I think so, it's so tight and everyone seems to be picking points up when e do. However we're a totally different proposition to three months ago and we're in a very strong position to do so now, with a better, more confident team and tighter defence. ..they made my arse squeak. .......has our coach driver done a Poo'yet, without thinking about Gus!

Quote Jam at 08 Feb 2014 5.04pm Too soon to think that survival is now probable rather than just possible? Yes! Too soon, but we can hope that Cardiff and Fulham continue to struggle and drop away. That would leave us and all the rest vying to avoid the last relegation spot, in which case we couldn't be in better hands than with TP. Love hearing him barking from the touchline all game! Reckon we can give Man Ure & Saints a good game in the next two home matches, and hopefully trouble Swansea away too.

Another great result particularly good for the new guys but although we taken nine points from last four games and now 13 th we still only 3 points above relegation zone - must be the tightest PL season yet ! Could go to the wire and GD be critical.

Great result. Performance will get better as players gel. Loving the depth we have in the squad now. Murray will be a very straight forward swap for Cameron Jerome. TP has so many more tactical options now - and I think he has the skills to use them to great affect.

Can we put the totally rubbish statistic of ball possession out to the tip? First half WBA 67%, Palace 33%, half time score Palace 2-0 and the dominant side. I can keep the ball 100% of the match and it will end up 0-0 if I don't do anything with it. Outside of the first 15 minutes of the second half I thought Palace the better side, defending was superb, WBA's goal was down to a superb bit of individual skill. Their defending was shocking, Ledley will never have a freer header in front of goal, Foster was very lucky not to go off as he went two footed into Chamakh's ankle. Very satisfying performance for me and now since I found where I can watch every Palace match on my cable (NBC Sports Extra Time, Channels 370-374 and HD 391-395 on TWC Cable NYC), I won't miss another Palace match this season. Any others over here with cable/sat should check the NBCSN web site for their systems set up. Edited by kenbarr (08 Feb 2014 5.34pm) Edited by kenbarr (08 Feb 2014 5.36pm) Divorced...And LOVING it!

What a result, and a brilliant debut by Ince, and Ledley will surely be feeling good too! Was nearly handgliding on a brolly whilst fishing, but god knows Palace can always help you when you're up against it! RED AND BLUE ARMY!

Match ratings: Speroni- 8- Kept us in the game a number of times and covered for what was poor defending Ledley- 6- Scored but looked poor positionally at times (probs due to fact he isn't a left back) and we were exposed at times Delaney- 7- Solid as ever Dann- 5- Bit harsh but felt he was out of position often, slow and our weak link in back four. Would move Gabbidon back for Everton game. Ward- 7- Standard KG- 7- Solid and workmanlike Jedinak- 2 or 10!- He is amazing at winning the ball and defending hence the 10 but equally he just gives it a way hence the 2. He exposed us about 5 or 6 times today and he needs to start passing the simple ball to a player of better technical ability rather than trying to do it himself. Puncheon- 6- Glimpses but quite quiet. Efficient performance. Ince- 8- Good finish and looked dangerous for us. Also got an assist although set pieces could have been better. Bolasie- 6- Worked hard but as always no end product. Certainly puts a shift in! Chamakh- 7- Led line well, held ball up and created penalty and converted. On another note, good to see Murray back- not so much Thomas...
