Well a good performance against a poor Championship team Concerned that our defence will not have got a good workout in the pre-season games. Toulouse only stayed in Ligue 1 via the relegation playoffs

This was almost too good. To be fair Reading were dreadful. How are they promotion challengers by that display? Paul Clement has a mountain to climb by the looks of that wretchedness. Palace looked scary good going forward and were good enough covering the counters. Wayne made that one fine save to preserve the clean sheet at the death plus his distribution was excellent. He actually looked calm and composed today. Zaha was an even better Zaha and his link play with PVA, Schlupp and Macca was an absolute joy. Andros' cross on the Tomkins goal was a thing of beauty. Sorloth still is a work in progress but he took his goal exceptionally well. Wickham looked particularly good in his cameo, shame he couldn't put his shot on frame put he played really clever balls that could have converted into goals. If we can keep the strike force healthy I expect a lot of goals this season since Zaha is definitely in the mood for it and he is definitely staying. He is enjoying his football, has a real rapport with the squad and they all look for him in dangerous positions. Wan-Bissaka must be the starter at right back with Joel backing him up. For once we look healthy and deep. Luka hasn't missed a beat either. It scares me but my optimism for the coming season grows by leaps and bounds every week. Edited by kenbarr (28 Jul 2018 5.52pm)

Might be an idea to let Toulouse come onto us a bit if they are dross.

Palace were in complete control and a joy to watch. Wilf’s goals were extremely well taken. I was however disappointed with Reading: they looked pretty toothless. Most of their fans seem to be fearing the worst for the coming season, but I did have to smile at a comment one of them made, “To think they once replaced Zaha with Kebe”.
