

    Don't know about the All Black kit, I reckon the All Red kit would break the spell

    Leave a trail of pies down the M1 from Nottingham and wait for Andy "Fat Boy" Reid to return to the Valley.

    Not such a bad idea. Haven't we won a few on the road in all red this season? Wouldn't mind seeing us ditch the white shorts. Pretty sure we were all in red when I first started supporting them in the late 60s.

    I'd be happy with that!

    Think SCP wanted to make sure they ate correctly and slep correctly as it was an early kick-off.

    Don't think so V I thought we had always been red shirts white shorts for league games at the Valley, apart from the all white kit with red shoulder flashes early / mid 60's. All red ok as a one off at home I suppose but the 'We're the Red & White Army' song would have to be abandoned :-D

    As long as it's not the dried up roadkill they sell at the valley. They couldn't even tempt rats...............................

    Logically, if CP has run out of ideas, give someone else a chance to pick the team for Bolton and dictate the tactics. Ideally play to win rather than play not to lose.

    Attack, Attack, Attack Attack Attack!

    CP in a curly wig a la Kevin Keegan, going for the "you score 4 and we'll score 5" tactics. We might still lose but by christ we might actually enjoy the game a bit more.

    I'll give the pre-match team talk, but it may resort to violence.
