Much better today. We play better against sides that don't sit-in and park the bus. We need to figure out how to play against these teams with games coming up against Watford, Burnley, Stoke and Wolves.

Always that feeling at the end of the game, knowing the other team is going to score :_-(

No shots on target in the entire game. Yet again we concede near the end, it is so predictable, Yes we play very well, but not in those vital areas that are the difference. between success and failure.

OK but we're not beating those lesser sides are we? No not at the moment - but games like today prove that things are moving in the right direction. I look at this way - this season was always going to be a season of transition - new Manager, new tactics and at times 7 or 8 new players in the starting XI..!! This was always going to take time - that much was always obvious. But I'm confident we'll avoid any entanglement with a relegation battle - irrespective of today's results those in the bottom 3 will struggle to get to low 30's in terms of points come the end of the season - if they even achieve that - Norwich won't..!! For me given the changes we have made a season outside any relegation serious relegation issues would be a positive. Do that it is next season with a couple more additions we will start to reap the benefits from the changes we have made. But in the meantime we've got to accept it is work in progress and so there will be bumps along the way. But performances like today prove we are moving in the right direction - keep on this upward curve and we will be fine..!! COYP

I can’t help but feel total frustration after that game, too many late goals, no winning mentality , can’t finish in final third , can’t defend set pieces all season, And to anyone saying we still have 26 points compared to anyone else ? I’ve never been so frustrated with a palace team in my 33 years Wednesday will mean everything and I have no doubt we will lose ,

This is unbearable. Yet another match with points lost in the final minutes. Add this to the experience of watching Palace do the same v Brighton, Arsenal and Leeds. You walk home in a daze of disappointment and also worry that we are not safe from relegation. How much more can we take?
The right place at the right time |

I like what we are trying to do, and to be fair many of us have been crying out for us to play more attractive football.

The rush is to get the season over as we are trying to do what many teams have done e.g charlton , Portsmouth Norwich (on many occasion) Fulham (many occasion) and we simply do not have the players to do it and stay up , this is what everyone wanted right? The old dinosaur hodgson out who played bad football it kept us up and someone else who would make us a team like we are ? However the team that we are are someone who anyone in that league would love to play now and we are in serious trouble

Thoroughly cheesed off with that. Not a game we deserved to lose. We weren’t great but neither weee Chelsea. We need to take our chances. Just like Liverpool it has cost us dear.
