Palace - Leeds [R]

Leeds go to Selhurst Park for a tough match on Sunday. 7:00 AM EST in the States. Hopefully they can protect a lead and three points this time.

The match is on Setanta. Looks like an early wake-up call for me.

That's 6:00 AM here in the Central Time Zone. That way too earlier for me. I don't think I'll be watching this one.

As for the match, you always want a victory, but I'd be happy with a draw being that the match is at Palace. I think we'll see a lot about the Leeds squad in this match.

Unfortunately, no place with SATANta within 30 miles of Annapolis. Depressing.
Looks like it will be the Chinese feeds again.....

1-0 Palace wins on a goal in the 90'. Horsfield saw red. This could be a frustrating season.

There is hope out of this match. Palace is a promotion candidate and played a man up at home for 75 minutes, but Leeds were the better side - even with ten men Leeds had more possession and better chances for probably the first 70 minutes. Lewis hit the post in the run of play in the first half, and Healy was very effective in a lone striker role. In the second half, neither was very effective as they lost their legs, but Leeds still played even until the last 10 minutes or so. Kelly, Butler, and Kilgallon were solid - as was Warner in goal.

Morrison's goal came after a ball knocked around in the box came to him. Killa was draped all over him, but he still tapped it into good position - getting around Killa in the process - and finished very well from 8 yards with Killa still on him. Frustrating that late in the match.

Horsfield's red card seemed to be deserved - although it was hard to tell for certain because the play was off the ball and the camera angle came from afar. He was trying to make a run, the defender held onto him and pulled his sweater a couple of times, and he appeared to follow through with a forearm to the defender's head. The center ref missed it but the linesman caught it.

Agreed, Leeds boosed this match in the first half...Controlled the tempo away from home albeit less a striker for the last 30 mins of the first half...Palace had many chances in the final 30 but Leeds looked good for a point...Gave away possession far too easily and were put under pressure in the end...Many positives though...David Healy played well upfront on his own, Steve Stone was everywhere and can prove invaluable in the promotion chase if healthy...
