Crystal Palace - Nottingham Forest

[DeesideRed]

I have a feeling Palace might rest Mateta and one or two others.

Wishful thinking

[Trailer Park Tom]

Palace will be strong and well rested. It's down to our away heroics.

The dark arts would be somebody smashing Eze hoping it makes him start thinking about the final

Why not? If Man City can have 115 charges against them and avoid penalty, Chelsea can do what they’ve done, Bournemouth etc etc, wtf not get at Palace and see if they’re up for it. No doubt we’ll be slagged off if we get into them but fk that and fk what people think of us. We’re underdogs fighting against a rigged system, fking have at it and fight like dogs*. Nobody is giving us anything.

*not literally, given that refs will be happy to send our players off

Palace wobbled after making the semis. There season rests on the fa cup. Its a massive occasion for the club. It is very possible that there players will be a little more reluctant to go into the challenge for fear of injury...


Well, that is what I'm hoping for

What an utterly depressing football weekend for us.

We now have to get a hugely difficult away win just to stay behind.

I cant believe how bad our position is after looking so comfortable.

I think it is brilliant and 95% of clubs would love to swap places with us.

It’s been coming for a while, our form has dropped off considerably in this half of the season and the teams above (and annoyingly below) are catching up. 
40 points from 20 games first half 20 points from 14 so far. 
We’ve lost too many games in this period. 
Think we need 1 more win from somewhere otherwise we could miss out altogether.

Looks like we're going to need at least 3 wins now and one of those has to be against Chelsea. That's a big ask with our current form.

CL chance has gone , we need 1 more win for EL I think, I’m more concerned about Bmth and Brentford behind us.

Can’t help it. 
I remember Sabri and Swansea.
Bournemouth and Brentford both have winnable ’cup runs’ in my opinion. 
If I was the manager of either I would absolutely be targeting us and saying to my team ‘look at their form, lost x amount of games we can catch them’ 

The longer we go without a win the more likely they are to catch us.
