Didn't manage to go or hear the RL commentary, but after talking last night & this morning to a few who went the general feeling was that we looked far better in the second half after MDV got took off. The opinion was that he contributed very little and there was far more movement up front after Hume replaced him. Disappointment also with Newton, although he had a lot of the ball nothing creative ever seemed to come of it. Clemence & Weso did well in midfield with Clemence edging MOTM ahead of Kisnorbo. Pretty solid at the back but a few errors by MaCauley. One positive comment was that it was good to see a proper left back at last. All were unhappy about the result but said they would have settled for that before the kick off.
Sunday Times fairly criticial:
FOR Crystal Palace, a curate’s egg of a week. A trouncing of Southampton, elimination from the Carling Cup by lowly opposition and now a point against a team who had come to south London seemingly with no ambitions beyond nullifying their opponents
For all their changes to the playing staff during the close season – there have been 12 additions to the squad - Leicester have rarely looked as if returning to the Premier League is a likelihood.
Doesn't sound much like what others, and John Salako, reported
