Hamer - 7 Awesome effort at the end. Solly - 7 Took him a while to tame Zaha Morrison - 6.5 Came forward well. Cort - 6.5 Played well Pritchard - 4 over run Hollands - 5 anonymous Stephens - 6 Played better in the first half Jackson - 4 too slow Kermorgant - 5 disappointing Wright Phillips - 7 Not fed well by midfield
Wilson - 7 played well against a dangerous winger Fuller 6 might have scored, dangerous
Wiggins n/very poor. Zaha roasted him Green n/a should start instead of Jackson.
Hamer 7 Solly 7.5 Morrison - 7 Cort -7 Pritchard - 5 - Sorry fella, you won't be starting the next game and will be lucky to make the bench. League 1 is your level and that is no disgrace. Hollands - 5.5 - Not convinced. Needs to be improve fast. Stephens - 7 - Best midfielder by far. Makes some wrong decisions though when easy balls are on. Jackson - 5 Sorry Skip - Looks like League 1 for you as well. Pity. Kermorgant - 5 - Not a good game. But needs better service. Wright Phillips - 7 - Worked hard and also needs service so we give him shooting chances. Wilson - 4.5 - All over the show. Worried. Please improve quickly. Fuller - 6.5 - Should have buried the header. But looks like he could be a class signing. Start him
Wiggins n/a - Roasted. Green n/a - Looked eager and some decent play. Give him some more game time.
Hamer 7 did ok, nearly scored. Solly 7 - Solid as usual against a tricky winger Morrison 6 solid Cort 6 solid Pritchard 4 - did nothing of note Hollands 5 ok in first, anonymous in 2nd.....again. Stephens 6 thought he did ok Jackson 3 was he playing? Kermorgant 3 - poor Wright Phillips 5 - not much better
Hamer 7 A very solid game, great header at the death Solly 6 Was troubled by Palace wingers but a few good forward movements Morrison 7 Solid game, kept a good shape. Cort 7 Solid game, kept a good shape. Pritchard 5.5 Did some nice defensive work but little going forwards Hollands 6 Solid defensively but little going forwards Stephens 6 Solid defensively, offered most going forwards but little end product and his failure to pass to BWP when Palace central defence was split was woeful Jackson 5 Not as solid defensively and little going forward (Most off the pace) Kermorgant 6 Won his share of headers but unable to hold the ball up. Service poor Wright Phillips 7.5 Some great movement, took his goal well, worked hard but lacked service MOM
Wilson 5.5 Was troubled by Palace wingers but a few good forward movements Fuller 7 Somehow managed to be busy with little service
Hamer 7 - most of their crosses went straight to him but made saves when he needed to and of course the header at the end! Solly 7 - coped well with switching to left back and made good forward runs as well as dealing with zaha pretty well most of the time Morrison 7.5 solid, looked really composed on the wall and played it out of defense well, a few quality challenges as well. Cort 7 - solid and won most arial battles. Pritchard 5 - started ok (at best) but seemed to tire very quickly and tbh got progressively worse the longer he stayed on Hollands 6 - wasn't bad but didn't offer an awful lot going forward, but was ok defensively. Stephens 6.5 - a few quality passes and runs but missed some easy balls that would have split open their defense and seemed to go missing for periods of the game. Jackson 5 - simply too slow. so disappointed for him as he seems a top bloke and was absolutely quality last season Kermorgant 6 - won headers but they all seemed to end up going to palace players and they seemed to realise that we only tried to attack by lumping it to him and bwp so marked him well. Wright Phillips 7.5 - was quality first half, obviously scored but unfortunate for him and us that it didn't count. also worked really, really hard.
Wilson - 6.5 did ok after coming on obviously not expecting to. looked exposed and weak defensively at times, made a couple of good overlapping runs past green but some poor crosses and that shot at the end... Fuller - 6 - didn't have many chances today but did really well every time he got on the ball. looks like with game time he could be a class above championship defenders and i think he should start tuesday.
Wiggins n/a - shame he had to come off. Green n/a - looked good after coming on, quick and skillful, decent crosses.
