0-0 at half time.

full time: Cardiff 2 Palace 0

we seemed to be playing for a point today which is odd considering the good form we've been in.
judging that 2nd half we can have no complaints.

bit disappointed with dougies tactics yesterday if i'm being perfectly honest... i know i shouldn't complain after the run we've been on but i think after the way we have started this season we should have been more positive... it was like a step backwards with us playing for a point and maybe sneaking all 3 on the break...

Yeah, I had expected us to be more positive going in to the Cardiff game, we showed them a bit too much respect, but oh well, it's all a learning curve. We're doing tremendously well so far this season so we can't really moan when we lose one.

The Carling Cup Quarter-Final against Man United will be live on Sky Sports 2 on Wednesday, November 30th. The problem with that is we're scheduled to play Derby at home two nights later on Friday, December 2nd, a game also live on Sky.

i actually kinda hope that dougie goes full strength against united rather than derby...

Andy Dorman has agreed to sign on loan for Bristol Rovers until January 2nd.

We've signed Norwich City striker Chris Martin on loan until 2 January.

Seems Jon Williams may have broken his leg!

So gutted for him if it's true.

just heard about this. terrible news for the kid.
we can only hope it's not too severe and he makes as quick
a reovery as possible and that there are no long term effects.

Gutted for the lad. Just as he was beginning to establish himself.
Fingers crossed its not a really serious break and he has a speedy recovery.

Gutted about Joniesta, us Welsh fans have been following his progress with you guys for a while now.

reports saying it's a broken fibula and he's out for 14 weeks...
obviously best wishes to him in his recovery...

Got a bad feeling about the Leicester game, awful home record which has to give sometime , plus the new manager effect ( Donny result )

Yeah, I've got to admit that I would gladly take a point from the Leicester game right now.

it's going to be very tough today. we haven't won there for 16 years.
maybe we due a victory? hopefully we are more positive then we
were at Cardiff.

I just blinked. Big mistake.

leicester 3 palace 0

we seem to have hit a bit of a wall of late... suddenly we can't seem to score and look impotent up front... add to that our defence is half asleep and it's not the right kind of form we want to be taking in to the millwall game!

What I can't fathom is why we've suddenly switched to playing 4-5-1 the past few games when we were doing so well playing 4-4-2? It's no coincidence that we've stopped scoring since the changes.

Dougie & Lennie better get it sorted for Saturday as we owe Millwall big time for last season.

We switched to 4-5-1/4-3-3 for Brighton and won, so we kept it going.

Think it's about time we changed back though, to give Murray some support.

Just like last year, I think we rely too much on Zaha. Then when he fails to create something we're screwed.

to be fair it was more 4-3-3 against Brighton especially in that second half when we completely dominated. good times!

we definitely need to switch back to 4-4-2. we're being too negative again and showing too
much respect to the opposition when we should be more confident about our own abilities.

and i would rather us lose 3-0 while being positive and trying to win a game than sitting
back, playing defensively and hoping to get a point.

We have secured the loan signing of Dekel Keinan from Cardiff City, until January.

Really hope we do the business today. Don't think I could bear it if we failed against Millwall again. Last seasons results are still etched in to the memory!

todays team:

Speroni, Clyne, McCarthy (c), Gardner, Garvan, Scannell, Jedinak, Zaha, Murray, Moxey, Martin


Subs: Lewis Price, David Wright, Jonathan Parr, Darren Ambrose, Jermaine Easter

final score: Palace 0 Millwall 0

thats 5 games without a goal. Murray missed a penalty.
i dread to think what United will do to us on Wednesday night on this current form.

Not the best of games and another disappointing result but on another day we would have won that game, I felt we were the better team overall.
The penalty miss was obviously a major downer but we should have had at least one other.

that was another game i'd rather forget quickly... we edged it but even when we got the penalty i knew we would miss...

...gotta hope we're saving all our goals for old trafford!
