Just watching Swansea batter Valencia in the Europa League. They are a very, very good side and we will do well to get a point against them on Sunday.

Hope we put up a better show than we did last time we played them at home , thought we were outclassed , lucky to get away with just three .

I remember that well. We got turned over far too easily in both games that season. Just been looking at our overall record against them, it's not particularly good!

Still, it's clubs like Swansea that we need to aspire to. Hopefully we can give them a good game.

Number of shots by Palace in the first half - none on target and none off target either!

no real width, so what was the point of bringing in all those wingers? no natural goalscorer either.

we got ourselves back in to the game as the half went on but you can see the difference in class.

0-2. game effectively over. can't believe Holloway didn't name a defender on the bench.

the way things are going this could be a complete thrashing.

Extremely poor today. Once again our passing and possession was atrocious for the majority of the game. Just what are they doing in training? Even simple passes keep going awry, it's just not good enough.

I wasn't sure about the starting XI today, either. Jerome & Chamakh up front? Surely that just invites long balls? As Tusk mentions above, no real width either. We could have played from now until Xmas and we still wouldn't have looked like scoring. And to not even have one defender on the bench was asking for trouble.

Any positives? Swansea not running up a huge score. I liked the look of Mariappa again. And once more the support was sensational. If we're not going to have a good time on the pitch this season we will certainly have a good time of it in the stands!

holloway - "I can't see a positive thing. We were awful, so I am very disappointed.
"I think we were completely outplayed by a better team and there is a lot of work for us to do."


outplayed, outclassed, out of our depth... that was painful today...

Pretty poor all round, we're trying to pass it but just aren't any good at it. The two positives for me:

I thought Bannan looked decent.

And my seat's been fixed after it broke against Sunderland.

Another blow - Damien Delaney is set to miss at least two matches with an ankle injury.

Link.

Marriappa moving into the centre then presumably?

And thankfully Joel Ward should be back at right-back. Ex-Portsmouth too, he should be well up for it.

This is comical. We just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. First, giving away possession just outside our own box leads to the first goal. Second, just like at Old Trafford, the wall does not jump for a free-kick and bang, it's 2-0. If Gabbidon had jumped it would have hit him.

we're clearly out of our depth. poor at the back, can't keep possession in midfield, and have no bite up front.

Put on a plate for Jerome. He skies it way over. Says it all.

I really don't get the formation we 're trying to play. Just looks a mess to me.

Definitely no light at the end of this very dark tunnel at the moment.

How long is Glenn Murray injured for, maybe if you guys can pick up a steady amount of points, lets say just in relegation zone, until he gets back, then he can help u
