Crystal Palace v Town match thread

Best thing about that result on Saturday is who we beat.
Palace might struggle this year.....and if we can keep beating those teams we should survive.
Need to get a win v Newcastle next week to really press home our advantage.

Also, for one of the first games in recent memory, we didn't look like we missed Hoggy. Danny Williams also put in a proper shift at right-back. Confident he can step in and take a few names if he's called upon.

Best thing about last Saturday.......everything.

Smooth journey down and back on the train.
Nice weather in London
Nice cold beers(a tad expensive) in London.
Decent Crystal Palace fans on the way to the ground
A result and performance that I'm not sure anyone was expecting.
Cracking atmosphere in the away end
18cans of beer to share out on the train back
Dean Hoyle texting his finance director to call my pal a prawn sandwich wanker!
A little sing song back in Boons Wakey
Watching MOTD back in the club

Football is back!

Zaha apparently, was "kicked from pillar to post" by Huddersfield on Saturday. As a result, despite completing the full 90 minutes, he's gonna be out with a knee injury for 4 weeks.
Now I wasn't there, but listening to Matt Glennon's comments during the match he was diving around all over the place. Maybe if he stayed upright more often he wouldn't get injured so much.

We certainly put in few meaty challenges but nothing malicious or dangerous. He started moaning after a while and Jon Moss told him to quit or get booked.

I was and I agree

We certainly put our foot in. I wouldn't say he was diving around though, just gesticulating a lot to the ref.

All 10 outfield players went down like a sack of sh coal everytime we made a challenge. Ref waved play on for at least 50% of similar challenges on our lads.

Was it when they lost Paul Cook? They were riding high with him, if I remember.
