Pilchard Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It feels like a long time since we got a result at Selhurst. Can't see where goals are coming from and with our comedy defence am expecting a fairly heavy defeat. Especially when you throw Pulis's ability to get results against Villa into the mix. 0-3 loss.

shaggy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 You know it would just be like us when everyone is expecting a defeat against Palace that we pull one out of the bag and get a win. I sincerely hope this is the case because if we do then we should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Following that news: GK Guzan RB Lowton CB Vlaar CB Clark LB Bertrand CM El Ahmadi CM Westwood CM Delph RW Albrighton ST Holt LW Agbonlahor Subs: Steer, Baker, Bennett, Tonev, Weimann, Sylla, Robinson. Otherwise good line-up, but no Bacuna? Even on the bench? Crikey, I knew I'd forgotten someone! I'd put him on the bench instead of Sylla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Lambert only rotates a few starting positions, its hard enough for him to start Albrigton in two games let alone think of including Tonev. as exciting as it gets might be Clark or Lowton make an appearence. anyone with the faint possibility of changing a match will be out of the squad or on the bench and stay there. sorry i'm so jaded by this season and the fact that before any given game it is absolutely impossible to muster any optimism anymore. We only beat Norwich (the last team around or beneath us we managed to beat) because of some outrageous skill from Benteke that seemed to motivate the whole team - as Lambert is incapable of doing this. So no idea what slice of luck or random form will come into play here. I wouldn't bank on Gabby or Weimann turning up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Tonev is quick, direct and seems to keep possession so I agree that he maybe should start. Weimann for me has been very poor this season and someone else deserves his place. Regarding the match, Palace are in form we are not and I suspect Pulis will get his team more motivated than us; I also imagine they can be physical which reflects his own personality as a manager so they will win that battle. We are so lightweight at times, like against Stoke who bullied us and I presume Palace will do the same. I'm fully expecting a 3-1 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Can't see anything other than a loss. I'm not even going to bother watching this one, tired of Villa ruining my Saurday evenings, I'm off out on the razzle instead well away from any tv or football, if we do happen to get a win, I can always watch it on the replay.

TezzRexx Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Wonder if Palace have any spies out at Bodymoor today. Why would they ? Somehow they received Cardiff's team 24 hours before the game. Crystal Palace won 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Id like to see Gabby upfront and replace Benteke. Wiemann and Albrighton in the wide forward roles. Gabby up top and through the middle causes so many problems for defenders. Holt scored but i dont think he can effectively last 90 minutes.. bring him on when everyone is tiring.

But our defence is not that comedy these days, we haven’t been properly hammered in a while (as in by 4 or 5 clear goals) and usually lose by the odd one.

We've conceded 10 goals in the last 3 games, and only lost one of those by the odd goal. I see no real reason to be positive about this game. 3-0 Palace for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd probably go with Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark Bertrand Westwood KEA Delph Albrighton Gabby Weimann I know theres calls for Weimann to be dropped but I have little faith in Tonev and i honestly don't think Holt will be effective against Palace.

roonst83 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Gabby is at his best when he gets behind defenders - his pace hurts teams. However this season he always seems to be in the middle of the park where he is ineffective. If he was played up top then at least we can play to that strength. That said, I think he'll start Holt.

AVTuco Posted April 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd probably go with Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark Bertrand Westwood KEA Delph Albrighton Gabby Weimann I know theres calls for Weimann to be dropped but I have little faith in Tonev and i honestly don't think Holt will be effective against Palace. Bacuna in for Lowton and I'm with you Paul. I'm feeling confident we can get a result here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
