First half, WBA were a lot more positive than I was expecting from (a) the XI selected, and (b) a Tony Pulis managed team. Second half, they were pretty much exactly as I expected.
Glad to see him doing well. You have to wonder at the Board's plan for our forward line when Jay is playing first team football at WBA and we are starting Shane Long and Redmond. I was ok with him being sold on the assumption we'd see a decent replacement, but nah. If he was here I'd be wanting to play him down the left with Gabbiadini down the middle.

And that was a penalty all dayyyyy long.
More bad news for Palace Crystal Palace will be without striker Christian Benteke, 26, for at least six weeks as he recovers from a knee injury. (Daily Telegraph)
With Connor Wickham injured too, I can't actually think of another striker in their squad, excluding youth team. I think Rickie is still available, if Roy wants another Scotland moment.
Please, no, I couldn't bear to see Rickie playing for them. I think I'd rather he signed for Harry Redknapp's next club!
I wouldn't begrudge Rickie topping up his pension fund. He's on the final straight now. Hoping the next part of his story is still in football, but I don't think it will be.
Looks as though Palace's record will continue after today. 5Live commentators disgusted at their lack of effort...
And one of those two teams really struggled to steal a win aginst us 7 days ago. There is something in us, we just need to get it out regularly.
Ha. Slow, flat, defensive, undynamic, slow, ponderous and slow. And didn't get the striker they obviously needed. Sounds sort of familiar actually, but at least ours aren't on 6 year 120k contracts.
