Bubbles Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 palace taking this seriously, seems we are too, just not as much. Relatively strong team, i guess... Hopefully whittaker can bag. 3-1 loss im saying, a goal and i’ll be satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Are we really that bothered in all honesty? Players coming back from injury getting minutes, academy grads getting more game time a long side some older, experienced heads. The Forest away game I personally thought he hung the kids out to dry but this is a decent mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also doesnt fancy working his in-form players in to the ground during a busy period of the season. A sensible selection in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Pretty much exactly the team I kinda expected. Fair play. Extremely slow in the middle of the park, but equally also very intelligent. I fear we’ll be cut apart from a lack of mobility, but imagine if it worked?! Huddlestone and Rooney would tear teams apart with their passing. Both are two steps ahead of the game when fully fit, just worrying neither of them are.

ariotofmyown Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 This from my mate who supports Palace... Stronger team than I was expecting. Though only 3 starters when everyone fit - Cahill, Milivojevic and Ayew. But due to the injuries, we’ve yet again got two central midfielders in the back four. They’ve been doing a good job, but worth having a go at them. We’ve also got nothing on our bench aside from a good defensive midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 For anyone moaning about the selection, what is Cocu supposed to do when the lads that have been rested played 73 minutes against Charlton with 10 men then a hard 90 against Barnsley? These young lads need to adjust, burning them out instantly will increase the likelihood of injury and then you will be moaning that nobody is ever fit. The bloke cant win.

Sith Happens Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I can't work out if people are genuinely moaning or not. I think its a good line up for a competition we wont win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superzak Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Well im happy with that side. So what if we get stuffed by a prem side. The priority is climbing that championship ready for next seasons assault on the league. Positives...Huddz and Bogle back from injury...more academy stars bloodied on the big stage...and our established stars are getting a rest. All positives no matter what the end result is...

I guess, but I think if I had been Cocu it might have been the team more or less I would have picked. Giving a couple of youngsters a rest, some other youngsters a chance, giving a couple of fringe players an opportunity, and getting a few yards into Huddlestone and Rooney. Shows how short of options we are at centre back that Davies is not rested, and we are back again with Forsyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Would appear Marriott's legs are made of papier-mâché. Heyho, Palace are not messing about and have put out a strong side so just hoping we show some fight and the kids continue with their 'education'. Everyone has written off Lawrence so he'll probably score today just to wind everyone up even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
