Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest match thread

One could also argue we were unlucky at Leeds by being offside by a toenail away from a win against a team in form.

Actually, that might be the game I was whinging about when I said Ipswich. Could've been Leeds. Who am I? What's going on? Where's my nurse?

She's just boiling your enema. It could sting a bit.

Especially so soon after my last one.

It'll keep you on your toes anyway.

Obviously very happy with the result yesterday, but separate from that we do need to find a leader/cheerleader on the pitch. Much as I love Adam, he’s not a demonstrative captain. I know the importance of this role can be overstated, but Lacroix was really good at this and establishing a rapport with the fans.There’s no obvious candidate but I think it would help if one emerged.

Timber strikes me as ironically perfect captain material but of the inclination to not want the burden of that role (so he can just get on with his business)!

I’d love Mitchell or Richards to step up but don’t see them performing the role in that manner.

Nobody seems ‘perfect’ for the role atm but I still would like to see a few players step up as senior representatives for the team.

Probably best to wait and see who is still here for next season’s captain. Could end up being the tea lady at the rate we sell our decent players.

Richards has captained his country.

Someone like Doucoure does not seem to have captained but might be an outside candidate.

Beyond these I think Henderson is as good a candidate as any. Timber may join that list but he is just in the door and I'd like to see him play a full season first before taking a call on it.

Watching Coventry and Newcastle, Rudoni scores and lifts up his shirt to show 'Get well soon Nan' written on his undershirt. No yellow card. I guess it is ok and not cardable if you lift your shirt to show something like sending well wishes to someone, his Gran I guess, or maybe it is just acceptable if you don't play for Palace.
Always good to see the consistent application of the rules /s.
