I didn't realise Palace had conceded 39 goals, that's unusual for a Hodgson team, and this should encourage us to take the game to them.

This and the fact we've beaten them in our last 2 meetings points to a good weekend, but both sides are stretched with injuries ATM, so a lot will depend on who reacts the best to such adversity, after a sobering week it would be good to right the ship again, and also increase the gap to Fulham, who face a difficult trip to Everton, prior to the 2 huge home games against Fulham and West Brom.

We're also chasing our 1st league double of the season, and to get that under our belts would be very satisfying.

And the time we last did the double on them was a long awaited away victory at Sellhurst Park after an awful, awful away record.

Consequently, they then did the double on us the next season.

Palace get a lot out of their fans at home so we should be able nick this one. If not well let's just make sure we don't lose to the next two.

It was 2016/17 season when we did the double over them, 3-2 at home and 2-0 at Selhurst with our only away win of the season in the next to last away game. They didn't do the double over us in the next season though, our first home win was against them when Chris Wood scored with Frank de Boer in charge at Palace. They did the double over us though in 2018/19.

Wasn't that 1-0 win Tom Heaton's injury and Nick Pope's league debut for us?

It was that one

Was anybody there in 1979?

They got their biggest ever attendance against us of over 51,000.

We'd nothing to play for other than making sure Palace went up. The win handed them the title but had we beaten them that night they would have finished fourth and not gone up. Sunderland would have gone up. That was the season of the Burnley v Sunderland bloodbath and Bob Lord wasn't going to want them going up. We knew we'd lost before we kicked off.

I was there for the last game of the season in 1983 the night we got relegated back to tier 3 football. 15 of us travelled down in a Tranny van it was an away match and performance I shall never forget, makes last Tuesdays match against Bournemouth seem like paradise next to that debacle.

Worst was to follow though we had to watch another 20 years of the same shite and some have a hissy about a cup defeat against Bournemouth

It's good when you can look back on history and experience. Other can't though!

That 83 game was such a let down. We’d played well to get a point at Leicester (without ever looking like winning) and with the cup runs that year I really thought we would treat this like a cup tie. In retrospect we did: like a Dyche cup tie. Utter bilge

We'll never get a better chance of winning at Palace, they have a lengthy injury list, including of course their talisman Zaha, and this is a damning stat when he's been missing.

Palace have lost 17 of their past 19 league games without Wilfried Zaha and failed to score in 15 of those defeats.

So if we can't get a result today, then we never will.

Positive ................. Win ......... 3 Points .................

Serves me right for looking up results on Google. Must have been the two losses in the same year I saw, but as you say, different seasons. Let's hope we're up for it today. Up the Clarets.
