full-time - Palace 1-1 Blackpool

Glenn Murray gets his first goal for us. a good point i think.

definitely take a point from this one... 1st half wasn't too good... too many wayward passes but 2nd half was real good... could have snatched it at the end if murray hadn't of missed that sitter!

A well-earned point and a fair result overall. We got better as the game went on.
Good to see Murray score but once again really good to see us not give up again and keep going and going until we got something.

It's been a very promising start to the season - long may it continue!

This has been the best thing about the last few games. Great to have a team that keeps fighting.

Forgot to add - it was nice to see the Reeves family out on the pitch at half-time and the support they got after what happened to their store and livelihoods in the recent riots.

I keep reading that Fulham want Zaha for around £2 million. Think he will be sold if they bidded for him?

If Fulham do want him I can't believe for a second that CPFC2010 would sell for £2million. The bid would have to be at least double that IMO.

And in all honesty surely it would have to be a huge bid to even tempt CPFC2010 in to selling as Dougie is trying to build something around players like Zaha.

we've managed to extend peter ramage's loan until january and the SLP is reporting we now have Tunchev until november.

Would have prefered more permanent signings but it's better than nothing and our defence looks much better now. A bit odd we only get Tunchev until November and not January, though.

Alassane N'Diaye has left the club.
Contract cancelled by mutual consnet.

good luck to him but lets be honest he won't really be missed.

The Pedroza transfer saga continues. Richard Cawley of the SLP tweeted yesterday that the deal should have been done yesterday PM but we still await any confirmation.
This has gone on for weeks now, he better be worth it after all this!

it is bizarre. he did play 45 minutes today for our reserves in the 1-0 win over Charlton.
Dorman got the goal.

At last, it's confirmed! One of the longest Palace transfer sagas is finally over. Welcome Antonio Pedroza.

full-time:

leeds 3 palace 2

becchio and mccormack with the 2nd half goals for leeds. we had lots of chances and blew it.

At least we seen to be having a go this season after the Peterborough game that is , a vast improvement on last season where the strategy seemed to hang on for a point from kick off , with the usual dire results to follow .

Brighton won again

Pleased with the general performance if not the end result. We certainly have more about us this season, that is plain to see already in the first half-dozen games. A pity we fell in to the trap of last season by conceding late again away from home, hopefully that won't happen as much this season.

annoyed that we didn't at least get a draw at Leeds but unlike last
season i feel we will learn from that.

Wigan tonight in the cup. hopefully we get to see the Palace
old boys returning.

palace 2 wigan 1

ambrose and williams with the goals to see us through to a clash with middlesbro'

Really enjoyed that. Williams is gonna be some player!

A shame we don't have someone more exciting in the next round, but at least it's a game we can win.

He sure is. He was very impressive again. Just hope we can keep hold of him!

First half was a bit scrappy bit overall I thought we were the better team and looked more than comfortable.

Murray had a stormer.

forgot to say in my earlier post... brilliant win and well deserved... wigan had a lot of the ball but i never felt we weren't in control...
murray was brilliant as was williams and it was good to see ambrose having a decent game again...
