A textbook European away day for the Eagles! It was effectively men against boys in Dublin as Palace swept Shelbourne aside 3-0 with a dominant first-half display. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

​Fresh off dominant back-to-back Premier League away wins, Glasner’s Eagles arrive in Dublin tonight ready to school the locals. While this is a historic "cup final" for Shelbourne, for Palace, it’s merely a stepping stone. The disparity is massive; Shelbourne are winless in Europe and rusty, having not played domestically for weeks. It’s a mismatch of Premier League quality against League of Ireland grit, and there should only be one winner. Expect a professional demolition job at Tallaght Stadium as we boost our goal difference and march comfortably toward the knockout stages. Three points are non-negotiable.

What a thrilling, hard-fought victory for Palace! This team simply refuses to give up. Fulham's equaliser was a moment of quality, but it only served to fire up our boys. Adam Wharton ran the midfield, and Eddie Nketiah's opener was a beautifully taken goal. Then, in the 87th minute, who else but captain Marc Guéhi stepped up! A bullet header to seal the 2-1 win and launch us into the Top Four. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Patrick and Lou review the player performances from Wednesday evenings match against Burnley. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Palace ground out a gritty 1–0 at Burnley, the sort of away win that tastes even sweeter because Turf Moor usually feels like playing football inside a windy toaster. We weren’t vintage, but we were solid, stubborn and just sharp enough when it mattered. Burnley huffed, puffed and basically built a flat-pack siege, but Palace managed it calmly and pinched the decisive moment. A proper smash-and-grab vibe, and exactly the kind of result you need if you’re pushing on. A win’s a win — and this one felt earned. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio.

Patrick and Lou return once more to discuss their opinions on how our players rated in the defeat to Manchester United. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Palace looked leggy from the start, and it showed. The intensity wasn’t there, the press was a step slow, and United took full advantage. Even then, we stayed in the game and made them work for it, but fatigue told in the key moments. A frustrating one, because it felt more about tired bodies than any real gulf in quality.

Palace welcome United at Selhurst Park on Sunday (12:00GMT). We're flying in 5th, just two points above 10th-placed United.

Crystal Palace were unlucky to lose 2-1 in Strasbourg, controlling long spells and creating the better chances. Palace pressed intelligently, moved the ball with purpose and looked the Premier League side throughout. A late lapse cost them, but the performance showed quality, resilience and clear superiority despite the scoreline today. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio.

Crystal Palace produced a mature, disciplined away performance at Molineux, managing Wolves with smart pressing, tidy possession and sharp counters. Both goals came from precise movement and confident finishing, showcasing a team in full control of the tempo. The back line stayed organised throughout, shutting down danger early.
