We're in need of a point or three after a run of defeats, incredibly Town are still in sight of other strugglers just above us. Will their new manager give them a bounce following Roy's departure lets hope not? Once again our injury problems will leave us short of some key players. COYH!! Eagles Trivia. Selhurst Park was designed by architect Archibald Leitch which opened in 1924. Leitch designed over twenty football grounds including Goodison, Roker Park, Craven Cottage and Ibrox.  Archibald Leitch. |

I'm virtually out of trevia, but: The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs were the creation of one of the best-known natural history sculptors of his time, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807-1894). Waterhouse Hawkins's dinosaur sculptures were commissioned in 1852 and the finished models were unveiled to the public in 1854.  1854 was a couple of years before my first visit to Selhurst Park. I was an occasional attendee during the early/mid 1950's when visiting/staying with my Granddad, Uncle and Aunty in West Norwood. In those days behind one of the goals was a grass bank. |

One point salvaged or three points dropped? Another goal given by sloppy play and we suffered the majority of the game struggling to make a mark. Was Woodrow's goal out first effort on goal? I'm struggling to think of another.
Any highpoints, yes a couple for me. Mengi again, Hashioka looks a good buy, Burke gets through another 90 minutes thankfully and Kabore and Doherty are better at attacking than defending.
Next game, fingers crossed that we can find 11 fit players.
