Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest

Palace put an end to Forests run of six consecutive victories today at Selhurst Park with a 1-1 draw.

In an entertaining end to end game, Palace opened the scoring as Darren Ambrose netted his seventh goal of the season with a trademark free-kick five minutes before the break. The goal came after the introduction of the lively Victor Moses changed the game after replacing the injured Freddie Sears mid-way throught the first half.

Despite goin in at the break a goal to the good, the Eagles couldnt hang on and Forest's potent strike-force hit back in the 47th minute. McGoldrick tapping in a low Lewis McGugan cross and leave the game perfectly poised.

Both sides had chances to snatch victory, the best of which was a glaring miss from Palace's mercurial youngster Victor Moses which will surely go down as miss of the season. He shot over from six-yards after connecting with a pin point Shaun derry cross.

It was a good result for the Eagles who have turned Selhurst Park into somewhat of a fortress in recent weeks after an unbeaten home run that now stands at four games. Another aspect of the game today that will surely please the Palace faithful as they trudge down Holmesdale Rd is the number of chances that we created.The boys created thirteen chances against a very good side who will surely be in contention for the Play-off spots come May.

On the other-hand this statistic is also one that will worry fans as they sup their post-match pints. Only converting one of seven shots ON taget isn't good enough and just goes show our lack of quality at the sharp end. Once again it was Ambrose who is carrying the goalscoring duty's for the team and that alusive fifth goalscorer has not yet materialised this season.

This must be a worry for Neil Warnock, especially with his hands tied behind his back in the transfer embargo and tight finances.

Overall considering our weaknesses it was both a good result and performance which is the important thing here and the point takes as a third of the way to safety and the magical fifty point mark.

Next up we travel to deepdale with a chance to set off on another unbeaten run.

Here's hoping!
