Yep - very pleased - strong starting 11

 

[grumpymort]

Why is Lerma starting at the back again makes no sense Riad needs to be getting game time.

Otherwise good team

 

[Charlie B]

Strong attack. Come on Palace!

 

[BromleyMonkey]

I’m pleased Guessand’s getting a start, did enough at Brighton to deserve it imo

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

Poor team, we wont win until changes are made, if they aren't we wont win at all, i predict boos at full time, and OGs last game, hopefully we will thrash them 5-0, i am happy to be wrong but that is how i see it

 

[sprites]

Usually I’d be in utter disbelief that Hughes has been dropped, but understand that it’s because of the opposition - will need attacking endeavor vs solidity. So I can just about stomach it this week.

Up the palace!

do mean we won’t win this game or win a game for the rest of the season?

 

[eaglesdare]

I imagine kamada will play up to 60 mins and Hughes comes in.

Good squad we have now. I imagine we will have a good strong finish to the season 😄

Because he has a proven ability to play centre half in the Premier League as evidenced by a man of the match performance against Brighton. Riad is not proven. It’s that simple.

The time to play Riad is once we are well clear of relegation concerns and not before.

Ward-Prowse 🐀 🤮

 

[palace_in_frogland]

Ward-Prowse 🐀 🤮

It's ok, we don't have Wilf any more!

 

[Eagle-Trucker]

Ward-Prowse 🐀 🤮

Is a w⚓.

It was him or Canvot against Forest but that meant rather a long stint for a player returning after such a long time out injured; some adverse reaction wouldn't surprise me. I'd expect him to come on for the game time you mention for twenty minutes to quarter of an hour so long as we've achieved a comfortable position by then.

 

[Paaalaaace]

So why has kick off been delayed by 10 minutes

Ward-Prowse 🐀 🤮

Anagram of piss shower.

If we get well clear of relegation we will probably be chasing a European place so if Lerma retains form - and he has been useful in an attacking sense this year as well - it is his place to lose

Burnley can't find London.

52.000 people in the stadium and 6 .000 still trying to get in .
Burnley bus slowly making its way through the crowd ,running late .
