Palace Casuals End of Term Report

League: 2nd - In contention for top spot until last few games where a couple of draws against lower-order teams made overhauling the leader impossible - but did prove what might have been by beating them 3-1 at home in penultimate game.
Champions League: Runner-up - Final possibly a game too far, but some observers have questioned the defensive formation put on the field.
Cup: Winners - for the first time - second time lucky in a Cup Final as Casuals have some silverware to boast at the end of a long and difficult season.

Final League Table:


Player Stats - only the second time that Palace Casuals have completed a 52-game season, and some players have played nearly all of them:


Tie at the top of the League Top Scorers chart but it's all Casuals:


When the 'Flying Wingers' really got going the opportunities for Neagu to assist dried up but he still ended up in the Top 5 Passers table - Shaqiri with 7 and Hansen with 6 are just off the table:


Neagu remained in the Top Performance table despite an erratic last part of the season:


PS: A nice touch if Nordeus were minded: A 'Fair Play' table - winners this year:


A Player Retention list is being scrutinised for next season's squad - 5 players are out of contract so will be discussing terms very soon. As mentioned elsewhere, next season is going to be very much a holding season for consolidation, so no great things are expected from the club.
