To be fair, until we equalised, Hughes was about to bring on both Jones and Jerome and then when we scored I saw him wave both of them back to the bench, so I suspect that we would have seen KJ for Crouch
And for what it's worth I'm in the "keep KJ, get rid of Crouch" camp having never rated Crouch at any point of his career and having been very concerned when TP signed him (especially as he had given lots of indications he didn't even want to come to us until Levy - allegedly - told him it was either that or sit in Spurs reserves)

By far the worst player yesterday with Walters a close second.

What annoys me is that Crouch came in and replaced a decent looking partnership of Jones and Walters. We were playing good football, certainly not Barca-esque, but we attacked every loose ball, chased down the last defenders and had crosses flying into the box from Pennant and Etherington. I have no idea why we don't revert to that style once again, just with a bit more emphasis placed on the possession.
Shame, I like Crouch and would like him to stay but not at the expense of Jones, or any of the other 'forwards' for that matter.

I thought he worked hard today and was unlucky not to get a goal. They had two men on him most of the way through. Get some pace either side of him and I think in this system he still has plenty to offer. This.

He was completely isolated last season and was pretty isolated against Palace. He's never had pace or strength like KJ but that doesn't mean he can't be far more effective. He needs pace around him and at the moment there is nothing around him.

He needs pace around him and at the moment there is nothing around him. This is how I see his play being effective' it's like jerome and crouch are a completely different setup to crouch and walters... big difference being jeromes raw speed. Jerome himself can run a defense and let crouch link up or on the other hand crouchy can hold up play and get jerome in on a good pass or flick on' as he does with walters but jon can't blow by anyone it seems anymore. We need pace and pace and pace is all.
