palace have a pretty solid, balanced team and formation... biggest problems are the lack of pace at the back, and the attacking unit having so many new players
it means the defensive midfielders have to sit back and give the defenders a lot of protection (which they've done well so far tbf)
also means the attacking passing game looks pretty disjointed as the players arent really familiar with each other yet. theres definite protential there, lots of pace and movement and a decent target man in chamakh, but its still a work in progress

jedinak and dikgacoi both play as defensive midfielders in the 4-2-3-1, and both have been good, but yes, jedinak has been outstanding
dikgacoi is suspended for this game i believe after ashley youngs diving last week, so we'll see if Holloway changes the formation or not. it was always a problem last season - if either jedinak/dikgacoi was unavailable, palace looked weaker, they work very well together as a defensive unit

3 palace changes in the starting lineup. can't quite figure out what that formation is meant to be either.
looks like Holloway is in an experimental mood

p!ss poor by Palace. worst they've played all season.
too many changes, messed up formation, even more messed up when you have no defenders on the bench and one gets injured.
rethink needed by Holloway

at least dikgacoi will be back next match to help jedinak protect that dodgy defence
he'll be needed, if the delaney injury is serious then palace dont have enough fit defenders now.
hope Holloway has also learned that Jerome is not a left winger. maybe the attacking players can practice passing to each other in training too.
comical stuff today. dear me.

shocking stuff...jedinak playing centre back 2nd half, jerome and chamakh looked like john terry and wayne bridge at a wedding reception!
TBF....swansea looked a class outfit, very organsied, ruthless upfront (apart from wayne routledge), great tactics from the manager....they went 2-0 up and were keeping the ball for 2-3 mins at a time without actually doing anything ....that's how you defend a lead!
