Palace created 5 of the game's 7 biggest chances.
Sels made some good saves as well as letting in some he shouldn’t. Forest defensively left a lot to be desired and actually we could have shipped more than 3.
None of that excuses the wasfulness of the chances we had.
That's how I saw our defending as well as theirs.
The defending was shocking. Weve played 6 games now plus preseason and the 3 cb's still dont know what the f they're meant to be doing when we lose possession and the wing back is up the field. If it were my choice id be binning this system and going to a back 4 where Aina and Neco are excellent full backs and Murillo and Milenkovic are brilliant stoppers.
