Obiang gives his form answer
The midfielder looks a certain starter this evening at Palace says: “The season is very long, we know that, and I would use the word ‘tough’ to describe it so far, but we have a good team and the club has taken massive steps forward with the new stadium and training ground.
“I don’t think everyone has got used to it just yet, from the fans to the players to the club as a whole, but we’re working out the way to get results and move forward.”
Obiang reckons though that fortune rather than a change of venue has played a bigger part in the team’s results saying: “I think we’ve been unlucky with the results we’ve had so far.
“Last season, we were playing at a stadium with a lot of history and the fans and the players were united, and the new players all settled in, but now we’ve got the task of writing a new history for the club in this new Stadium.
“We need to make our own luck, which is what we did last year. We need to do the same things we did and if we can get a couple of wins then that will help our confidence and us to move up the table.”
“Not all stories have a happy beginning, so we’ve got to make sure this season has a happy ending, like a fairytale!”
