Going to be a very very tough Game without Green in goal , Our defence is going to have to be at its very best from the start to the end and we need to keep 11 men on the field this time
I would keep with the same line up that started the blackpool game only with Boffin or Stech in goal - not sure which I would want tbh

Not sure that Faye is going to be fit. Looks like he has done his groin again. So either Tomkins goes into the back four or we give a debut to George John with Tomkins sitting in front of the back four in place of Diop

If not then I would like to see Lansbury given a go in central midfield

As I have done for a few weeks now , I popped over to our next rivals Chat Forum and here is some of the responses I got

I'd like to think it will be an exciting London derby, e.g. 3-2, but I think you'll be too strong for us. No chance of us making the play offs now, hopefully a few more good performances as we build for next season.

Scrumpy
Keep an eye out for Zaha, Jedinak, KG, Ambrose and Martin. All 5 have been on fire the last few games

Welcome!

For us a top 10 finish would be decent season end, will never rule the playoffs out in this league but next season i think we'll be more equipped to challenge

Nolan and Taylor being out is a big bonus, very good players especially at this level

Our best players ? we'll let old fat sam do his own dvd and stat reseach on that..

West Ham should go up, they arn't to pretty this season but have more than enough to get out of this league, sorry but i think 1 season in the prem maybe all you'll last without further heavy investment

i have a feeling we'll win Saturday, early kick off plus you are expected to win, so your fans and team may struggle to get going. wham 0-2 Palace

Play-offs at very best, 10th will be very good, between 12th and 15th is an achievement. We've come a long way in the last two years, progress will be slow but steady.

It could certainly help us, but if I remember you have strength in depth so it won't affect you that much like if we lost Jedi, Zaha or Speroni.

Zaha - Very tricky winger/striker, just called up to England U-21s.
Speroni - One of the best keepers outside the PL. 7 years at the club.
Clyne - Comfortable right back, has had Adebayor (when 17) and Ji-Sung Park in his pocket.
Martin - Improving all the time.

I honestly think you're overrated. 2nd at best, 6th worst.

Sod off then.

Palace will be a very hard nut to crack as we were in our 2-2 draw earlier in the season.

The team is playing very confidently and the goals are finally starting to flow with six in our last two matches.

Zaha and Ambrose are both back to their best and Zaha will be keen to impress in front of Stuart Pearce who has called him up for the England U21 Squad to play against Belgium.

Chris Martin on loan from Norwich seems be improving every match and has scored 5 goals in his 13 appearances for us so far.

Palace are having a much better season than most predicted and we will be very happy with a top ten finish and reaching the play-offs would be a bonus.

We go into this match unbeaten in five and confident of getting a result.

Southampton to win it, best manager and squad. Reading and Blackpool to challenge you for 2nd spot.

Dont think Sam is the man. With money spent you should have been certainties but you are not.

Would not be at all surprised to see us nick a point or even better. We have a few players hitting their best form of the season and Dougie will win the tactical battle against Fat Sam

Coporal Jones
We will finish midtable.

Definitely helps us that you have both Nolan and Taylor out when we meet. As has already been mentioned, Nolan always scores against us (the b*stard).

Think West Ham will finish 2nd. Southampton have just come out of a bad spell and look to be picking up some form again. They're my tip to take top spot.

Reckon the score will be 2-2. Ambrose and Zaha for us. Cole and Maynard for you lot.

Good luck for the rest of the season (except when you play us).


And there was a lot of responses that was just pure abuse , muppets . One thing that seem to hit a nerve was the mention of Cocopops , I asked why but aint got an answer yet , but I did get 40 + responses and they are still coming . Any descent ones and I will post on here

He might be in goal Tone

After yesterdays win I'm really looking forward to Saturday game.
I wonder if Mr Ross will be there?

He may well be !

I have a palace fan at w**k who has been giving me crap over the course of the season so i would like nothin better then for us to repeat the Blackpool score on saturday to shut him up

It will prob end up as a draw , 2-2 or 1-1 something like that and think Maynard may score again today

I am very much looking forward to this game, although I am concerned about who’s going in goal. My hope is that it’s NOT Boffin :no:



I'd just like to say that I don’t like the lunch time kick offs
