    I can't believe Hodgson is still to make his first Palace signing. How slow is he?

    Odd first names and we already have a ‘Watson’ so could be confusing. For that reason I’m out.

    Watson was excellent against Lester after he got the booking out of the way early doors. Has an excellent attitude and proved to be a good if not always first choice option in midfield. No problem if he goes back to Palace and gets more gametime. So long as we can maintain adequate cover due to the injury list he has earned an end of career move in my book.

    I think he can still be of use as a very reliable squad player, but if he is looking to get more game time, good luck and best wishes to him, and a huge thanks for his service :cool:

    Although not a first teamer we need him for the rest of the season because of the injuries. Unless a replacement is coming in.

    Doesn't look good for Capoue if Watson ahead of him in the pecking order

    Two for one deal on our heroes from the 2-1 quarter final win at the Emirates.

    Edit: they're linked to Guedioura too, getting the band back together!

    Good luck to him.

    His debut contribution vs Blackpool was Slav’s Mark Robins moment.

    Exemplary professional, always got on with whatever was asked of him to the best of his ability and without making a fuss, we have a lot to thank him for

    Definitely out of his depth now but a very respectable player - great attitude and clearly cared about the job

    Good luck to him. Seems to be a decent pro but mid table Championship is his place now.

    Thanks for everything Ben, always tried his best (unlike some) and was hugely important during the promotion season and our first season up.

    A solid professional and a very decent kind chap too, great personality traits, would be an awesome coach or manager.

    His contribution in the Soton game last season, getting a red card by fouling S.Long when he was about to be one on one with our keeper. Taking one for the team and helping us get a point :)

    I'll echo the above sentiments - consummate professional and thoroughly decent bloke. He'll be an asset to Forest in the Championship I'm sure.

    Great pro. Last act for us stopping player/fan trouble won't be forgotten. Good luck to him.

    He's the reason we're in the Prem right now. Dawdled on the ball too much, but was excellent for us. Wouldn't have minded him playing for us for the rest of the season!

    With Cleverley injured, let's see what disasterous, experimental formation we are forced to play now, with no other centre backs on the books who are fit and not Capoue.

    PS. How come Capoue never gets injured?
