This isn’t a dig at Roy or any predecessors but this just about sums up the whole ‘Glasner effect’ for me. Regardless of whether the goals come or not, the way he sets up the team and the way they play now inspires the hope that we are able to compete in every minute of every match. Nothing feels like a ‘write off’ or ‘no hoper’ now whereas previously anything unexpected felt like a miracle. The team looks purposeful and beholding of belief in itself, regardless of which players are or aren’t playing. That’s all I ever really wanted as a Palace fan was to watch our team compete throughout the season and have some ambition/belief as opposed to everything feeling like a nerve racking battle against the odds. I’m not saying it will last forever but that yearning I had, which I’m guessing many others did too, of seeing progression not as some ludicrous pipe dream or fairytale but actually something very possible is quite a wonderful albeit alien experience. Long may it continue. COYP.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

The four months in the middle reveal the most about personality & character – and, often, the manager's gifts for motivation.

I went to Leeds away and we were outstanding in the second half. But not in the first. We definitely seem to be “on it” from the start now.
