Could have won by 2 or 3, too.

Appreciate they're a stronger side, but we're not THAT far off that you couldn't envisage us having won that if, for example, Pukki put that second one away.

      - Palace were the stronger team overall, no doubt (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Feb 9, 21:57:18
        
        What? They missed a penalty and Gunn made two great saves that were headed in. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Feb 9, 21:59:38
        
        In open play I would argue that Pukki's second chance was the best unscored chance... (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Feb 9, 22:06:24
  - Not really established just one who will pay better wages (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 21:52:34
    - When were they last relegated? (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Feb 9, 21:53:27
      - They've been in the prem since 2013 ... (NCFC) - paulg, Feb 9, 21:57:25
        
        Yep. Definition of an established side. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Feb 9, 22:00:27
        
        My point was it’s not they are established that means they have the squad they have (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 22:02:07
        
        Surely it's exactly why? (NCFC) - paulg, Feb 9, 22:08:08
        
        They got rid of half their squad. It’s wages. They pay better wages. (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 22:14:21
        
        Of course it is - they're richer (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Feb 9, 22:20:01
        
        the problem isn’t that we are up against established sides (NCFC) - CWC, Feb 9, 22:10:59
  - They recruited really well (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Feb 9, 21:51:23
