It would be ironic if he did go to QPR and Palace stayed up but QPR went down

Tomorrow's gonna be bloody tough! With a group of players who must be worn out and a manager waiting to leave, it'll be a huge ask to get anything from the game.

Brendan Guilfoyle remains confident of a quick sale
He said: "We are in face to face discussion with a number of interested parties and a 14-day extension gives them the necessary time to understand the purchasing process and to finalise their offers."

The new closing date for any of the 36 parties to lodge a formal bid for the club is 5pm on Friday 12th March.

I've become eally concerned about today. It was going to be a difficult game anyway but all this speculation of it being Warnock's last game can't be good for the players. We can't really afford to lose this one, that could shatter any morale we have left completely.

line-up for todays match:

Palace :- Speroni, Butterfield, Davis, Lawrence, Hill, Clyne, Derry, Carle, Djilali, Lee, Ambrose.

Subs: Andrew, Scannell, Hills, Comley, Mann, N'Diaye, Ertl.

Claude Davis off injured after only 6 minutes. Lee Hills is on.

bit of a scare there. donny goal ruled out for offside.

Second Donny goal ruled out for offside, now! Get it sorted, Palace!

goal down.

Half-time. 1-0 to Donny.

This isn't looking good at all.

sheff wed, qpr, plymouth & peterboro all losing. scunny & ipswich drawing. we need to get at least a point from this game.

These were the half-time stats.

Possession

* Doncaster 60%
* Crystal Palace 40%

Attempts on target

* Doncaster 5
* Crystal Palace 0

Attempts off target

* Doncaster 6
* Crystal Palace 0

Corners

* Doncaster 4
* Crystal Palace 4


Fouls

* Doncaster 7
* Crystal Palace 3

^ that's not good. no shot on or off target in the entire half!

ertl is now on for hills.

Djilali equalises!! 1-1.

get in!! come on!!

sheff wed 5 down. their goal difference is taking a hammering today.

We still sound very dodgy at the back but at least we're offering more in attack, now.

elsewhere, scunny, qpr, plymouth & peterboro all losing as well as sheff wed. ipswich still drawing.

Full-time: Doncaster 1-1 Palace

Taking everything into consideration that's a good point for us, especially after the dismal first half showing. It also takes us out of the bottom three.

definitely a good point when you look at the other results. ipswich drew but peterboro, plymouth, sheff wed, qpr and scunny all lost.

hopefully that 2nd half has helped us mentally and at least we have a week off now to rest up a bit.

Just heard Warnock on the radio. When asked if he will still be red & blue next week,
he replied: "You will have to wait and see."

i think he's gone, or as good as. we just have to wait and see if anyone or whom is put in charge for the next game.

All things considered, it could have been worse. Oh, for the days of mid-table anonymity (which are actually quite rare, it's either play-offs or relegation on the last day of the season with Palace).

God, yeah, that would be great. The irony is that after the last 4 results, mid-table is where we would have been heading if we never suffered the points deduction.

that's the sickener of it. we'd be sitting about 10th right now. ok, we probably wouldn't have made the play-offs but at least we wouldn't be in a panic about relegation. all i keep thinking about is last day of the season when we play sheff wed. just how huge is that game gonna be!?

Doncaster 1 - 1 Crystal Palace
