Lerma over Hughes 🤔

I'd really like to see us get back to winning ways with this one, if we continue with draws and losses we'll quickly find ourselves back down in the 14th to 17ths

Possibly the thinking is Lerma will be an asset defending Brentford's set pieces and long throws

"... continue with draws and losses"
Plural.

On the face of it this looks a conservative selection by Glasner to counter Brentford's physicality and strength at set pieces.
Lerma is more likely to deal with this challenge so that may be why he's preferred to Hughes.
I think it will be a direct game with lots of long passes and set pieces.
Too close to call this game for me.

I’d rather have seen Hughes than Lerma who has not been particularly impressive recently. However, either way missing Wharton means the midfield has very little creativity or passing ability. Will have to look to Munoz to be our main creator. Think this could be a very tight game

A win would be a great result. They have scored 10 goals in their past 3 games and I think Canvot would have had a tough time so glad Richards is able to start. Mateta needs to convert his chances and Kamada and Pino show up against the big boys

Please read the pinned post at the top of Palace Talk if you have not done so, and stop asking for illegal streams!

Is there any official live commentary ? Crystal Palace TV+ are sending out the Wolves game (via 5 live).

They're letting him have the ball so he can give it away with his dreadful passing.

Pino needs to play it more simply too.

Blimey! Kamada, passing running and jumping.......... that lad's come a long way.......

BBC London seem to be mostly sticking with the Palace Brentford game. You just have to put up with the dreadful pronunciation - Gerhee and Munoz (vs Munioz)!

I kind of feel OG is struggling a bit, and the players look lost and unmotivated.

Palace haven't won a trophy for months now

Henderson must think he's still at Liverpool and his whinging at the ref will be listened to

Difficult for both sides having to pick it up a level again after playing Liverpool

There ain’t no one better!!!! COYP!
