Day 25 - Palace teams report (2/2).
Palace Casuals were at home against 9th in the League, and packing a 3.0Q advantage, but the game thoiught otherwise and goals from Maarten Weigman and Massimiliano Gerini weren't enough to stop the home side crashing to a 2-3 defeat.
Having lost to their Champions League opponents in the 1st Leg of the Semi-Final, Palace Terriers were on a mission to score three goals, but a combination of hard-defence orders by the opposition (who didn't bother to turn up) and the Nordeus machine, again, thwarted their ambitions. Out at the Semi-Final of the CL, again, 0-2 on aggregate.
Not much hope in the Cup Final - perhaps the Management should set up a defensive formation, hard-defending with counter and not attend - that seems to be the recipe for a win against higher Quality opponents nowadays. So much for the skill element...
