If Palace win the cup on Saturday we are out of it whatever else happens
Frankly if that happens my first thoughts are not likely to be "oh bother, that's really screwed up our European aspirations now"

Score line utterly flatters us. Continue in that vein in the second half and we will be very unlikely to win.

Good first half. Exciting football. Both teams playing well.

We deserve to be winning, they've had more chances - but we've had better ones.

A joke that the penalty got struck off - as it didn't touch Minteh and it was going in despite him.

...but justice was served as it was a clear penalty - delighted for Welbz.

Wieffer looking a real menace. Van Hecke = IMMENSE, riding the high of his POTS award.

O'Riley working hard, but not paying off for him yet. It's coming though. Watch this space.

Need a second goal. Bring on the 2nd half.

I don't think it does.

We've looked threatening, and have defended really well so far. There's more than one way to play the game. In many ways it's better that our defence is having things to do - much less likely to switch off.

O'Riley is quite frustrating isn't he. Gets into great positions - but then doesn't seem to quite know what to do with it.

Great first half to watch.
I never thought it would be his ability on the ball that let's him down. Just presumed it would be his physicality. But he's actually fit, presses well, holds position (all Hurzelers favourite things), but is really poor with the ball. This of course could just be a failure of my imagination. I just ASSUMED his ability would have been on the ball, having never seen him before he moved. Unfortunately he's part of the culture shift of the team. 2 years ago our identity seemed to be about maintaining possession, almost to a fault. Now it's more focused on fitness, athleticism and running. The result is we've lost the level.of wit and creativity with the ball.
