another transfer deadline day passes and it's yet another disappointing day. the best we can do is 2 loan signings, one of which is 39 years old & at least a decade past his best. really?
Matt Ritchie moves to Bournemouth for £500k. we were supposed to be interested in him, why didn't we go for him, especially for that price?! |

full-time: Palace 2-1 Charlton
looked hairy there for us for quite a while but 2 late Murray goals turns it around for us. hopefully the luck is changing. |

First half was not good. The second was though! Subs of Phillips and Dobbie (and Williams) changed the game completely. And Murray is such top class finisher. Quote:

The first half was just a carry on from the abysmal showing in midweek at Huddersfield. We were a different side in the second half and Joooe is spot on - the subs turned everything on it's head.
Good to see Murray hitting the back of the net again. Tough, tough match up next at Watford on Friday night. Remember, the game is live on Sky Sports. |

Tough one this evening, although apart from that hiccup on the opening day of this season we have a pretty decent record against Watford. Hopefully a bit of vengeance is in order tonight.

Watford are going up for sure imo, so think we could be in for a bit of a loss tonight.
A win would be huge though! |

His form's been a bit off recently, hopefully he'll take the chance to impress his new team in front of the cameras. And get us the win, obviously!

First 25 minutes was yet another shocker from us, too many of these lately. But from that point on I thought we controlled the game and the second half especially we were terrific, just a shame we couldn't find that winner. |

Thought you came back very well.
As a Leicester fan I'm delighted with the result, but this race is going to the wire. |

good comeback from the lads but why oh why do we keep getting ourselves in to these holes in the first place lately? that first half hour was terrible. should have been 3-down not 2.
brilliant finish from Phillips for the equaliser. |

Terrible start again, but another great turnaround. Hopefully with Jedinak back in the team and Williams starting more games, we'll play like that second half more often!
A draw at this Watford side is a good result. |

Good call, Mark. Did you put money on it?
. Wonder how much 2-2 was though! Predicted the right result and goalscorers last week against Bolton too.. As for the game...we certainly got lucky to get a point despite the bright opening. Good tactical change by Holloway and we just let you run the midfield meaning we couldn't pass the ball well to our dangerous front men. Should have brought a midfielder on ourselves really.. Nevermind - overall a decent game and good support. Have to hope Peterborough and Brighton do us a favour. |

thought we took our foot off the pedal once we got it back to 2-2 so i'm a little disappointed we didn't go on and win... but i would have taken a draw before the game...
... great atmosphere, the palace fans once again outdid themselves, we just never stop singing! ![]() good news that leicester & middlesbro' lost today. |

A shame about Holloways ill informed rant, lost a lot of respect from me.
As a Watford fan that was one of the worst performances of the season from us, we should've finished it off in the first 30mins and were lucky to hold on for a draw in the end. Holloway let himself down though with his rant. He just came across as clueless, xenophobic and hypocritical. He complains about the loan system and Palace have 6 loans in their squad, only 5 in the matchday squad on friday though. Watford had 4 acadamy players in the squad compared to 2 from palace. Also the bias from sky was appalling. The media just don't like little old watford punching above our weight, who've found a sustainable non-risk way to stay competitive without debt or without throwing money around like cardiff and leicester have. Also the Palace support was excellent, they always are at the vic, except at the end of the game when about 20 or so seats were ripped up and one was thrown into the family end apparently. Other than that they were good. Good results in the rest of the games for both of us. Good luck for the rest of the season. I'd much rather you go up than Cardiff/leicester etc |

^ Obviously Watford haven't actually done anything wrong, but there's inconsistencies in the rules that clearly need fixing.
And fans from every club seem to think Sky is against them! They can't be against everyone.

And the Seaweed have done us a favour by beating Hull. It's game on for that second automatic promotion spot. Now, if only we could string a decent run together again...
