Joao Pedro moving to Brighton for £30m in the summer. Bonkers money - he's only scored 11 goals this season.

Is this Crystal Palace game viewable anywhere?

JDT has had nowhere near the time or funding that Mowbray had. If they'd backed him with a single decent striker in January we'd be sat pretty in the Playoffs right now. Mowbray built his team every season on half a dozen loans and worked out what system he was going to play by trial and error. Then rebuilt it all again the year after. Players have actually improved under JDT and we have a style of play and a system - it's night and day.

We. Have. No. Goal. Scorers.

He'll be getting a stony silence from me during his lap of honour next week.

In his defence he's had no-one to centre / cross the ball to.

We need a dislike button. What utter, utter nonsense from a bloke that couldn't even be bothered to attend the match.

I think by all accounts he's been shit for the U21s - and Aberdeen clearly didn't think much of him either. It looks like we bought a dud there.

And Brittain - he shut down Benson when he came on. He's just been unfortunate that a lot of our creative play has come through JRC at RB (and with injuries).

Can you pick out the big chances they had?

They've spent £40m this season and they've got a massive rebuild job on their hands in the PL or they'll be straight back down with thrashings handed out every week.

I think he's managed him wisely. He's only 18 - yes he's a superb talent, but he needs to be nurtured (and evidently his attitude has needed to be corrected). He'll be a better player for this - I just hope it's with us.

Ah, they COULD have gone up another gear, but didn't at any point in the 90 minutes.

Leonard was on the pitch for 10 minutes - you're wasted on here if you can judge a player based off that.

Men against boys?! We played them off the park. Pickering foolishly fell for the only dummy Benson has and he curled their one shot of the game into the corner of the net. There's nothing valuable about Dack and Ayala at this point - they're both ready for the knackers yard. Brereton-Diaz has been tripe for 6 months too. We say the Championship is poor every year - which it is, bar the top 2 or 3 teams.

He wasn't given £12m to sign 2 fucking useless strikers.

If JDT is as ruthless as I think he is (and is still here!) I suspect he'll be looking to move Travis on in the summer. He's a good Championship player, but he's not technical enough to play in a 2 man midfield.

Not really - he's found his level.

I'd love some genuine pace in the front 4 too. Burnley played on the half way line because they had zero fear of Dolan / Brereton-Diaz / Hedges running in behind them.

Wharton was comfortably the best player on the pitch - the only way they could get near him was when they fouled him. Which they did, repeatedly.

No, we need a goal scorer. He's not a goal scorer.

You couldn't play Big Sam football with this team.

Massively agree to disagree. The horror performances have disappeared. A competent striker would be well into double figures since January. Instead Brereton-Diaz has been on the fucking beach and we already know that Dolan / Hedges / Gallagher are never going to contribute enough goals to fire you up the table.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes I'm afraid. I have no sympathy for him.

It's 4-2-3-1 I reckon, but the point still stands. Brereton-Diaz is on the beach and Dolan isn't a #9.
