After the disappointment of the last week,we need the boost of a win tomorrow. Palace have turned their season around since Pulis took over and can go above us if they win tomorrow.
Having said that,their away record is not that clever 2W 0D 10L,5 goals for 19 goals against.
Looks as if Leon will be back but Shelvey and Michu still out. Tom Ince has given our players the motivation with his well publicised rantings,let's make him eat his words tomorrow.

OMG,our worst nightmare as lowly Palace overun us second half and could have won,as we conceded a penalty and Chico sent off.
It was a game of two halves as we dominated possession but only scored the one goal as Palace defended desperately.
Yet we were lucky to draw in the end,as we were run ragged by a Palace side rejuvenated by Pulis changing formation for the second half and pressing us high up the field.
They equalised with a penalty that wasn't,as the foul was outside the box. The linesman,who was in a better position,didn't flag,but the controversial Dean raced in from the half way line pointing to the spot and sent Chico off,without even consulting his linesman. Replays showed the foul was outside the box,and that there was no second contact in the box,as Pulis claimed afterwards.
We are right in the relegation mix now,and badly need this two week break to regroup and recover

I am putting the blame on A, subs made and B, WTF was Vorm doing out there.

The quality of our bench and depth of our squad has been poor all season,thanks to ML.
Today it was Amat,Canas,Taylor,Lita,Alvaro,Emnes,and Tremmel.
Once Pablo went off and Canas came on after 22 mins,we were limited to two subs,which were taken up by the illness of key men Bony (Lita) and Williams (Amat).
It's a mystery why Lita has suddenly come back into contention after being ignored for two seasons,and same as Alvaro,he offers us absolutely nothing,unfortunately. The pace of Yannick Bolasie tormented Davies second half,and it looked as if they were targeting our left sided weakness.
The next two of our subs were bad timing,as Palace were on the ascendency.Bony went off after 62 mins,and with Lita on,all our aerial threat and assisting of our defence disappeared with him,and with 6' 5" Dann easily controlling the diminutive Lita,the aerial bombardment continued.
Williams was next to leave on 69 mins,at the worst possible time,as Palace were lofting every ball at our defence,and A
