Crystal Palace's U23s season came to a close down at the training ground today, losing 3-2 to Watford meaning the Eagles narrowly missed out on a play-off berth
A big 90 minutes was required for Richard Shaw’s U23s side, with a victory of four goals or more needed to confirm a play-off place in the Professional Development League Southern Division.
Shaw made seven changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Leeds United on Monday, but the personnel changes didn’t interrupt the flow of the Eagles with plenty of possession in the opening five minutes for the Palace defence and midfield as they looked to patiently build up and unlock the Watford side.
