They basically told the entire squad they were free to leave and that included Downes. Opposition fans say his head was turned and he didn’t show up 2nd half of the season, they expect him to leave. They are the most deluded fans, still leaving in the 80s.

Bats isn’t a Palace player.

Bats would have probably scored today, and if the Viera system, is going to get us in the opposition penalty area more often than ,Roy’s teams, then it’s a penalty box preditor we need.
The wage is going to be the issue whoever is brought in, but whoever it is , what ever we pay them. They need to be able to turn the sort chances made today into goals. Today and last week at Walsall , only Wilf looked like scoring, the rest couldn’t even hit the target most of the time. It is early yet for this season, but this is an old story for Palace,, it’s not new.
