Whilst i for one very much appreciate his up turn in form (it was very much needed!) and he has been an excellent servant to us so deserves our respect , we would be foolish not to still be looking to improve on this area over the summer . Providing we stay up that is !

I don't believe it to be an issue Roy should have to worry about in the January window and concentrate on bringing in striker(s) and a keeper

So which one is going to move on and gives us the football equivalent of Wings?

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

I get fed up with the constant digs of Joel Ward on this site.He always gives his all for the club,puts his body on the line when required.Never goes missing,if he makes a mistake tries his best to rectify the situation.Has been our preferred right back by our previous and current manager.Looks after himself with his Christian beliefs,when was the last time he has been injured?
My question is why in earth haven't we got a song for him ?

It probably ought to be a Hymn for him!

As a sidenote to the constant criticism I keep reading about him - yesterday he staarted his 200th game for Palace - over 150 in the PL.

You don't play that amount of games if you're 'crap'. A player that has given everything in every game and deserves a bit more respect than he's currently getting.

I hope he gets another contract as he is more than capable and a valuable squad member.

Only his second game back after months out....though yesterday he looked frustrated with himself.
