.....i always felt Wayne needed a little more time to settle in and never really had Pardews full backing, hence the occasional unconfident performance last season. Replacing Jules was always going to be hard going, but I think he's still capable of being our number 1, especially as there's a question about Steves long term commitment to Palace now.....

I love Jules but I having him back between the sticks is a rose tinted gamble.

In my opinion with a better goalkeeper we would not have let in 5. Never been a fan of Hennessey. Up until the first goal Palace were in complete control of the game and really should have been 2 up. I think it was a very cheap free kick to be given away and a poor decision by the ref. These things happen and you then have to defend it. The wall is set up and is very difficult to get the ball up and over the wall from that range. You let the wall do it's job and defend the other side. Not the first time he moves in wrong direction before the kick is taken.
Go in at 1-0 and it's carry on and no need to take any risks.
Second problem was at least twice he starts to come for a cross realises he can't get there and retreats back. Does not install confidence - given his height he should be going for these crosses rather than staying on his line.
