I agree. There was another time where I think it was Andersen who clearly fouled to avoid a WH break, and not only did he not get a yellow, the ref didn't even call a foul. He tended to call everything, which helped us a lot. The 5 minutes in the first half was excessive, as was the 9 minutes at the end. The pen was really cheap, though. I would have been livid if that went against us. It makes up for some of the sh-t decisions that have gone against us.

For exactly that reason I believe there is no benefit to making a sub in extra time.

1) The referee helped us more than not. If he hadn't called the penalty, no way VAR would have awarded it. Other calls, too. 2) I don't understand Roy's subs. Wilf was playing one of his best all-round games ever. Hughes would have helped us hold possession better than Luka. (Perhaps he chose Luka expecting him to waste time by committing fouls.) Edouard offered nothing. 3) We made poor decisions in the final 5-10 minutes. Why not take the ball to the corner flag, or send it back to Johnstone repeatedly? 4) Set piece goals came from individual errors. Olise poor header, Doucoure losing his man, Ward off balance (though credit WHU for aggression). 5) Andersen played a fine first half but looked careless in the second. 6) Johnstone is so good in the air on corners that we'll probably see other teams block/surround him as Spammers did. 7) Mitchell's pace and ball skills are good, but his focus comes and goes. Ward is the complete opposite (except for his focus on the late throw-in). Wilf was spent. First game back, ran himself into the ground with his effort and also took a knock, which he was struggling with, after Coufal fouled him. Maybe that's also why Eze took the penalty.

Ward is the complete opposite (except for his focus on the late throw-in). Pretty much agreed on all here yet feel we made far too heavy-going of it today. Allowed ourself to be bullied at set-pieces leading to the goals from corners and also struggled against long throw-ins. Some really nice passing and possession football in the plus column and again adds to the idea that if we acquire one out and out striker of some talent, we can bolster attacking intent that's taking shape from the wings and midfield. So pleased we never really got in to a relegation dogfight and that we have an energetic team to start next season.

I'd like Guaita back for the next game. He may not be the most assertive at crosses but Johnstone was literally a yard behind the goal line for their third when he should have been attempting to punch the ball out I dont think theres many better shot stoppers than Guaita in the league but Johnstone is as good and has better distribution. For me Johnstone should be our number 1 from now on.

Wilf is a very difficult character. He loves playing and he loves Palace. He was so angry he forgot he has a bad knock and was limping. That's Wilf for you! But he came back, played from the start and scored a goal. Wilf was limping from the time he was hacked down over on the left - even when the play was nowhere near him. I assumed that that, and the fact that he'd just come back from an injury lay-off, were the reasons for taking him off, and I still think that.

Highly entertaining game that was destined for goals based on both teams form. Set prices are a weakness, whichever coach is out there and very keen on the job that is a clear area we need to improve. Never a penalty for me, but can anyone confirm my memory that we scored anyway after it bounced out, I thought one of our players drilled it bottom corner……or am I remembering that wrong? Playing with smiles and freedom that we never showed under vieira, I was disappointed it didn’t work out with him but I always pay attention to player behaviour and it’s clear the team were relieved with a point to prove after he left. On to the next game and great to enjoy the run in and give Roy and Ray a great send off for a fantastic job done. Further cementing Roy’s status at the club

I understand some criticisms but in all honesty I couldn’t care less now haha. We were miles better than them, I’m actually quite surprised how rubbish they were, can’t remember anything from them in open play. We can breathe for this season, which is most important, well done Roy and well done the lads. I’m suspicious our relaxing could quite possibly see us playing our best football it the remaining fixtures so here’s hoping. COYP!!!! Great win (eventually) Declan Rice was anonymous!
