Also at the risk of opening up an old wound I am still not happy with Hennessey.
He has made some blinding saves and kept us in games but he has no authority and regularly hesitates and therefore bottles things in my opinion.
Yesterday was a prime example when in the first half he came out for a 50/50 cross and suddenly stopped when the ball was clearly his to punch - their player headed over thankfully.
These situations are too common and despite his point blank ability I think we need our new Goalie to be given a run of games.
Awaits abuse with interest!

Ugly win devoid of quality play for much of the game that rightly attracted last billing on MOTD. Huddersfield will be kicking themselves (as opposed to Wilf) that they didn't get the win. Without Wilf, we'd have been out of sight and left far behind.

By way of poor defence, all I can add is that Spurs had a shocker yesterday that made us look phenomenal in that department.

I am willing to believe we did not play that well. I didn’t see it albeit the 9 minutes of highlights (i.e. the ‘best’ bits from both teams) I saw some good play.

BUT the negativity on this thread is unbelievable! Man U play badly, Man City play badly, Chelsea or any of those rich teams and the response is ‘good teams win even when playing badly’. That is true so perhaps you bunch of Eeyores just think it might be that Palace might be one of those good teams!

Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

Went to the game yesterday and think I must have been watching a different match. I dont think you could call us "atrocious" at all. I admit that it wasnt the most exciting game to watch but I thought we defended very well, were good on the break and most importantly looked in control and confident. I think Tomkins had a great game, looked very steady. I think they need to look at getting some kind of sports therapist in to speak to Wilf - goal aside he did seem reluctant in general to go on runs which is vital.

On a side note, what a horrible group of fans Huddersfield were. We were unluckily sitting right next to the division and I have to say Ive not known a group of absolute thugs like that. Some of the "songs" they sang were absolutely disgusting, I was very pleased my son had stayed away. Spoilt the match for me, so glad Wilf scored which did help to shut them up.

Would have like to have seen Meyer on around 70 mins for a bit of pace and energy in the last quarter.

Also Kouyate handing his shirt to a young lad in the crowd = class.

Hodgson hasn't sorted the midfield yet after the loss of Cabaye, Luka's form should pick up once everyone's role is clear and Meyer's a regular - will take a bit of time before we click, hopefully Meyer will start v Toon.

Hope so too. The Arse struggled against them yesterday until Torreira came on. Meyer could do a similar job and also we looked a lot livelier against the Saints when he came on. Let's hope we see him before trying to chase a game.
