Nothing dumb about you buddie, you’ve got us weighed up already

Welcome

Mate - Wardy been a great servant - but now way past his sell by date..!!

He deservedly got named club Captain - for all he has given - but a starter at this time/in this team - no way..!!

Desperately need an upgrade - and arguably have done ever since AWB left..!!

For me Ward is more than acceptable to be right back, after Ayew i think he has been one of our better players, if Franca is going to play CF we need a winger, and if he is playing wide we need a CF, even Adams or Iheanecho is an upgrade. and why so far are we not using the loan system?

Absolutely agree including on him being a great servant.

He’s not only done his footballing duty but he feels very much part of the Palace community now. Can’t think of any aspersion to cast on his character whatsoever.

All that said, I’ve been nervous watching him play for a number of years now. I still think he is capable of doing a job on occasions but fair enough if others don’t agree. A few comments here suggest some weren’t at the game or seen it in its entirety at all. He was left chasing shadows on several occasions, arguably at fault for the goal, twice put them in unnecessarily at 1-1 and still looks very nervous whenever he’s on the ball. I think that’s not far off an objective commentary on his game today although I’ve not praised anything he might have done well, which in any instance would fall within the bracket of ‘the very least I expect from a player’. From the stands, what can be seen as his uncomfortability out there is sometimes palpable.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Mitchell is probably getting exposed more now Zaha is not here. Teams would often double up on him, leaving Mitchell with less pressure.

A fair result although on another day we could have nicked it.

A solid performance from the team but oh boy we lack up front. Thank goodness Andersen showed up today, his determination got us that goal a pity some of our other attackers don't show the same appetite (Apart from Ayew.

Our 2 strikers need to work harder but at their age I doubt they will change their game.
