I went to that (and what a lovely place it was.......hmmm). Anyway, Thomas and Gray played. Nigel definitely wasn't in goal. Can't remember who was. Wright was already an Arsenal scum by then, though again he didn't play - it was Lineker who scored. Can't remember the subs but it wasn't any of them. Might have been in the squad though like you say.

Or Tomkins?

I want to say that Big Nig & Gray were also in that squad but I could be making that up.

Thomas, Wright and Salako all started in one of the games

Here are the details. To view the link you have to Register or Login The game ruined Andy Gray.

Unfortunately, this site doesn't give unused subs/squad members. But Salako had had his serious injury earlier that month, so wouldn't have been in the squad.

Andy Sinton and Tony Daley. Blimey.

Not sure if Wight was in the squad then but a general reminder of the dross that kept him out of selection (when there were two strikers selected, that looks a 451).

Can't fault his effort again but looks jaded after no rest this season
He looked angry with himself when subbed off he was brilliant for us over several months and still my POTY but form has dipped unsurpisingly

[Stavros 69]

Needs to shift his aim 10 degrees

[Kai]

His misses today were things of pure comedy. Total Sunday League finishing

[HRP]

He is so over rated , runs around with very little end product

[Joooe]

He'd be a good sub to have, but I think we'd be a better team without him starting...

[Brett]

Been dreadful since the wonder goal. Struggling to recall many Palace players with a worse first touch than Andros has at the moment. Hope he turns it around because he works his socks for the shirt, is a great lad and has a clear soft spot for the club.

Good to see so called supporters still talking bollocks on BBS. Andros is player of the year

Christ.

AWB is under-appreciated if any player other than him gets a vote.

[Woosie]

Incredible to think that people wanted him in the England squad!

Player of the Year?!?!

People have an inflated opinion of him because he is a diligent player and his dad is prominent and appears to be a decent bloke (as does Andros)

Agree with all of that.

[PalaceSi]

One thing is clear, the attacking force of two wingers and an isolated striker just doesn't work especially at home where we've struggled to score goals all season.

Wilf is the better winger so Andros should either be reserve winger or Wilf needs to be up front when Andros starts as happened in the second half today.

it doesn't help that our two silky wingers are not great finishers. They have both scored worldies here and there but we need more poaching going on.

We really do need to rethink how we attack. We'll be losing MB at the end of the season and CB at the end of next so its time to restructure our attack and how we attack.
I'd like to see us invest substantial resources into an attacking goalscoring midfielder, play with one silky winger only and stop our striker being so isolated.

I'm afraid this would mean Andros is on the bench and back up for Wilf, we can't carry on attacking like this at home, our home form alone would have us relegated by a mile.

[Al From Bromley]

I forgive Andros for an off day. He has had a good season and tries his heart out every game. Must have put his shooting boots on the wrong feet this afternoon.
