Hopefully this is not true but the performance of the referee needs looking at. We have 2 players injured due to Huddersfield tactics. Whilst I accept that football is a contact sport the game on Saturday looked like a throwback to the 1970s players like Bremner,Stiles, Harris,Tommy Smith, Hunter and Pearce. Hopefully the club have made an official complaint and his descisions will be reviewed and the referee will be taken off the EPL list.

If we have lost Zaha for a few weekk then this is the chance for some of the other players to show there true worth. Lets hope that if one of the U23 players is chosen that he takes his chance and shows us that we have some strength in depth

Your mate must've been next to me..they were high fiving and screaming at their players to hit him...as well as target Ward

If that's true then that is disgusting. Could you contact the club in case they're not aware of it, because it's one thing if your players commit some fouls, but if you are celebrating them targeting a player then that is just vile.

think the same as a team is made up of 11 men not one. We need to playa a decent game with or without him although with him its a better option.
Another option is to buy in a player like Micky Droy (if you can remember him)who would be good to "go for" all the bully's who knock Wilf around. I know that when Micky played for us he was "a brick s***house" who if he went in for a tackle against three of the opposing team he would come off the best and win the ball as he did down here in Plymouth when Argyle were giving Clinton a very hard time both physically and verbally so Micky went in and sorted them out even though he got a yellow for one tackle. It worked though as Argyle left Clinton alone after Mickeys intervention. We won the game 3-1 in the end. Our team of today seem too cautious on a tackle to win the ball and players like Wilf get battered with no help from the ref. Mind you with John Moss in charge what did you expect he has the record for the most ever bad decisions and naff refereeing full stop. I am amazed the FA even employ him.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

With Wilf out it could be a good way of getting Cabaye/McArthur into the team; shoving Puncheon out wide.

It's always felt to me that we've been trying to accommodate Punch rather than playing him on merit.

He's better on the wing; esp crossing wise (perhaps even better than Wilf in the final ball).

Perhaps this bit of bad luck could be turned into a positive, as either Yohan/Jimmy are far better at breaking up play in the middle of the park then Punch could ever hope to be.....something that Lofuts Cheek showed us on Sat. We need players who can compete for a ball as well as shield the back 3
