South London: Crystal Palace managed to scrape a 1-0 win against Stockport in the FA Cup. Eberechi Eze scored early, just four minutes in, and that was pretty much it for the excitement.
After that quick goal, the game turned into a bit of a snooze-fest. Stockport had a couple of chances to equalize, but they just couldn’t find the back of the net. It was one of those matches where you kept hoping for something more, but it never really came.
Palace will now head to Doncaster for the next round, which should be interesting. They really need to step up their game, especially with a tough match against Leicester coming up soon.
Fans were left a bit frustrated, wishing their team could have wrapped things up earlier. With a small squad and a busy schedule, they can’t afford to let games drag on like this.
On a brighter note, there’s buzz about a potential new signing. Palace is looking to bring in Romain Esse from Millwall, which could add some much-needed flair to the squad. It’ll be exciting to see how he fits in if the deal goes through.
In the end, the manager felt it was a job well done, but he knows they missed a few chances to really seal the deal. Here’s hoping for a more thrilling performance next time!
