Dire home form- the solution

Wiggins_whiskers

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....

Oakster

or turn up for Saturday week's game at The Reebok

If you don't win you won't get paid simples ;-)

Must of missed that?!
What an incredible thing for a manager to say.

The soloution;
Give the League one Champions XI a run out!

dickplumb

Go in the away dressing room and the away dug out.

Red_Raver

Put all us home fans in the Jimmy Seed.

ValleyGary

stay and train in Bolton the week before then sleep in The Marriot Bexleyheath on the friday night before.

Jarman

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

Brendan_O_Connell

Re-lay the pitch !!

alan dugdale

I understand they stayed in a hotel at brands hatch last Friday night.

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.

We were not able to win there either!!!

How about vicarage road?

BIG_ROB

Offer to play the rest of this seasons home games, away!

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

Red Army! Red Army!

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.

Davo55

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.

Our win over Cardiff was actually quite like this!

Just kick chris eagles early doors and then pass the ball to Harriott!!
