# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Andros Townsend reaching landmark

**Andros Townsend has struggled a little this season with fitness and form, two factors which have been significant in Crystal Palace’s poor goal return.**

Roy Hodgson’s side have looked helpless in attack at times this season with [22 goals scored in 25 league games](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table), yet Townsend’s return of [one goal and one assist in 15 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andros-townsend/leistungsdaten/spieler/61842) shows he has contributed to that. The former Newcastle player had only made [nine league starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andros-townsend/leistungsdaten/spieler/61842) by the time injury ruled him out of action in mid-December, and Palace’s form has tailed off without him.

Since he has been missing the Selhurst Park outfit have [won just once in ten games](https://www.skysports.com/crystal-palace-results), leading one fan to indicate that the winger was missed during his spell on the sidelines.

The 28-year-old’s return to action against Sheffield United last weekend is a positive, therefore, and Townsend took to Twitter recently to [announce](https://twitter.com/andros_townsend/status/1225479303925727234) that he made his 200th Premier League appearance in that match, which has sparked a reaction from the Palace faithful.
