Fine result, congratulations to Roy, Ray, and the team. Roy obviously encouraged them to get forward and not be afraid to shoot.
Just checked the Bournemouth highlights and they very nearly went 2 down, the Fulham player hit the bar, but they carried on going forward and got their reward, as we did.
Hopefully this result will be a springboard to more positive performances under Roy and Ray. Good stuff.

Just got back from the match and have to say that was a totally different performance to the pile of crap we have been watching most of the season.

Plaudits in particular to Eze and Edouard (who finally realised that if you run you have a chance of closing down and winning the ball), Schlupp who I thought played great first half but tired, Doucoure who dominated the midfield, Wilf who looked more dangerous than most of the other games he’s played, Mateta’s lovely cameo and our solid back 4 who, apart from Wards massive lack of pace looked secure throughout.

A very good performance with 31 shots on goal, 9 on target versus 3 shots, 2 on target. If Leicester had got anything out of that game I would have felt aggrieved but ultimately I was elated with the final score.

Not sure how much Roy has changed the team, but he has certainly brought some effort and vigour to the team. Well done Palace, a much deserved much required win.

Got to listen to John Salako’s take on the match afterwards, who was gutted that Vieira had gone but agreed we needed a change and saw the match as a Vieira team playing in a more free manner. Never thought one of Roy’s teams would do that but I’ll give him his dues, he picked an attacking lineup from the start and didn’t really stray from the path.

I thought we were poor, first 15 of the second half but then we dug in and it was fantastic to see us going for the win. Well done players and management.

a huge part of man-management is psychology & mind games.

Something Roy seems to be very good at.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Yes I can only imagine that PVs similarity to the below wasn't very reassuring for all the players

Comes from within.

Incredible improvement from some - obviously Eze but also Doucoure who played further forward, pressed with the other players and got some tidy attacking passes off rather than standing in front of the central defenders playing square balls.

Great to see the centre backs playing speculative balls and testing the opposition and forwards.

Big negative was our lack of quality in front of goal - only Eze looks like he can cut it IMO.

Mateta has less ability but more energy and presence than Edouard. I'd rather (at my previously modest level) play against Edouard than Mateta.

A bit sanctimonious, we’ve played 1 game. Justified if we play like that all the time, but you haven’t earned the right for that post.. yet!

Rodger’s made a change at half time with Wilf going off and it caught us on the hop. Castagne didn’t move from his half with Wilf on the pitch.

I think it was clear to see that PV had run out of ideas and a change was the only way forward. Absolutely massive 3 points today and we deserved nothing less.

"I don't think in the four years that I was lucky enough to have worked here before, I ever saw that quality of performance the team gave in first half. That is a credit to the previous manager and the work that has been done with the players,"

Roy's quote after game

Hope not but "muscle strain" is a pretty vague diagnosis.
