Whether this was the plan anyway, who knows. But now he needs them to get his side out of a scrape. Jean-Philippe Mateta is being readied. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS A chance for Palace! A crunching challenge from Clinton Antwi, who has barely been on the pitch 10 minutes, on Will Hughes and he sees red immediately. No arguments there. Even VAR isn't having a look at that. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Considering Oliver Glasner's outburst following defeat by Manchester United a couple of weeks ago, it will be interesting to see his reaction tonight if this game stays like this. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say My my. It's a good job Crystal Palace didn't get qualification for the Europa League, clearly struggling with squad depth in a lesser competition. Perhaps they can stop moaning about Forest now! John C, Weymouth Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports Glasner just needed to shore up the back and the middle. Up front he can still give these young guys a go. This game just goes to show that first team football is ruthless. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Palace give the ball away in the middle of the park but are able to win it back further up the pitch. It's tough going out there at the moment for the hosts. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS I should say that as things stand Palace drop to 15th in the league table. They would enter the play-off phase to try to reach the knockouts. That's two more games Oliver Glasner could really do without. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Changes also for the visitors. On come Paulo Ricardo and Mohamed Toure. Off go Taneli Hamalainen and Petteri Pennanen. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports It's more of a contest now. Ku PS have the wind in their sails.

Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Talk about commentators curse, dear me. .. Greg Cole, Warks Yes apologies Greg. I was trying not to highlight that I had just said Palace were yet to concede a single shot. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS VAR had a good long look at that but the original decision stands. It was actually Petteri Pennanen who had strayed offside, he nudged the ball along for Piotr Parzyszek. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports It's a worry for Palace. Ku PS are cutting through their defence far too easily. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Goodness me, Ku PS almost make it 3-1 as Saku Savolainen gets in behind the defence and sends a teasing ball into the box for Piotr Parzyszek to poke home. The offside flag shoots up immediately. But VAR will have a look at this. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports That's not a penalty. You can see the reaction from Kriedl, really not happy at all. Uche got a little bit on the ball and then went down. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS It's certainly livened up a bit since Ku PS went ahead. Christantus Uche goes down in the penalty area after goalkeeper Johannes Kreidl leaves a foot dangling but the referee waves claims away. Crystal Palace 1-2 Ku PS Lucy Ward Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports You could sense that Ku PS thought they could get something as soon as they got that first goal. They put the pressure on and it lead to a bit of shakiness. It's far too easy again, Antwi's shot and it's Cisse who deflects it into the net. Ibrahim Cisse (53 mins) Wow! Ku PS have a corner and Walter Benitez punches it away. It falls to the feet of Clinton Antwi, who sends it into a crowded penalty area and Ibrahim Cisse flicks it on its way to find the corner. From 1-0 down to 2-1 down in a matter of minutes! Crystal Palace 1-1 Ku PS That goal changes things for Palace when it comes to the table. One point as it stands would not be enough to see them finish inside the top eight. They are currently ninth. Piotr Parzyszek (50 mins) Hello! Well it's a rare foray into the Palace defensive third but Saku Savolainen cuts it back for Piotr Parzyszek and he bends it into the top corner. Walter Benitez looked like he got a glove to it but he can't prevent it nestling in the back of the net. All a bit easy for the visitors. Match report to appear here.
