Crystal Palace (A) build up thread

[Johnny75]

Home and away are outmoded concepts now

I'm fairly sure physics and geography aren't.

 

[redvictor]

Are we 'expecting' a win? I'm never that confident whoever we're playing

I'm expecting a result. That covers all bases..

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’m expecting a win. We are better 1 to 11, their form just as bad as hours, we tend to do well against them.

A draws not a catastrophe but if this isn’t a game we are confident of winning we may as well pack up now and take 15th

 

[Freddeno]

Im expecting a draw but would love awin of course.wonder who have problems besides RAN, Coady concussion? Podence? Some covid thing?

 

[Johnny75]

I forgot about Coady’s head injury Fred, you’re right he could well be in concussion protocol.

 

[YoungWolf]

Could be anything couldn't it. Suppose if Coady was unavailable it would be Semedo-Boly-Kilman-Saiss?

Does feel like there will need to be a few changes, which may dictate what shape we play when I reckon ideally Nuno would have played 343

 

[YoungWolf]

Doesn't seem to have been any leaked team news today! Wonder if that is down to some late fitness checks

 

[Tredman]

Urgh.

Saiss has been used as the Centre of the 3 a couple of times, even with Coady in. So Boly - Saiss- Kilman could be used if Coads is out

yeah MrJamez just said he's not getting the team before official announcement....possibly a late fitness check

 

[Tredman]

Is saiss not injured?

 

[YoungWolf]

Is saiss not injured?

Was back on the bench at Chelsea

 

[Kenny]

Is saiss not injured?

On the bench on Wednesday so presume OK (even if we did put a 10% fit Boly on the bench v Burnley)

 

[redvictor]

At least it's keeping Palace guessing!

 

[Jinky]

It’s a good point on Coady - it could be him missing. Would make sense for Nuno to be frustrated by that, considering he’s literally just chosen to go to a back three again.

I guess we’ll find out in 15 minutes!

 

[Tony Towner]

Alledgedly
Podence, Traore, RAN out

Moutinho, Jose, Hoever in

#creative

 

[YoungWolf]

That will mean Traore and Podence aren't completely fit then.

With Semedo also on the left it's unlikely to be pretty today. All I give a toss about is the result though if I am honest at the moment.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not the usual ITK, so may be just be an attention seeker

 

[Kenny]

3-5-2 if that's the case? Neto up top with Jose

 

[Tredman]

If Pod, Traore and RAN aren’t fit there’s no much else to do - Vitinha perhaps?
