Connor Wickham totally immense when he came on today, we would've been bashing that barn door all night and all day tomorrow without him, all he has to do is stay fit and we will have no striker problems whatsoever. Even before his injury Connor Wickham was pretty average. Scored 17 in 108 Premier League matches. So even if fit, don't expect more than 2-3 moments like this in a season from him. For a team like Palace to keep Benteke and Wickham beyond this winter....is something I can't understand. Center forward is maybe the most important position in the team. Without goals, we'll soon be fighting relegation

His goal scoring record per game isn't bad at all. 1 in 67 minutes this season, 1 in 170 minutes last season. 1 in 200 minutes the year before. If only he wasn't injured ALL the time.

A few years ago I remember Stoke had started to feel secure in the Premiership and wanted to play more attractive football. We scored the goal that relegated them down to the Championship. Hodgeson has been great for Palace.....and to play attacking attractive football you need the players....and for that you need the money and a seriously good coach. People need to accept that Palace have been punching above our weight for years.....there are plenty of clubs with better grounds and clubs with higher attendances than us in the Championship.
Yep, Let's not forget that this is our longest ever stint in the top division. Let's also remember Salvation Sunday at Hillsborough and why that was necessary (points deduction etc.)

Roy is not performing miracles. We've got a team that can stay up fairly comfortably. We should have got 6 points from the last 3 games, but he stuck everyone behind the ball and we came away with 2. He's got a well organised side, but individual skill levels seem to be deteriorating, too much pressure on our star player. With the tactics, training, and refusal to play certain players it's no wonder that players we have want to leave, and player recruitment is difficult. Words fail me!
