For those of us that travelled to The New Den

[Stat Brother]

Did you expect the return fixture to have Millwall in the top 6 and us behind them?

I certainly didn't.

Although I do remember commenting at the time, the Millwall and the Watford game previous, seemed the beginning of the wheels coming off.

 

[Mr Blobby BHA]

Looking back on it probably wouldn't expect them to be above us however I do remember us defending for a lot of that game especially the last 10 mins when they nicked one back and they did look like scoring a second although we played well and we left that game with confidence for the rest of the season but a few games later it all changed again

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

They also only had ten men at the end and we were hanging on at the end of the game

 

[The Oldman]

I remember us singing "You are going down with the Palace". Rather ironic methinks.

 

[Giraffe]

Indeed. Frankly until the last twenty minutes they played like a shower of shit. We walked all over them. And then in typical style nearly regretted not killing off the game.

However it just shows what a tight division it is. Any team can turn a season around and win a few on the bounce

I remember singing how much does the fat kid weigh haha

We were really hanging on and I couldn't bear to watch the last 5 minutes of injury time. I know we beat them and looked good in parts but we never looked significantly worse or better TBH both quite even teams with our defence doing the job whilst we were still scoring.

Unfortunately we stopped scoring.

They started playing when down to ten men, something that can happen so often. I think we thought we had killed the game at 0-2 and playing v their 10. You're right though, they did absolutely nothing for 70 mins and then came strong when they had nothing more to lose.

Think they were 5/6th bottom and I believe Palace were bottom hence the now ironic but then contemporary 'you're going down with the Palace'.

 

[Napper]

Be good to see the league table after that game. I know we were top

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I think listening to Gus, that's why he's so frustrated. There are a lot of average teams above us. If we start banging in some of our chances, we'd definitely be up there.

I got that completely wrong with the table, Palace had started their good run...

When we genuinely thought they were going down...

I had started to believe we were going to be the real deal.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

As someone pointed out we played the Watford game on the previous Tuesday and to be fair we were pretty awful. But at the time happy to be able to say we were playing badly and nicking the three points.
