I've been thinking for a while that we seem to underperform at home in midweek, with the odd explosive exception (Crystanbul was a Monday, the late turnaround versus Watford was Tuesday etc).
Saw this earlier on the BBC which seemed to confirm that, Wednesdays at least, are a good time to play us at Selhurst:
Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 17 Premier League matches played on Wednesdays (drawn eight, lost eight) and are winless in 12 at Selhurst Park (drawn seven, lost five) since a 1-0 win over Aston Villa in February 1993.
I don't know what the stats are for Mondays and Tuesday but I suspect they are not too dissimilar.
What are we not doing midweek that we are doing at weekends? Granted, our home form in general since our return to the PL in 2013 has been less than stellar (other than periods under Pulis and Roy) but Saturday afternoons seem to serve us best.
