Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest match thread

[Team of the (20)80s]

That’s a relief. Very tough game in our current circumstances.

Hopefully no injuries. Four days to recover. Maybe Kamada to come back.

Feels like a defeat.

Let's hope Marinakis can't stop his ego from firing the Portuguese wizard

I'd like to see Esse move on now and follow up from Eze

 

[Hannes]

Well done, Ollie and the boys. I take this point all day given our "transfer activities" so far.

 

[Part Time James]

good point we was playing ok , nice cameo from esse so could have been worse

I only have a text commentary but did Esse do enough to start ahead of Devenny in the next one?

Very poor

Manager needs to rotate and the chairman needs to stop messing about get us some players not bargain basement ones.

I forgot about Kamada. Presumably he'll take Eze's position. He's not brilliant but might be a better option than the others.

Well that was a performance that says we wi be ok if we can get some squad depth in. Did well until they scored but were out on our feet in the final 15 minutes and we were pretty lucky to get a draw in the end. They could bring on 700 quality subs. We couldn’t. That almost told in the end.

Still we are unbeaten which is more than Man City, Man Utd, the Weed and a few others can say.

 

[Frenchaigle]

We had the better first half , they had better second .
So a draw was the fair result .

Thought Esse looked lively , some lovely skills .

No I can see why he doesn't get picked hes too light weight and only thing I see is some tricks.

I would give him a chance against weaker teams he may just need game time also isn't he more right sided not left.

100% showed more in 30 minutes then Devenny did in 2 starts

I haven't rated Kamada on the wings, looks great in CM where we already have options...

Hope I am wrong though.

Thanks for confirming, always hard to be sure just from the words of pundits!

 

[mtp1958]

thats 12 games undefeated , dont count friendly's so we are still going strong

 

[Part Time James]

No

Oh, I have both opinions then! What did Esse do badly? Or was Devenny just really good?

 

[ASCPFC]

Hard to say. He looked better on the ball perhaps but Devenny looks more solid. I suppose it depends on what you want in a particular game. As I've posted, considering the current squad, Kamada would likely take Eze's place wouldn't he? And perhaps he is the best option out of a lack of good options?

 

[MancunianEagle]

Romain looked extremely bright and offered us some creative spark something sorely missing from devenny. Hes definitely earned his chance to play more and maybe start vs Fredrikstad (maybe wishful thinking knowing OG)

I don’t think I would start him but he at least looks a positive option to have on the bench.

 

[Canterbury Palace]

Fine point under the circumstances. 4 games unbeaten to start the season. Glasner is working wonders with what he has but it's unsustainable.

The difference in the substitutions was embarrassing and unless we get better depth, tiredness and injuries will mount up.

Glasner deserves to be backed with 3-4 new players and if we don't do that, will have no complaints when he has enough.

On a positive, Esse looked lively, hope he starts on Thursday.

I agree , not knocking Devenney but he's not a 10 .Midfielder, and at the moment coming off bench .

 

[JHB]

I don’t think we saw enough to say. He was ok when he came on. Some nice touches but nothing that obviously impacted the game. To be fair to him by that stage Forest were in control and we were mostly defending. He seemed to do the necessary work in that respect and hold the shape.

As somebody else has said I strongly suspect that Kamada will take the Eze spot when fit and both Esse and Deveney will be on the bench
