That is exactly the reason he should have stayed on in Saturday’s game. We’d just equalised and our tails were up and I’m sure he would’ve found an extra burst of energy reserves for the last 8 minutes. Did he look tired to anyone else? He didn’t look tired when he was skinning the full back. Hughes should have gone for the jugular. Absolutely unforgivable substitution. I’ve got to say Carlisle were better than us on the balance of play over the two legs but I’m still fuming about the substitution now.

Hughes said he was already due to take him off and that the assist didn’t change his mind. Unbelievable.

 

Obviously not as tired as Hughes thought then

 

Scott Banks was certainly a loan player who gave his all in a City shirt.
A pleasure to watch and a bright future ahead that's for sure.
Not one I'll forget along with Cullen from West Ham.

 

Just a few of the many, many complimentary quotes from the Palace forum regarding Banks after this game against PSV:

"Banks was outstanding last night - his all round game has improved enormously following his loan time at Bradford.
Easily mom for us."

"Banks on the other hand had a great game, and if you were told it was Banks who had just smashed it in League 1 instead of JRS this season you wouldn't have been surprised."

"Banks should be looking at Championship loans next season I think."

"he's certainly showing enough promise to warrant a 2 year contract I'd say"

"Banks our best player."

@Onside87 if you think he's coming back to League Two, you're badly mistaken.

 

Safety first is Always Hughes go to tactic. Which is ironic because its anything but

 

He went to Norwich while they were in the Premier League and was 19 years old. Banks is 21 and isnt anywhere near the level needed to play for Crystal Palace. I think people forget how big the jump in quality is.
Hes had a good second half of the season for us but to suggest he would get a look in at Palace when they have players like Zaha, Olise and Eze is hilarious.

 

If it was going to be Platt coming on that makes no sense at all, losing so you bring a central defender on, baffling.

 

If Banks would have started the game on the bench and. Platt started it would have been ok then but for Banks to start and then subbed after he made a goal is madness and sorry no reason for it.

 

The natural progression for Banks and Palace is a loan to a league 1 club next season and see how he fares.Has shown good promise for us, has the technique and ball control to play higher, decision making still at league 2 level but will benefit from having better players around him..

 

He’s 21 and at a club that promotes youth.

He’s clearly above league 2 standards already and his next loan (if loaned) will more than likely be at a League 1 or Championship club.

Palace play with wingers and he could find himself on the bench in a couple of seasons at Palace.

 

That was a given once we failed to go up. Makes total sense from both Palace and the players perspective that he plays at a higher level than League 2 next season.
Had we gone up I do think there would have been a strong possibility, but not now.

 

And Burke

 

It was one of the most mystifying subs I've ever seen.

He did the same sub against Gillingham and it didn't work, so have no idea why he did it again.

It was the first point in the game we had the momentum back on our side - who knows what would have happened if we carried on the way we were for a further 5/10 mins? They could have been on the ropes. We'll never know.

The right sub in that situation, if any, would have been to bring on another attacker and gone for their throats. Fans can forgive you for being positive and attacking. Inviting pressure and parking the bus was unbelievably negative and only going to result in us either conceding or taking the lottery of penalties.

 

Absolutely no chance. There'll be a whole host of League One clubs who would be interested, and from a Palace perspective that will be better for his development - playing at a higher level.

You often see young players loaned out to clubs lower down the football pyramid to start with, and then gradually move up the leagues through further loans before they make the step up to the first team picture.

Harry Kane, Conor Gallagher to name a couple.

 

Scott Banks I'm sure will go on to have an excellent career in the game. He may not make Premier League but I do see him holding his own at Championship level in a couple of years. He seems to have a good attitude and no little talent. Very raw and has lots to improve on, but he'll have benefited from the season he's just had.
Had we gone up, I'd have been confident that Palace would have loaned him back at least till Jan, but as has been suggested I think they will want to see him play at a higher level next season

Maybe, Maybe not - BUT I don't think he will ever play in L2 again. He's on an upward trajectory and will be at the very least in L1 next year. Don't be surprised if he rocks up on a year's loan at Leyton orient or Peterborough

 

Two Words - Adam Reach. he has the similar potential

 

Bookmark it. He won’t. Nothing strange about it. Not like our fan base to go OTT over a player though is it. All getting very over excited that Dion came back this summer. That went well.
