Or, maybe, just maybe, under new management and with the prospect of good things to come, they could decide that they have a future here, where they are almost guaranteed to be on the team sheet rather than the bench.

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Really surprised with how poor he was today. First game on a new manager, wouldn't have impressed Ollie.

Good to see us keep pushing after going 1-0 up.

Subs were correct IMO.

We are still very inefficient with the ball, e.g. struggle to generate chances or play direct passes even when in good positions. One for the coaches to work on that's for sure

Good to see Franca beaming from ear to ear walking off. 2 assists in an efficient little cameo. He should be very happy with that.

I’d like to say that I told you so with regard to our teams management, but I’ll leave you to make your own mind up.

Correct and glad Ollie has already asked the team to play on the front foot.
Football fans are fickle but us Palace fans don't ask for much. Putting in a shift and trying to take our opponents on, that's what we want to see.
I'll be at Spurs next week and regardless of the result, let's give it a go. We will learn more about the game plan from that game.
P.S can we please beat Spurs- even now the Mrs family (all Spurs season ticket holders) have chalked this up as 3 pts. I'd do anything to see us take 3 pts next week.

Burnley are clearly very limited (even with eleven players) and look doomed. They defended stoutly (apart from the lunacy of the first goal) but once the first goal went in others were likely to follow.

I thought the sending off was 100% correct, it was the clearest of clear goal scoring opportunities and Lerma (I think) was wrestled back.

Great to see a training ground routine from a couple of corners, can’t remember the last time we tried something different.

Franca was a great impact sub (loved his driving run at tired defenders for the penalty). Whether he is a starter I’m not sure but definitely deserves more minutes.

JPM was very good again and deservedly got on the scoresheet.

Every other game from now on will be a tougher proposition but a very promising start.

I guessing he won't be in again unless Mateta is injured. He's totally clueless no runs nothing, he's just following the game not leading it

Jeff not even on the bench and can't see him in the injured lists. I doubt we'll see him again either
