Crystal Palace (H) 2/11: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Writing another game off then with his 10 games mean nothing nonsense. It does if you are only on 2 or 3 points and need European form for the rest of the season just to stay up! Don’t forget we can write off another 8 games from that because they are top 8 sides and we shouldn’t expect anything.

All but Southampton are above us, so we should expect nothing!!!

And then there's fixtures against other teams that had decent windows, write those off too

 

[Del Woppio]

On Johnstone: "Him and Jose have both benefitted from the situation. He's trained well. Jose, since Sam has come in, has shown he isn't giving up. It's been really good for the group."

It' been great for everybody apart from Jose Sa, Tom King, the defensive line, the bank balance, the squad balance and the wage bill

 

[WVWolf]

Glasner confirms Eze and Wharton are out of the game.

Great opportunity for us.

It might make them a bit more pragmatic and mean we have to try and make things happen, what could possibly go wrong?
Yep I'm still on a downer.

Yep, not saying we will win, and it could be difficult the way you say, but we realistically couldn't ask for much more.

Yeah, despite GONs nonsense comments, we should absolutely be targeting this as potential win.

From the BBC live page….

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner gave injury updates on several members of his squad.
On Eberechi Eze, who limped off in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Aston Villa: "He's injured. He has a hamstring injury and we will miss him for at least against Wolves and against Fulham. Then we have the international break, and then let’s see, but he will be out for those two games.
"There is hope [he will return after that], but it will be very ambitious to have him back after the international break. I know we have a great medical department and he will work hard, so let’s see."
On right-back Joel Ward: "Joel missed the Aston Villa game, but it’s not that serious. He will miss the Wolves game but should be available against Fulham."
On midfielder Jefferson Lerma: "Jefferson is also out, at least until the international break."
On midfielder Cheick Doucoure, who has been out with a long-term Achilles problem: "Cheick Doucoure will be back in the squad maybe earlier than we expected. Of course, we’re missing many players now. For sure, he can’t be at 100%, but it’s important that he’s with us."
On defender Chris Richards: "Next week Chris Richards should train with us if everything goes the right way, and that’s the positive news."
As things stand, the Eagles will be without seven first-team players for Saturday's match.

 

[Tredman]

Fucking lose this and he's not sacked it will be all aboard the relegation train

 

[Trips]

I boarded that train a few weeks ago

 

[Tredman]

Same, but plenty haven't. Get a point and no doubt there will be some guy on here again wanging on about scrapping.

 

[ROVERT47]

At least with Eze out there’s not likely to be a worldie from outside the box while our defenders stand back and admire.

You had to post that didn't you?

 

[ROVERT47]

Yeah, kiss of death.

 

[Mel Evo]

You have said this now and will no doubt reflect on those words deeply at some point between 17:30 and 19:30 tomorrow.

Likely to be about 10ish while I’m having my nightly tipple and raging about O’Neil.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I mean, JAMES SCOWCROFT did this against us for Palace once. Anything is possible.

 

[prawnking]

Glasner confirms Eze and Wharton are out of the game.

Great opportunity for us.

Forgive the 'wolfism', but been bitten too many times by teams being without their 'best players' and then someone else in their team stepping up and shitting on us to take it too seriously

 

[Sniffer]

Which year was the 3-0 home defeat where David Hopkin run the show?

Edit 1997

 

[ROVERT47]

Not very good at remembering previous games but we do seem to have been shafted by Palace at Molineux quite a lot over the years.
Edit: just seen Dan’s introduction.
