Bubbles Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 4 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: Are we officially safe from being dragged into a relegation battle now then? I agree, play offs would be a massive (and unlikely) bonus and a decent cup run would be fun but, just because we've won two home games against poor opposition doesn't mean we can breath a sign of relief just yet. (New years resolution - to be even more of a miserable old so and so). No, miserable old so and so ? Of course we're not safe from being dragged into a relegation battle, however I personally believe it is unlikely, as do the other optimists on this forum! ? If we play our cards right this window, I think we'll be in a much much better position come start of march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Looking at the Palace injury list on the DET website (if you can stand the ads) they will not be at anything like full strength. Think I might stake a sneaky 10p wager on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Can see Cocu ringing the changes. We’ve just played 2 in 4 days and this will be the 3rd match in 6 days. CB only position we may need to keep players in. Roos Bogle Davies Fozzy Malone Bielik Hudds FloJo Lawrence Whittaker Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.M. Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Roos Wisdom Davies Clarke Lowe Huddlestone Holmes Sibley Rooney Waghorn Marriott Roos needs to be re-integrated, find a way to boost his confidence, we may need him at some point. Back 4 remains the same, Clarke needs minutes for fitness, best to form some partnerships. Bird and Knight get a rest - they'll be needed next week in the league! Rooney, Waghorn and Marriott need to improve their sharpness and cohesiveness as a unit. Subs to include Whittaker, Archie Brown, Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammed79 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hoping to see Martin and Sibley involved in this one and possibly Bielik instead of Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're miles off the play offs, what is the point in concentrating on the league? Good cup runs really lifted the team last season. Agreed. But He thinks long term. 2nd string side - betcha.

Not only played 2 games in 4 days but one of those was with 10 men for 85 mins. Now that the team are starting to fire, I think Palace should be seen as an opportunity for the dropped players to put on a display. Suspect Bielik and Lawrence will be particularly motivated after seeing what how well the midfield has done in their absence. My only change to your team would be Sibley starting instead of Whittaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jram Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'd be for resting a few tbh given the load in recent days, as mentioned by others Rooney looked seriously short of fitness against barnsley so would play him again Roos Bogle, Davies, Clarke, malone bielik, Rooney, shinnie or hudds if either fit Lawrence, Martin, Whittaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
