| O'Keefe got a rare start in place of KG |
This was never going to live up to the reverse fixture at
Selhurst. It’s nothing to do with the recent form, it’s more that you rarely
get games like that one.
Going into the game, the home side had picked up some kind
of form. Since losing Eddie Howe back to Bournemouth and appointing former
Watford manager Sean Dyche, they have been in touching distance of the play off
places. And it’s not an easy place to go and get a result and so we found out.
As expected, it was far from a classic and the first half
was nothing to write home about. The second period Palace had a lot more about
them and grew in confidence as the minutes passed. But it was Burnley that scored
the winner late on and very much against the run of play. A rather lost looking
Stanislas suddenly found himself in space and had time to fire an effort past
Speroni and into the top corner. Even at that late stage Palace had the chance
to equalise through a looping header by Captain Jedi which came back off the
crossbar. Perhaps a fair result would have been the draw but you don’t always
get what you deserve.
View from
TheEaglesBeak; Inconsistency is costing us at the moment but we are only three
points off that 50 point barrier ... The sooner the transfer window closes the
better, and we will know what we have or not as the case may be.
