Hang on, its the same players taken off no matter how well they are playing, Enzo plays every game and is very rarely subbed off even when he is crap (which is most games), any player can get injured in a game, in fact Caicedo had been booked and could have got another yellow in the first half, what would you have been saying if he had been sent off, he should have been subbed at HT, i will bet you that Estevao will be back on the bench for the next game, Garnacho will play on the left and the yes mans pet, Neto will play on the right

I would have been saying it was pointless to keep him on, we should have subbed him once the game was won.

Just watching the highlights again.

We had 9 outfield players in the 6-yard box for their goal LOL.

Sanchez seemed upset with Enzo after that goal. I think Enzo actually got in his way. It was a fantastic save from him on the line to stop the initial header. Sloppy goal to give away but not the first time this season we've struggled defending a set piece.

Good result. Probably the best we've played under Rosenior so far, though there's still massive scope for improvement.

The first half of the second half was great. I thought after the Palace red card, we looked out of shape and lacked a ruthless edge which was a little disappointing to see.

Palace look like a broken club at the moment.

I think we lost a bit of shape after the subs more than anything. Palace did at least show some fight after going down to 10 but I agree they look low on confidence. With the teams below them starting to win regularly they could be pulled into a relegation battle.

If Delap actually does what he's supposed to, which is challenge for the ball, then this goal doesn't happen.

I've seen a few times now Delap completely losing his runner or not challenging a defensive header.

Delap strikes me as someone we sell this year or the next to a newly promoted side, or someone like a Leeds or Everton, for 35mill.

Classic goal mouth scramble... Allerdyce would be proud of their goal. Good that Sanchez wants clean sheets.

The subs were made because we have no midfielders.. we played all 4 possible options in the match .. Reece Santos Caicedo and Enzo.. bought of Reece and Caicedo both needed to for different reasons .. so we ended up with Hato and Gusto in midfield and lost control.. it was quite clear that this would happen to be honest.. maybe he could have bought on the youngster enzo loved I forget his name .. but with no Lavia and Eussogo.. we had no option.

Lavia and Essugo likely won't be available until march at least too. So our midfield options aren't going to change much in the short term. Maybe explains why we have been linked with a few midfielders on loan

Sick of this taking Estevao off, he was best player on the pitch by a mile, done bugger all after he went off, the yes man being told to give minutes to the donkeys so they can sell them (Delap, Kittens, Badieshille)

Mate.

You seem to love getting your knickers in a twist about things that might happen but probably won’t.

Also I don’t think you’ll find many that agree with your point above. Game was won. Why wouldn’t you take off our best player in those circumstances? You’d probably criticise the manager for not taking him off if he ended up injured.

Common sense. You must be new here.

Just another in a long line of posters who rage at everything to show how amazing a fan he is, its so f**king tedious.