Hamer 6.5 - Didn't have much to do, nearly bloody scored. Would have been surreal. Solly 6.5 - Skinned by Zaha a couple of times but his presence and doggedness stopped decent end products. Morrison 7 - Didn't really put a foot wrong, future captain if he sticks around I feel. Cort 7 - Same as above, comfortable containing Murray. Pritchard 5.5 - I'm a fan of his normally but wasn't at the races tonight sadly, along with most of the team. Hollands 5 - Ineffective for the most part. Again, like the guy, but nowhere to be seen at times. Stephens 7 - Tried to get on the ball, a few nice touches, did his job. Jackson 4.5 - Hate giving Jacko such a poor rating but can't reflect on much input. That's the problem. Kermorgant 5.5 - Anonymous by his usual high standards. Hopefully a one-off Wright Phillips 6 - Looked fairly sharp but starved of the ball. Often coming short to receive, never hides.
Wilson 4.5 - Shot at the end summarised his performance. Below par. Too early to judge perhaps but not looking good. Fuller 6.5 - Promising cameo, other players seem to look for him. Will be starting imminently I feel.
For what it's worth, think Green changed the game in our favour when he came on. Looked a threat, should start on Tuesday.
hamer 7 solid game not too much to do just wish that header had gone in solly 6.5 struggled slightly with zahas pace and trickery at times but overall delt with well considering he had to switch flanks morrison 7 solid as usual cort 6 good in the air bit suspect in terms of positioning though pritchard 5 very poor and definitely not much of a right winger green did more in 5 mins than he did all game hollands 7 couple good balls and as usual good and strong in the tackle stephens 8 fantastic at times in the first half could be a very good player this season jackson 5.5 slow and doesnt offer much to the team at the moment just hope im wrong in thinking he may not be good enough kerm 6 very quiet for him but won the majority of headers but he does that every game bwp 6.5 should of had a goal if it wasnt for the lino but gave the ball away cheaply at times wilson 5 couple decent touches but looked very nervous and the crowd getting on his back didnt help
Hamer 7 -great last minute cameo but looked confident. No chance with goal Solly 7 - Did well on the wrong side Morrison 6 - Didn't look troubled Cort 6- Looked solid Pritchard 4 - Out of his depth last night. Hollands 4 - Anonymous Stephens 6 - Best of the midfielders (talk him up to get a better fee in Jan) Jackson 4 - Disappointing Kermorgant 5 - Not given any space Wright Phillips 6 - Unlucky to have the 'goal' disallowed
Wilson 7 - Did well, especially from dead balls and crosses Fuller 6- Missed a few half-chances but at least was in the right place.
Stephens was, as ever, absolutely useless. He gives the ball away, he never wins a tackle, he's hopeless. I can only assume Aston Villa offered £2.50, as I'd take a fiver for him!
Hamer 8 could do nothing about the goal. Unlucky with his header Solly 8 played well at both RB and LB Morrison 6 Cort 6 Pritchard 5.5 Hollands 5 Stephens 5.5 Jackson 5 Kermorgant 5.5 Wright Phillips 6.5
I, and everyone around where I sit, were obviously watching a different game. Some very high scores being given for the worst league performance against Palace I can recall (I've been going since 1985)
It's interesting to note that the scores are quite high on here compared to what you'd expect from a lot of the comments on the other threads. Just wasn't our night
I was just thinking same thing, after reading other strands I expected to see several players crucified on here, not so !
Hamer 7 - Could not nothing about the goal. I thought he was solid and could have been a legend at the end. Solly 7 - I thought he did well considering he was playing on the left for most of the game. But back to RB Tuesday please. Morrison 7 - I thought he was solid and moved the ball out of defence well. Cort 7 - Solid enough, but i don't think he or any of the defence were protected by the midfield at all. Pritchard 4 - Sorry he is not a winger and Powell should not be playing him out there. He doesn't have the pace for a winger. Hollands 5 - Very quiet and Palace seemed to be able to beat him easily. Stephens 7 - I thought he did very well last night. Alongside a proper defensive midfielder he could be allowed more freedom. Jackson 5 - Sorry Jacko you do not have the pace for this league. Love the guy and wouldn't mind him moving into the CM. Kermorgant 6 - Very very quiet game by his standards. Most of the time forgot he was playing. A rare performance. Wright Phillips 6.5 - Goal should have stood and i think he put in a lot of effort and looked quicker than the guys around me were saying all game.
Wilson 6 - He did OK, but thats it for me. He shows a lot of urgency but needs to learn to tackle. Fuller 6.5 - Looked dangerous when he came on, but there is no point having a striker of his quality if all you are going to do is punt it up front from the back.
Wiggins n/a 6 - Have to admit he looked like was struggling. Green n/a 7 - Game changed when he came on. With our strikers we need a winger.
