It has been a miserable season for Crystal Palace.

After defying the odds to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final less than 12 months ago, the wheels have slowly begun to come off for the south London club.

Since the Eagles last featured in the Conference League on 18 December, things have gone from bad to worse.

Palace have slipped from fifth to 13th in the Premier League, exited the League Cup at the quarter-final stage, and seen their reign as FA Cup holders ended by sixth-tier Macclesfield.

Add to that the departure of captain March Guehi to Manchester City and confirmation that Glasner will leave the club at the end of the season, and it has been a testing couple of months at Selhurst Park.

Thursday night's trip to Bosnia was supposed to provide relief from a difficult domestic season, but it instead highlighted Palace's ongoing problems.

For all of their possession, they could not turn control into a convincing display.

For now, talk of the final by supporters - and any travel plans to go with it - may be slightly premature.
