Palace teams report, Tuesday, 2nd instalment...

Palace Terriers wanted to have an early-morning look at the Transfer market, but the two available slots were taken by new Youth product from their Academy. One was immediately released as he wouldn't add anything to the squad, but the other was a good prospect and of comparable quality to the current midfield:



As a result of all the incoming players recently, the following players were released - Giulio Migliorati (30, 2*/16Q - 15 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist), Anupam Kohli (22, 2*/17Q - 13 appearances), Harry Cambridge (26, 3*/20Q - 17 appearances, 6 goals).

Palace Terriers had a home match in the Champions League against a possibly abandoned team - only three players were left in position so a guess had to be made about the formation the team would take, and an attacking 4-3N-3 chosen as it would counter both 4-3N-2-1 and 4-5-1V, either of which could be the formation being faced. This meant an immediate introduction to first team football for young Aaron Record, and he made an instant impact, scoring two goals and making his mark defensively to the extent of being cautioned. In a nervous first half-hour, Terriers finally found the net in the 28th minute when Stanislav Dolgoborodov opened fire from 30 yards out and the ball found the back of the net. Three minutes later, Record got his debut goal with a shot from 20 yards. In the second half, striker Nicky Jones found himself in possession of the ball, but instead of taking a shot, squared the ball to Ondrej Kadlec, who finished off nicely. Record then hit a 30 yard pile driver for his second of the game, before the visitors got onto the score sheet with a goal which can be considered a consolation effort. On the stroke of full time, Ben Atkins nodded in a corner from Dolgoborodov to make the final score 5-1.
