I'm currently sat on a train talking to two Palace fans who both reckon that RHJ is up there with the best defenders seen at Palace this season on his performance tonight. Simply outstanding...
HE played excellent today maybe Wilkinson deserves some praise aswell for getting here last season. RHJ has responded brilliantly from his performance against FGR.

Hard to single anyone out last night but also thought Martin Woolford was brilliant

Wonder if Danny had.a quiet word in Mitches ear on how to deal with Zaha and my god I bet Zaha was pee'd right off...having a league 2 midfielder, playing right back, Zaha must've thought all his Christmas's had come at once but little did he know....Mitch didn't give him an inch, Zaha tried all the tricks, flicks and occasionally Chu ked himself down liking a dying swan and Mitch Rose just stuck to his task....Premier League?you're having a laugh!!!!....

Favourite bit of Roses defending yesterday was when Zaha went down in the middle of the pitch, play carried on but Rose stood next to Zaha until he got up. Talk about man marking

Nobody in that back line was playing in their natural position. Mitch looked a bit shaky at right back against Mansfield but yesterday he was superb.
Embleton showed the other side to his game. Special mention to Harry Cardwell for me who spent the last 25 minutes man marking Connor Wickham in the centre of a flat back 5.
This team need our full backing now. Each and every one of those players fight to the bitter end and play for each other. Amazing how Clifton couldn't get a look in under Hurst, Bignot or Slade yet Jolley has selected him from day one and he has been superb for us.

I thought MJ's responses to Roy's changes in tactics showed real clarity of thinking and that our players where able to adapt so quickly showed real character as well as underlining that the coaching is going in the right direction. I like Rose as he always tries to get the ball down and is incredibly calm especially on spot kicks. He's still relatively young but shows real maturity in the way he plays, like I said above we need to be talking to him now about an extension as he could be a very important player in MJ's long term plans. Speaking of maturity I fully agree both Embleton covering Woolly and Cardwell in his defending looked ahead of their years but you could also add Hess, Harry Clifton and RHJ to that list as well.

Zaha went for a poo after the game. When he turned round to reach for the paper Mitch handed it to him, still six inches behind, breathing down his neck

Is he in MJ's long term plans as he hasn't been first choice until the recent injuries. As for yesterday I thought his indiscipline let him down, gave away too many petty free kicks which he ended getting booked for then gave another away when Zaha was going nowhere and that one cost us the game.
