By Luke Osman Goals from Jeffrey Schlupp and Max Meyer against Doncaster Rovers booked Crystal Palace their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday. The Eagles headed into the clash at the Keepmoat Stadium knowing that a win would secure them their passage through to the final eight of the competition after seeing off Grimsby Town and Tottenham Hotspur in the previous rounds. Roy Hodgson rotated his team, but they were comfortable throughout and took the lead after eight minutes as Schlupp’s deflected effort finished off a slick counter-attack from the visitors. On the stroke of half-time, Palace doubled their lead courtesy of Meyer. Andros Townsend put Luka Milivojevic’s inch-perfect pass across to the German, who quickly dispatched.

A Dundee victory would have propelled us above the Accies and out of the bottom two but Hamilton were hoping for the ‘new manager’ bounce that some teams produce after the appointment of a new head coach just days prior to our clash. We had a busy January window which saw arrivals in abundance through the door at Dens Park with no fewer than five players made their debuts for us in a clash that I said a week earlier was a ‘must win.’ It was one of our debutants Scott Wright who opened the scoring in this crucial game when he slotted home with twenty-five minutes left to play. It looked like Dundee would claim that all important win but with the game heading into the 91st minute, Hamilton silenced the Dundee support by taking advantage of a poor goalkeeping clearance to level the score and keep the gap between the teams the same. It was a …read more

By admin Aaron Wan-Bissaka is having what is commonly described (in modern football parlance) as a “breakout season” for Crystal Palace, prompting mountainous speculation over his immediate future and just like clockwork, it appears everyone’s least favourite truth benders at The Sun are fuelling the flames.

By Tom Gott saka ​Borussia Dortmund are reportedly preparing a £40m bid for Crystal Palace starlet Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as they seek to fight off interest from both Chelsea and Manchester City.

As a result, he has found himself linked with a move to many of the Premier League’s elite, and Palace will face a fight to keep the right-back when the summer transfer… …read more

By Alfonso Greenbrook In this week’s e-Crystal Palace Podcast, I review the game against Fulham by bringing you my match report, player ratings as well as my Man of the Match. Palace completed the double over their London rivals Fulham in their 2-0 win. Luka Milivojevic scored from the penalty box in the 25th minute, after a handball from Cyrus Christie, whilst two minutes from time Jeffrey Schlupp scored his 4th of the season, after some good work from new signing Michy Batshuayi. Who should start in midfield; James McArthur, Jeffrey Schlupp or Max Meyer? Will Manchester City make an offer for Aaron Aaron Wan-Bissaka or is it just paper talk? How good was it to see Christian Benteke again? Will Michy Batshuayi provide us with the goals we need? All this and more in this week’s e-Crystal Palace Podcast.
