Crystal Palace vs Leeds United Match Thread

[Broad Ford]

You make it sound like he was coming back from an injury amd wasn't match sharp.

Not the case.

He is our No1 penalty taker.

He's failing to score goals, yet you trust him to convert the spot kick?

Okay normally i cant STAND draws, and im sick of hard luck stories

But... today hats off..

Down to 10 men, and Selhurst Park on its day can be a tough place to go to

To still get away with a point is great, and as long as we pick up a win in the next game or two, then i will be happy

But for today only i will accept a draw.

PS DCL is really getting on my knockers. I was the first to praise him during his golden period but now hes just showing 0 IQ and is actually a hinderence!

Panda, apart from his penalty miss, DCL worked tirelessly & had a decent game.

Their £50m striker Strand-Larsen did nowhere near the work Dominic got through.

3 points from the last 15 ain't great though, however it's framed

The only good thing is the others haven't taken advantage, although the gap is down from 8 to 3.

[airedale]

Maybe both teams will be ok by then with Notts Forest below or Spurs

fingers crossed for that ,lets hope so.

[SG90]

It's only a "good point" if we beat Brentford. If we don't, then it isn't. These are the kind of games we should be winning though. I doubt WH/Nuno would be celebrating a draw.

[1964white]

No problem with no subs on today, being down to 10 men ruled out Gnonto, Piroe and James. Not a game for them. Longstaff would have been a liability probably. You're not bringing on Bornauw or Perri obviously, Which leaves Tanaka as the only possible sub but Gruev was playing well

Have to say, Gruev made an important contribution today, when we required it in the second-half.

Brilliant sub from Farke!

Thats true but I would be more worried if we were playing badly.

[whiteswan]

Great point in the end

Unlucky not to get three points.
Lucky to get one point.

Yes, and that's an away game out of the way and as you were in the table (dependant on Spuds result). Also that's Wet Spam and Florist only drawing at home so they are a home game down.

[1964white]

3 points for the taking today. Nmecha should have taken the penalty. Hard fought draw and a battling 2nd half. Johnson should have got a red! Ref was abysmal. Take the point and move on. We need 3 wins!

PS: Nmecha or Stach on pens please…

Calvert-Lewin is our penalty taker.

If they score then obviously you bring on Gnonto and maybe Piroe... but at 0-0 you're playing for a draw when down to 10. Gruev so good and making things difficult for opposing teams, closing down spaces, rerouting players. He's like a shut down corner at times... even if he doesn't show much on the ball.

Definition of team player, doesn't need to start every game, didn't need to start this one but the right sub tbf at the right time.. Aaronson has been in fade for a while anyway

I’ve not heard that phrase for years

[Irish Ian]

Well, the team do.

All strikers go through times without scoring its just the way it is.

Its very easy to be wiser after the fact.

[The Subhuman]

Thats true but I would be more worried if we were playing badly.

We're not playing well to be fair, don't think we've gone into games with the right starting line up a lot this season.. Bogle should have started for me, Aaronson shouldn't have. Nmecha and DCL don't compliment each other so wouldn't have started Nmecha. But the in game management was good from Farke ..

[1964white]

Three draws in London this season.

[Johnthewhite]

I think they would playing half the game with ten men

[Jammy 07]

Panda, apart from his penalty miss, DCL worked tirelessly & had a decent game.

Their £50m striker Strand-Larsen did nowhere near the work Dominic got through.

Plus DCL pushed out from the short corner to catch Brennen Johnson offside when Palace thought they had scored. Had he been just a little bit lazy then the goal would have been allowed.

[The Subhuman]

Would love a massive Spurs hammering and then they Bring Arry in and he’s very very keen for the gig.
That would probably be suicide.

Yep. c'mon the Pool

[1964white]

Who else is absolutely s**tting themselves in anticipation of a last game of the season showdown with west ham?

No, I'm relatively calm!

[1964white]

If they score then obviously you bring on Gnonto and maybe Piroe... but at 0-0 you're playing for a draw when down to 10.

Earned his corn today.

No, it's a good point irrespective if we don't lose any ground to our direct competitors.

If we get beat by Brentford but Spurs, Forest and West Ham also lose, it's as you were, but today still remains a good point.

All we need to do is maintain or increase our lead over somebody else for the next 8 games. Today we could have seen it decreased but we didn't.
