    Ours not there's....

    No Pressure boys....

    So If Palarse play like they did against Villa then they are going to give us a beating. If we play like we did against Brentford then we will lose. Just one Caveat... And risking it by saying it here..... Palace have never beaten us in the Premier League era. Gulp.

    But....If we play our game and deprive Wharton of the ball and kick the Hell out of that monster Mateta then we can get a result. Also I would be happy if they are on the beach just a little bit...

    All the results haven't been collated yet at the time of writing Muff have fluked it against the Arse, Brighton we hope gets something against the Geordies and the Scouse want to put on a show against the money dopers of Cheatski.

    Regardless, we need to turn up and we need a balance in the side. It does my head in that if Cho or Elanga aren't playing then Sosa isn't given a shot for balance. The only time that happened was when we went to Goodison and won handily.

    I don't care how we get a result. We just get one. MGW needs to get his head out of his Manc Citeh money bags arse and play his game. Woody needs an opportunity and we need to fight. Anderson will always put a shift in. Who is going to partner him? Yatesy? Dom or maybe Sangare. Elanga needs a partner other than Chris.

    We haven't lost three in a row (gulp). I think we will get a result. 1-1 or 0-1. Woody to score naturally.

    COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS!!!!!!!

    Time to freshen things up and surprise Palace. Back three of Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo; Sangaré in the middle.

    Not sure weakening the team is the way to go in an important match ;)

    It’s the last thing they’ll be expecting.

    I'm not going to back this up with FACTS but it feels like we're really struggling to score goals over the last 4-5 weeks. Hopefully that changes later.

    Used up all our goals against Brighton and haven’t scored since. FACT!

    Bollocks. It was Jim and Guru fucking with the match threads. Those guys need to find a way to fix it, and fast.

    Not far off.
    Since putting four past Ipswich, we've scored four goals in seven games (and two of those were v spudz, so drawn a blank in four games)

    Looked at the team, and thought "that's a solid selection". Looked at their team and thought "Hmmm, I'd rather be them". which is a measure of how we have overperformed. There are a lot of teams like that, that we will finish above.

    I did the same and thought why are they playing their best team from the start 12 days before the most important game for them since they were last in the Cup Final?

    They have good players, but (according to my Boss, who is a Palace fan) they can be flaky. A game where all 3 results are entirely possible, & frankly I wouldn’t like to pick which of the 3 is most likely.

    Mathematically we can just about afford to lose (astonishingly), but realistically I’d say we need a point, minimum

    We should have made it a loan condition that Turner has to play against us.

    Yes, I know we can't.

    Interesting that we have set up more to have the ball, than to be without the ball - with very disciplined distances. Presumably because teams have let us have more of the ball recently.

    ...and working hard, playing well, with confidence so far. No guarantee of outcome, but we look at it. What an admirable bunch of players.
