Shelbourne vs. Crystal Palace match thread

Uche leading the Pslace chants in front of the fans. He’s had a great night and looks a handful and fit. Eddie got his goal and had a decent night. He’s a bit lightweight and maybe not capable of 90 minutes.

It does not guarantee it unfortunately as AEK and Palace are at +5, Fiorentina +4, they could both leapfrog us with goal difference. This is provided we win, and all others in front win as well, which is not guaranteed at all...

Really pleased with Uche + Esse tonight they can be proper players for us in the future. That being said Shelbourne are absolute dross. Not even sure if they beat Macclesfield....

Decent performance, great result. Good to see players taking their chance to perform. Uche starting to look useful and I thought Esse looked improved. If I'm greedy I'd say it's a shame we didn't get a few more as GD could be very important for a top 8 finish. Particularly a shame that Esse chance didn't go in.

Atmosphere at the end looked good and nice seeing the players enjoying themselves with the fans.

Second half has shown, why Kamada gets the starts. Hughes has many qualities, but picking a forward pass isn't one of them. Both playing against the same opposition and Kamada is much more influential.

Agreed. Kamada gets a lot of stick here but he’s a class act and his forward passing in tight spaces from midfield created 2 of the goals tonight. We didn’t have the same threat on the wings without Muñoz so playing through the middle was key. We were less effective without Kamada and Wharton.
