Good news - we are far the better team.
Bad news - yet another mistake gifts the opposition a goal. How many is that now of late?

If Peterborough beat Sheff Wed this evening we can really dump Millwall in to the relegation mire on Tuesday night by beating them. Just a great shame we have no idea how to win a game any more.

I go into every game feeling excited and come away every time feeling let down.

Still, a win at Millwall gets us the Play-Offs now. Can we actually do it?

3 points won't just guarantee as a play-off spot it would also guarantee a semi-final against Brighton!

On current form, Brighton would obliterate us over the two-legs.

Best case scenario for us IMO, is Watford pipping Hull to second, and us finishing sixth. Then we would play Hull and I would much rather that!

Absolutely! With Murray scoring a last minute winner!

with millwall and peterborough still needing the points to be sure of survival and taking in to consideration our awful form (no win in 8 games now!) i can't see us winning our last 2.... i reckon 2 draws at best...

As an outsider looking in, Freedman seems to be the key here.
Palace have faded badly and Bolton have come from nowhere since he joined them.
Is it as simple as that or is there more to it?

We haven't done too badly under Holloway but we have certainly hit a wall in the last eight games and to be honest I'm not sure why. Fatigue, team selection, tactics, could all be a part of that.

That said, there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that if Freedman had stayed we would have finished in the top two.

The manager change didn't help, but it's hard to know how we would have done without it though.

We were looking incredible at the point Freedman left. But given some of the previous average football we'd had before it, it's hard to say if we'd have kept up those standards anyway.


A bit of good news heading into the last week - Zaha wins PFA POTY. And he, Bolasie and Murray make the team of the year.

Aye, brilliant news. Bolasie was a nice surprise.

^ Let's hope it gives them a boost before tonight.

Feels like the biggest Palace/Millwall game in years!

Nice to see Zaha get the award, I hope that he contributes to your last matches.

we really need 2 wins from these last 2 games. we got have at least some kind of form and morale booster if we are to face the Seaweed over 2 legs.

tonight's team:

Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Gabbidon, Moxey, Jedinak, Garvan, Dikgacoi, Zaha, Murray, Bolasie

Subs : Price, Ramage, Wilbraham, Williams, Moritz, Phillips, Dobbie

Millwall 0-0 Palace

that was dismal all round. 9 games without a win and another game where we failed to score. might be a blessing if we finish 7th.

Desperate stuff once again. Right now, I can't see us getting more than a point on Saturday, not with Posh needing a win.

It really wouldn't surprise me at all if we drop out of the top six now. I fully expect Bolton to beat Blackpool so it may well come down to what happens in the Forest v Leicester game.

I'm just delighted it's at home - I'd never expect us to get anything away.

Thankfully a point should now be fine, assuming Leicester don't collapse.

Fully expecting the worst now tomorrow, so anything positive happening will be a bonus.

Still, it's nice to finish a season without having to worry about staying up for a change!
