Great point. Well done lads.

Given the number of players we have signed it’s a fantastic start to the season. Hopefully as they gell and get a better understanding of each other we can only improve.

We were great there! Thing is, it's pretty simple and stating the obvious...we now have super talented players in every position. Palace did what they do...invite the opposition to have the ball, and for 75 minutes we accepted the challenge and looked really, really good. Fantastic point gained.

Roefs...i knew after 20 mins against West ham...he's the ****in business. Oozes class, a born keeper! May well end up being the signing of the season.

Mate is A Leeds fan and he thinks they’ll go down. Said their summer investment is pretty poor. Wishes they’d signed Sadiki!

They actually look decent but utterly toothless in the final third. Still only a penalty scored in 4 games. If you can’t score, keep a clean sheet. Failed on both. It looks ominous for them.

Robin Roefs is going to turn out to be the signing of the season for us

This is massive for us. We can win at home and pick up hard points away from home. Palace is a tough little ground to play at.

Some difficult choices for RLB but it’s a long season and they will all have a role to play.

As players come back from injury the may not be as rushed back as quickly given the depth of the squad which can only be a good thing.

If we could beat Villa we’d be double figure points through 5 games.

Would make it a stunning start.

I love that Trai looks every part a PL full back.

We now only need four points from our next six games to guarantee survival. No team has ever went down after having 11 points from the first 10 games.

Great point, concerns about us in the final third but that will come in time, it’s the hardest part of football and there’s a lot of new lads in there

It’s gonna be tough for the club to reject multiple £80m bids for Roefs in January mind.

Excellent gritty performance against a decent side. We definitely dont look out of place. A lot of teams will lose at Palace. Back 4 / 5 look solid. Rooooofs looks like a great find. Talent all over the park.
Thanks for another brilliant thread RTB. Haway the lads.

An away point against an established Premier League team, emotionally, feels almost like a win.

Now that would be typical SAFC if we’re the 1st team to achieve that feat.

It won’t happen tho.

Great team performance today, isidor though for me is not a starter. he's very good at coming on at 60 mins and probably the best at stretching the opposing team. Saying that though he done well today for the team

The only slight disappointment for me is both our wingers have not really been a goal threat at all yet this season. We need them to start contributing more to take the pressure off whoevers playing upfront for us.
