Crystal Palace FC Thread + Championship Chat

Season over about right for Leeds, but little gutted my 50/1 on charlton will just run short, also 40/1 on Millwall going down, just a game or two short

It's a bit of a stretch, but I've just spent 15 minutes trying to come up with my sickest final' table possible, and I can get them into the playoffs.

It's quite therapeutic, so can anyone come up with anything better?

I think we had only 6 of the same players from Tuesday's game. The standard was woeful compared to what we are used to at Selhurst and Zaha was a little offcue and so was a lot of our players generally.

Leicester played some neat 1-2 football and deserved the draw, but only because we were up twice in the game and the second goal was a mistake, I think we should have won it.

Palace look spinless atm, on paper it may look like a decent result after Tuesday, but I think we were fortunate to come up against another out of form side.

Have to only hope Jedinak and Williams come back to save the day for us, and if someone could give Bolasie some shooting boots I would be appreciative!

Just watched the highlights of the Bolton, Forest, Brighton and Watford games and the latter two especially, looks like they would have an absolute field day in among our defense if we play them in the playoffs.

We have to rely on that cohesion happening for us up top. Murray is out of form. So Holloway played two up front instead. Great move as it geared us up differently and gave us a fresh go at things. However, we are papering over cracks here. We had Wilbraham and Murray up front for the slowest two attackers ever to be partnered up, so we couldn't break properly. However, we could punt the ball to Wilbraham to knock back down to a midfielder and off we would go and the pressure was being eased time and time again.

I think I would like to see us play two up front, but have Dobbie playing off of Wilbraham, benching Murray as his form is costing us, much better off having another player on the pitch instead of him atm. It would mean we would have a guy great at winning long balls, and a really dangerous operator in and around him in Dobbie as was seen by his finish yesterday.

Stopping myself from writing more. But I would hope Holloway shows some bollocks and drops Murray and plays Dobbie up there, (or Phillips in fact!) with Wilbraham. We have waited 6 games now to get Murray back on track but I think a dropping is what might put some life back into him and get him back to his old ways.

What a day. The performance today was incredible, good luck to anyone who comes across us in the playoffs...

Very very nervy performance from us yesterday, but our crowd really aren't helping, constantly moaning about players going backwards.  Some of them need to take a long look at our season and how we have massively over achieved from where we expected to be.

Probably need 1 win from our last 3 games, would love it to come next Saturday to save the pressure situation, but will take going into the last game knowing a win guarentees us a play-off spot. Happy as long as it is in our own hands.

Given how poor our form is of late it wouldn't actually disappoint me too much if we did lose in the play-offs. Just as long as it is not to Brighton

i can get over 2/1 at a bookies so better then the odds already  there would be a start.

Really glad Watford are playing Friday night (albeit a hard game at Leicester).  If we manage to win Hull will be very nervous at Barnsley the following day having had it in the bag a week ago.  If they draw with Barnsley a draw with Cardiff would not be enough if Watford beat Leeds at home.

it was horrible viewing, going on about how much Millwall had done in the community and how their fans are in general fantastic. Ohh please.

[Chompy]

It's a great show in general, never miss it.
