Dont think Jake O'Brien will qualify as a HG as he was only at Palace for 1 year before he turned 21 (15th May 2022).

Went to Palace for 2021/2022 and was sold before the start of 2023/2024 season.

This is the squad as it stands, on the 1st July if not before our loan players will return and contracts will expire.

I will make changes at that time, I just had some time and wanted to have a first draft I could change, cos I have probably made lots of errors, so the good people of Got will highlight them for me!

Dyche has alot of work to do in the next two weeks
 
We started today with 5 players with a year left on their contracts and then bring one off the bench!


Scandalous mismanagement from the nonexistent board, through to every individual involved in recruitment and football operations.
 
RB has been an accident waiting to happen for some time.

Got away with it a bit last season given how solid Branthwaite's introduction was.

Young suspended, Coleman/Patterson injured so unless Garner is availlabe and thrown in at RB it will surely be Mason Holgate in v Spurs.

Against Son/Werner/Udogie. Keane wasn't too bad today but Spurs attack is exactly the type that will expose him so I think next Saturday won't be far off the 5-0 in March 2022 there.

Have to sign someone early 20s there in the next two weeks, is there anything in the Preciado links as surely today will accelerate a move like that if there's a genuine interest.

Also very thin at CM currently. I see Tim as a Gomes replacement so really to me Onana has not been replaced yet. And club can't get away with just moving Doucs back there and claiming it's an internal replacement as he was awful today.

A few out today and you get a result like that so that's the big warning for the season. At least Branthy staying and returning soon will give a more solid look centrally.

Wasn’t long ago we had Carlo Ancelotti, Richarlison, Gordon, James Rodriguez and Lucas Digne. That is a spectacular cliff dive to where we are now.

It feels like it's just getting worse as well. One of our last assets gone in Onana. Pickford and Branthwaite the only two let that any club would be wiling to pay any money for. A shell of a club.
