Looks better line up.

Looks better line up.

Really? Looks the same formation?

 

[JHB]

Unless it’s due to fitness I wouldn’t have dropped Hughes. Our best player so far this season and the only one to set the right tone.

I think he means Kamada is not in it 😀

 

[Teddy Eagle]

I think he means Kamada is not in it 😀

He's probably off on an expenses paid 6* holiday.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear

 

[PalazioVecchio]

 

[Rudi Hedman]

He's probably off on an expenses paid 6* holiday.

No, just a comfy bucket seat in the dugout, possibly heated.

Why do we keep playing Wharton when we know he isn’t fit?

Surely it’s just going to aggravate his injury even further?!

 

[ASCPFC]

We could theoretically pick that line up and go 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2 but I guarantee we won't.

I expect in this case OG knows he has nothing to lose. If he doesn’t win one of the next two league games he is, in all likelihood, gone so Wharton being crocked won’t be his issue. It’s a final swing of the bat

 

[Teddy Eagle]

No, just a comfy bucket seat in the dugout, possibly heated.

Probably a contractual week off every month.
What are the odds he gets subbed on and scores? Name your own I guess.

 

[Normandie Eagle]

I'll be happy if he does, preferably not when we are chasing the game but rather extending our lead. I live in hope!

 

[ASCPFC]

I find it quite depressing that we're at home but still don't fancy getting anything from this. Let's hope they have that European hangover - pretty sure Liverpool had it at Selhurst.

Don't imagine the population of Hope has many Palace fans. Compared to their neighbours in Dread.

 

[DenTyler]

I just don’t understand dropping Hughes and playing an injured Wharton. This club is going to wreck that kid.

 

[taylors lovechild]

Sarr starting is a positive. His pace could be key in us getting anything from this game. I'm also pleased Mateta is back in. I would have liked to have seen us switch to a back 4, but maybe Glasner just wanted some stability at the back after having to make a lot of changes this season.

I have consulted several fortune-telling cephalopods and they agree that Nketiah will come off the bench to snatch a late winner for us. 2-1 Palace.

Theoretically, we should have a decent medical team giving advice.

We have and Doctor Tinkle and Doctor Nookie both agree. Doctor Crippen wasn't sure.
