I have to admit

Man of the match for me, though he was Palaces best player, just ahead of Mellis.

 

Thought he did Ok added a bit of strength against their big lads,and got better as the game went on....I think there's something there for Keith to work on.

 

Don't rate the lad. He looks like a player who isn't suited to any particular position but just about does enough to forge a career. More of an athlete than a footballer, he's strong, quick enough but appears devoid of energy or spark. Happy to receive the ball and give it straight back. Flashes of skill and pace towards the end but for the most part looked only half interested an unable to cause Palace problems. Hope he improves because one would imagine he possesses decent ability to have been at Man City.

 

Wasn't too impressed with him, although he had a lively last 10 minutes. Prepared to give Hillcroft time to work on him.

My biggest disappointment last night was Harewood. I thought he wasn't very effective at all, and we badly missed Davies. Centre forward's going to be a problem until Davies or Mido are back, as Harewood doesn't look the anwser to me.
