Unbeaten League Run Ends in Leicester Mudbath

Live on Sky, , ,

Looking back tonight’s 1-0 defeat at Leicester City seemed like an all-too-familiar story which we all remember.

  • Palace playing below their best against Leicester City – check.
  • Despite a poor performance, Palace seem to hold on with relative ease – check.
  • In the dying moments a Leicester player scores the winner off their shin – check.

Thankfully for those of us who still have scars from the 1996 play-off final this was just a league game, and the winner was scored by Barry Hayles, not Steve Claridge. Still not a happy night though.

Clinton Salvages a Point

Clinton Morrison, Stuart Green, ,

When you go behind three minutes from time you don’t expect to get something from the game. Thankfully though Clinton Morrison’s equaliser – his 99th goal for Palace – managed to get us a 2-2 draw against Leicester City today. Stuart Green had previously given us a first-half lead.

I don’t know about anyone else, but after the great result on the opening day of the season I feel somewhat deflated about the season ahead. I was hoping the cup result against Bristol Rovers would be just a blip, but now I’m not sure what this season will bring. Personally I’m looking forward to next week’s televised clash with Ipswich Town to see how we look first-hand.
