THE palace player to watch out for Derby day

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Quite. Holloway says he's more like David Silva though.

David Willva?

Williams has the same effect that Zaha does in that he draws players to him and frees space elsewhere. Zaha gets a lot of stick here (shocker) largely due to the fact that he's a skilful player and sometimes goes down a bit easily. But he is always involved and his passing has really improved. He will be quite some player - he just won't always be breathtaking and that seems to be what some people think is the minimum acceptable level for him !

Williams is a constantly involved player - comes as deep as he needs to in order to get the ball, and his immense close control, balance and vision makes him extremely dangerous. Unusually for a player of this ilk he isn't shy of a crunching tackle and ever since I saw him get stuck into Papa Bouba Diop last season I've known he's well up for it. Quite a player, and only 19.

Anyone?

Nope, me neither.

I read it a few times and now have quite a headache.

Speroni - if he isn't playing a blinder , Spanish Dave and Spanish Len will have easy pickings.

Crawly already consider Palace as their latest rivals

good then maybe all those palace fans we have on here might go and bother the Crawley forum if they have one and if they keep that turnip of a manager they will be playing in the same league as Crawley very soon

If you really believe that you should take a trip to the bookies.

I think you'll find the Premier League is a far more likely destination for the mighty Eagles

0 shots on target against the bottom of the league team. We put 4 past the best defense in the division. Not concerned.

I'll say it again , you lost 4-1 at Ashton Gate plus fail to mention Speroni was beaten twice on Tuesday evening.

We lost 4-1 at Ashton Gate with our reserves. We hadn't signed Bolasie, Delaney, Moritz, Blake, etc. and Murray was injured.

Bristol City weren't bottom of the league then, either.

In that case I'll chip in with CMS rupturing his Achilles tendon in the 1st half as an excuse for us not having a shot on goal all game Bristol City have proved over most of the season they are heading for relegation regardless of where they were in the table when they played Palace.

You had 6 of the same players in your team for that game as you did for the last match.

Not really RESERVES

About half our matchday squad wasn't playing against Bristol. It was the best side we could field at the time but would be very much second string now.

I really hope we smash this lot, I mean REALLY

How do you work that out?

Hull before they played you had conceded 39 goals and now it is 43.

Cardiff have conceded 37 goals

Leicester have conceded 30

Brighton have conceded 35

They still have a better defensive record than Palace, even after you put 4 past them. Only one team in the top 6 have a worse defence than Palace and that is Watford.

 

[TheMajor]

Feck me. How did Huddersfield & Sheffield Wednesday managed to beat Palace when they had the new "Maradona" playing for them? -

Which former great does Johhny Williams remind you of? - CPFC BBS

Last season we drew 0-0 at Wet spam yet I seem to recall you lot got tonked 6-0 what difference does that make?

Compared to you - A point and minus six on our goal difference. Anything else you want to know about football ?

 

[L'hampton Eagle]

Yeah ok Major he's a question, where it matters on the pitch how is it since 2000 we've scored 15 goals V BHA 5 ? Perhaps Brighton are a better team than Palace and you've been unlucky
