The wait is over! Palace have finally snapped their 12-match winless streak in the most satisfying way possible-a 1-0 victory over Brighton at the Amex. In a match where grit met clinical execution, Ismaïla Sarr proved to be the thorn in the Seagulls' side once again, hammering home the winner on the hour mark after a brilliant setup from debutant Evann Guessand. We're breaking down a tactical masterclass that saw the Eagles survive a Brighton onslaught and climb above their rivals into 13th place.

It's the one both fanbases circle on the calendar, but the stakes have rarely felt more desperate. Palace travel to the Amex on Sunday carrying the weight of a 12-match winless streak and a squad that feels like it's being held together by tape. While a gritty point at Forest offered a brief reprieve, the Eagles now face a Brighton side that-despite their own recent struggles-will be smelling blood in the water. Can Oliver Glasner find a way to silence the south coast, or will this rivalry clash be the final straw?

Palace's agonizing winless run reaches 12 games, but a gritty 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest at least stops the bleeding. After falling behind to an early Morgan Gibbs-White strike, the game turned on its head when Neco Williams was sent off for a desperate handball on the line. Ismaila Sarr clinical penalty salvaged a point, though the frustration lingers after failing to break down ten men for the entire second half. We're diving into the fallout, including Oliver Glasner's post-match admission that while he was "pleased with the desire," the squad's lack of efficiency in front of goal remains a glaring concern.

The crisis at Selhurst Park reaches a boiling point as Palace travel to the City Ground for a high-stakes relegation six-pointer. Still winless in 11 games across all competitions, the Eagles face a Nottingham Forest side that is breathing down their necks, now just three points behind in the table. With the transfer deadline looming and the club already mourning the loss of Marc Guéhi, the situation has gone from dire to desperate

The downward spiral continues as 10-man Palace fall 3-1 to Chelsea at Selhurst Park, extending the winless run to an agonizing 11 games. In a match defined by individual errors and a lack of discipline, the "abandoned" squad fought to the end but was ultimately undone by clinical finishing and a nightmare afternoon for the youngsters. Following Oliver Glasner's post-match shift from fury to "praising the resilience" of his group, we're dissecting every performance to see who is still fighting for the shirt and who has already checked out.

In a match defined by individual errors and a lack of discipline, the "abandoned" squad fought to the end but was ultimately undone by clinical finishing and an afternoon to forget for young Jaydee Canvot.

Can the "abandoned" squad find a miracle against a Chelsea side pushing for the top four?
