Congratulations on a deserved PoM award. Joel has become a different player this season for the better. Not sure why but who cares. The guy is playing great and stands for everything new at Palace. Well done pal. Thoroughly deserved and yes I voted for you!!

Have always thought the world of Joel.

Been a magnificent servant to the club and this season he has been an absolute revelation.

And always seems like a thoroughly decent bloke.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

He really deserves to get Player of the Month. In many ways he deserves player of the decade. He has always been there in the thick of it, he cost next to nothing in present terms, yet his contribution in the time he has been here, would be hard to put a value on.
Joel’s, recent form has been a revelation in recent games, but isn’t that how much he reflects our club? Because our form as a team has been a revelation, and Joel has reflected where this club has been at ,at every step of its progress.

To me he had been a weak link for a while but it appears that PV has got the most out of him and like Jimmy Mac he is vastly improved this season.
What I do like is that a man of his age is still prepared to work harder than ever to make the most of his talent and to ensure that he still plays every week in the hardest League in the world.
That is something to be admired and is an example for younger players to follow.

Concur with the general congratulations.

Truthfully think that his distribution and attacking play is ho hum for this level - just never saw it as a particular concern in how we used to set up and so rated him higher than most. He's always struck me as a smart footballer with top defensive instincts - it is normally him who gets to clear the ball off the line no?

Just add a hat tip to PV and Osian Roberts in finding a square hole where he can plant his square peg. Smart management to look at player attributes and work within their strengths and limitations. Got the best out of him for sure.

Echo everything said on this topic. Never heard his name sung-maybe I’m wrong.
Kind of player with management potential, but perhaps he’s too bright for that!
Well done Joel. A true professional and credit to the club.
