This team just looks so dominant. Sure I say this every week now, but can't remember the last time I saw a Palace side that I was so confident can beat anyone.

^ And yep, these few games coming up will be huge.

Brilliant win again, can't speak highly enough of this team.

On a sad note I'm gutted to hear Ben Watson has broken his leg, a class act that I've always rated.
Get well soon prince Harry.

"They didn't stop from start to finish and the professionalism and determination to keep this run going is awesome and I have to say it's an absolute pleasure to watch them play at the moment.
"So, very excited, well done, it's a great performance and it shows signs of being a bit more than solid."

Palace made it three straight wins for new boss Ian Holloway and stretches their unbeaten run to 14 matches.

decent performance overall yesterday although we weren't firing on all cylinders compared to previous games lately... jedi had a stormer in midfield and murray was a cut above again... even though we were never really in trouble at any point in previous seasons that game would have finished 1-1 but this season we know how to finish teams off and put them to the sword and that is really great to see...

Wilfried Zaha has been awarded the Championship PFA Fans' Player of the Month award.

some more good news...

And even more good news - confirmed now that Damien Delaney has signed a new two-year contract.

It's all good right now. Which points to just one thing...a loss on Saturday.

today's team:

Speroni, Ward, Parr, Bolasie, Dikgacoi, Garvan, Jedinak, Zaha, Murray, Delaney, Ramage

Subs : Wilbraham, Easter, Moxey, O'Keefe, Moritz, Gabbidon, Price

full-time: Leeds 2-1 Palace

so the jinx continues, our record there in recent years is terrible. but we did seem to play quite well again which despite the result is a good positive to take.

Leeds 2 Palace 1 . The unbeaten run had to come to a end sometime , at least it was not against Brighton . Still scored in every game this season .

performance wasn't too bad overall... apart from the first 20 minutes when leeds were on top... bit disappointed we didn't get a point but i would have been more down if we had played badly but we didn't...

... now to start a new unbeaten run.

Sad to see the brilliant unbeaten run come to an end but at least it didn't end with us playing badly. And as Bandit says time to start a new run.

Tough one tonight away at Hull. It will be interesting to see how (if?) we bounce back after Saturday's disappointment.

And at least it didn't end with us playing Brighton!

Not confident about tonight's game. They're looking pretty good this season.

Interesting to see how we do without Murray though, if he's suspended.

full-time: Hull 0-0 Palace

good point overall when you consider the form Hull have been in of late. first time we haven't scored though in 23 league games.

^^ this

Glad all over that it wasn't called off due to rain, FFS Murray!

happy with the point at hull, too... took us an hour to get going and we could have snatched it a couple of times at the end,,,

... now on to the big one!

Tuesday draw was a decent result, especially given how many chances they had.

Now, everyone ready for tomorrow?!

Decent draw on Tuesday. Good to know that even when we don't play great we are still hard to beat.

Nervous about tomorrow. Form goes out the window with these games so literally anything can happen! Just hope we turn up!

today's team:

Speroni, Ward, Parr, Bolasie, Dikgacoi, Garvan, Jedinak (c), Zaha, Murray, Delaney, Ramage

Subs : Price, Wilbraham, Easter, Moxey, O'Keefe, Moritz, Gabbidon

this is great stuff. 3-0 at the moment, 2 for Murray, 1 for Garvan.

we are terrorising them!

Last year Palace won oh so well on my birthday, and now this year the day after it, too
