Grant Scott is delighted with what summer signing Linzi Taylor has shown so far. The former Partick Thistle player has been deployed as an attacking midfielder for Hibs, a role she often played against the Edinburgh outfit last term. "She played against us last year in that role and I'll be honest I felt she crucified us at times," Scott told club media. "We were very keen on bringing her to the club and now we've seen what she can offer. "She's given us a proper headache now as well. "It's all positive, I'm delighted for her, she just came in and applied herself really well. She's a great character to have in the team so I'm really pleased for her. "We're in a good place at the moment, the team looked very comfortable tonight. I'm delighted with the clean sheet again and another three points."

Which player contracts should be the priority for the club? And are there any who do not deserve a new deal?Let us know here

Which contracts are the priority?

We asked you which thing at Crystal Palace has not been spoken about enough this week.Here are some of your comments:Scott: Selhurst Park redevelopment. Not only final planning permission from Croydon and the Greater London Authority, but the extra cash from Olise and Andersen sales. A revamped Selhurst Park is going to be a game changer for this club.George: Losing Joachim would be the worst possible outcome from this window, he would be the biggest loss to this time aside from Eze. Why is no one kicking up a stink at this?Paddy: We need a 20+ goal a season striker. We don't score enough goals. We've never spent big "superstar" money.Alexandru: Keeping Dougie Freedman as sporting director has been absolutely critical. Recall that there were plenty of rumours he'd leave just a few months ago. What a blessing. so many smart moves this window.Rob: I watched the pre-season matches with Guehi absent and Andersen playing below par. Neither shone on Sunday and could go without being missed. Palace must focus on a settled side and re-create the cohesion that was so evident at the end of last season. No need to panic yet!
