Will the coward dare make a change this half time?

Zero changes at half time?

It only makes some sense (even then at a stretch) if there's some plan to bring on Doumbia early for a shock. But we all know he'll wait until the last two minutes to do anything, the coward.

Whatever, man. Just one big troll now. Doumbia to come on in the 88th minute if it's 2-0 to them?

Well, someone's croaking tomorrow now.

Still can barely believe what happened last night. Not so much that we lost, but the way we did and we set up. All of McClaren's spiel is about doing the right things, setting things up properly so that over a large enough sample of games we'd do alright. Which is exactly what you have to do in the situation we are in. However in effect it's the complete opposite and McClaren's making noises. We're setting out weirdly and managing changes horrifically. Proof of that is that even the one good result against West Brom was jeopardised by the game management. Bad times.

Had a mare two words in.

Signs of this cowardice were just as evident in the win over West Brom. Just papered over by the end result. Not a viable strategy and we'll just get done by any team that aren't completely as negative in their approach.

Just seen Wickham's two goals... class finishing.

Well it's done now... so we might as well enjoy the aspect that we can from that result. Eleven

Aye, nice one POOT

Right goal for Leicester now and then just close the whole night down.

Was on board with another Palace defeat but looking at the reality of the live table just now, I'm pussying out... Draw is fine.

... What a start.

Slightly scary with studs on though.

Yellow card for over celebration in a cup final. ... Genius.

Very frustrating, but says a lot that after all these years nothing at all has changed.

I suppose they are very eager to get the season done with and ideally guarantee survival. Only then will it be time for any moral stance.

Come on, Palace fans. Just give it up and join us!

Another staple of the Pards. If a player needs a goal or a pick me up performance, not to worry!

Hmm... okay. Well, hopefully this will justify playing Wickham even more.

Hmm... loaning Bolasie out to Hull might sort this mess out.
