I do not think he stopped us winning the game but he did not help us at all.....Wednesday made a lot of important fouls (for them) and stopped us going forward a lot. He failed to give some pretty obvious yellow cards, the first was Smyth for a rugby tackle which was correct decision but could & should have given a couple of Wednesday players but opted no to. My view is that he did not play very well at all. |

There will not be wholesale changes for the Millwall game.......
Looking at the game yesterday where we did OK but not enough to win the game and depending on fitness of players I would pick the following team.....
Nardi, Paal & Dunne (FBs), Edwards & either Cook/Morrison(CB's), Varane(DCM), Colback, Field, Smyth, Chair(??) M) & Frey/Lloyd(F).
Millwall an intimidating place to play, they are big & strong, we need some brave players in the starting 11. We have enough in the team/squad to beat them. |

He is a Ranger - 100%., he will not leave for another Championship Team. |

Seems a lot of money...£60 million.
I know a couple of Palace season ticket holders and they are telling me that Eze is very decent but not playing as well as he did last season......and the reason he is still at the club. |

You do not win anything without team spirit and togetherness.
I have felt we have had it for some time, we have a 'proper' team spirit here and even the subs and the players have been replaced during the game are all together despite being disappointed.
Winning is a team effort, one or two or three players will not win you the prizes. |

Reply | If all fit and firing, who's first choice at CB?
at 16:11 22 Jan 2025
They all have their own playing skills, not a lot between all of them.
Dunne is RB so will only play CB in a emergency.......Cook is the Captain so I would expect him to play. Out of the others I would suggest JCS would play providing fully fit otherwise Edwards with Fox being a very capable CB or maybe LB in a flat back 4 if Paal is unfit or needing of a rest. Plus not forgetting Morrison at times of need but could be a close starter.
Difficult for MC but good for him to have choices. [Post edited 22 Jan 16:14]

How many goals has Madsen cost us?? & how many Ashby?? Ashby is doing the basic things wrong & costing us goals.
Madsen needs time, it is very different in midfield where he has played and in the Championship. Last night he did OK when he came on but did no see much of the ball at his feet. |

It was generally poor defending but, whilst not 100% sure, I think he gave the ball away originally through pretty poor play.
I do not know if he was hooked or injured but what I can say, he was pretty poor with his distribution when he came on. |

MC is not the only reason we are 'where we are' but MC and his assistant (Calm) are the exceptionally important. |

Madsen worked pretty hard as far as I could see, kept the structure of the team in midfield as MC had set out at the beginning of the game, cleared a dangerous attack on the edge of the box, got forward.....wtf more do you want him to do when he comes on as sub. Compare that with Ashby and there is no comparison.
Whilst you should have your opinion....sadly, .it is very wrong. |

Not as good as he has been but still good enough for me last night.....we could have a 'proper' player here. |

Not nearly as bad as so many posters think, yes he had a bad game earlier in the season and cost us but so has most of the players.......you do not get to play as many matches as he has, represented his country and been a pro for a long time if you are a 'pixx poor' player.
Done very well since he has been playing recently and was never as bad as posters posted, a good pro and an asset to the R's. Been important team player since he arrived. |

Agreed, but some posters are just so blinkered. His positioning and work rate tonight was fine. |

I would suggest that he was not asked to do what Smyth does.....MC does know his players and what they can & cant do!!! [Post edited 21 Jan 22:25]

He took a knock, whether that forced him off I do not know but MC soon replaced him.
Posters moan about Marden but Ashby is a lot, lot worse. |

I am not sure but Colback may have had a reaction very early after coming on with his recent injury.....if fully fit then play him at Hull. |
