So I got to watch the match on Saturday, albeit on television. To be fair I thought considering what had gone before, the boys did well. Crystal Palace came and were determined to get something out of the game. I was impressed with Wilfred Zaha and indeed was also impressed with him last night for the U21s.
For me the boys looked tired, slower to the ball and lacking in incisiveness up front. Greeno was outstanding between the sticks and Noble did all he could do boss midfield once more. Maynard looked like he would work better off of Cole, but it's only his second game so let's see. Vaz Te looked quality and I was surprised he was subbed when he was, would have loved to have seen him play with Maynard off of Cole! Baldock was great when he came on and but for two great saves would have gone home with 2 goals. The back four stood up to constant pounding, although Faye did look out of position at times.
So we may have dropped to second, but we still have a game in hand. A tough game against Cardiff on Sunday, again in front of the TV cameras!
