Yes, it was a poor show, goalwise from us

Yes, we should have roundly beaten 10 men from Div 2,

but you know what?

I actually thoroughly enjoyed that good, old fashioned, end-to-end cup game against gung-ho, backs-to-the-wall opposition.

It's just so very Palace!

Puts tin hat on and retires to cook dinner for himself

Seriously professional footballers......my arse

Sorloth is a 9m waste of space , loan him out to a Div 2 team.

Very well put...
People keep complaining we need this and that but tbh we need depth in the whole squad, ok our strikers aren’t scoring but let’s fwce it all of our strikers are big centre forwards and they are hardly known for their silky messi Esque performances with the ball at feet.

We need an AJ type of player to compliment Benteke or Wickham.
You're on to a hiding for nothing in games like this. For example, see Morata not celebrating either of his goals for Chelsea v Notts Forest. We won and that's all that matters. Dann looked solid and Kelly played well. Zaha and Townsend overdid it and seemed to be trying to win it on their own.

At the end of the day our league form coming into this game was really good, it's not like some seasons where we really needed a performance to pick us up. Great for Ayew to get another goal. Those being negative need to put this game in context with the wins over Wolves, Leicester and Man City.

I understand people being annoyed we didn't score more, but for me the result was never in doubt as we were so dominant and it just felt like luck couldn't only keep Grimsby in it for so long. Thankfully we don't have to go to a replay and we move on. It looks like Roy may be taking the cup seriously.
