Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ez]

Can't believe we're actually above 8 clubs.

[Malandro]

There has to be a freak game, when we play well, surely!

[olaftab]

Lambert just said "we like to try to pass it".

to the opposition.

Our first win at Selhurst since a certain Mr Atkinson ran the length of the pitch and scored the goal of the season in 1992.

[saunders_heroes]

Such an important win for us tonight. 3 points on Sunday and we can breath a bit.
Oh and thank god Benteke is back.

[aev]

Just got back.

Can't tell you anything about the game as I was watching through my fingers.

As nice as it is to finally win unless we massively change our style of play we will be stuck in footballing purgatory for the foreseeable future.

Agree entirely.

Tonight was great to get the three points, but it was a perfect example of the weaknesses we suffer.

Inability to keep the ball, dropping deeper and deeper, Weimann and Gabby practically in a different post code to the rest of the players, all that stuff still in evidence.

Nope I'm wrong, Savo and Alan Wright Wright Wright scored two blinders in a 2-0 in 1997 I do believe.

Can't believe we're actually above 8 clubs.

Or,to put it another way, there's 8 clubs thinking 'how the fcuk are we below Villa'

[paul_e]

Hard to disagree with the other comments, a moment of brilliance in the midst of a truly disgraceful performance has probably kept Lambert in a job, I have no idea how we kept a clean sheet, palace were unbelievably shit in the final 3rd.

Because they're worse than us maybe?

[PaulWinch again]

Well that's simply delusional.

[Risso]

Nice to win, but I still think we'll be relying on there being 3 clubs worse than us by the end of the season, and the football is still rancid.

[ROBBO]

Think i'm in the majority that are thankful for the win but depressed that Lambert will be with us forever now.

[rjp]

I think it was after Southampton away last season I said we should have been wearing masks. After that match I'll add stripy jumpers and a bag with 'swag' written on it. Still, 3 points is all that matters.
