Back Of The Nest (CPFC Podcast)

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-gr...

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.
