JRM Posted 24 October, 2011 Share Posted 24 October, 2011 Most of you have a lot of changes to make to your predicted line-ups. Adkins confirms that... Ward-Prose Reeves Martin De Ridder Bialkowski ...will all start. I reckon Luke Shaw will be on the bench again as well. i don't even know what Reeves and Ward-Prowse look like, let along where they play, looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully progressing in the cup, bit worried we'll be so under strength we'll go out even to a weakened Palace team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 24 October, 2011 Share Posted 24 October, 2011 For support to Lambert we have SDR Guly & DC fighting for 2 places. DC & Guly looked tired and off the pace Saturday, they NEED a rest. The Boro game is WAY more important than the Palace game He also will not play 3 of his 4 main CM's - again Chaplow has been magnificent but it is about the rotation So we have a defence that means Jos has to play (again) with Martin as we have no cover, but with the FB's of Harding & Butters. But the burden on the forward players is the problem Rotation means Cork & Morgan in CM Lallana just back from a knock most likely only on the bench so the question then is about Lee Holmes. Is HE fit? IF he is then with Guly off the pace we are still short of a RM option Is Dickson back in the frame with Holmes on the left leaving SDR & Forte up front? Nige has to pick the strongest team he can for a tough cup tie BUT he cannot risk losing at home to Boro on Saturday by having MORE players having "I'm tired" days, He said words to that effect after Saturday's game. The biggest test will be whether SDR or DC starts. IF DC starts then we know SDR will play upfront on Saturday with RL No reason the bench should not be RL, AL, Chappers, Fonte & some kids The only way to play Guly is IF he can be rested Saturday the midfield actually looks short of options ATM This talks lots of sense - the only thing I would add is Guly and DC need a week or two's rest as they are off the pace mentally at the moment too....They both will not be right for Boro in any case and should be dropped.

Copy-pasting someone else's team and then making changes. No, I won't be expecting Jonno to play in 2 places! Seems NA has said Ben Reeves will play, so I'll have to put him in.

Don't necesarrily have a problem with it, but just a bit of a surprise that we're chucking even more youngsters in as we progress further in the competition, guess it shows how much of a toll the regular games are having on our first team and maybe the progress made by some of the young lads in the last couple of months.

Travel by train from London to the majority of home and away games and would say over the course of the season, it costs me between £2 and £2.5K. Has meant that its harder to turn jobs down (finding jobs is enough of a struggle right now) and have to think twice about spending money during the week and going on holidays. One silver lining is that the time spent traveling means its harder to pi $$ money up the wall on a saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 25 October, 2011 Share Posted 25 October, 2011 For anyone else travelling tonight, we'll have to be on top form if we want to out sing Palace.

The Cat Posted 25 October, 2011 Share Posted 25 October, 2011 They can't have kids at least not young ones....... I do, but then I'm at home with the little one all week and sort the older one out for school every day so it's not like I'm at work all week and then out all day Saturday too. As someone said above it just depends what you prioritise. I basically have a part time job so I can afford to go to most Saints games. If people REALLY want to go they'll find a way.

Sour Mash Posted 25 October, 2011 Share Posted 25 October, 2011 Anyone had the time to look on Palace's site and see what sort of team they're likely to put out?

In the last round against Boro they kept their central defence and strike pair the same as usual and changed virtually everything else. Side was still good enough to beat Boro though,think Palace have a fair old squad at their disposal,a lot of familiar names in there. If we really go for our youth they may well be too good for us.

disconnect Posted 25 October, 2011 Share Posted 25 October, 2011 Yep, a Palace supporting mate told me their not expecting many changes tonight, but might give 2 or 3 of Murray / Scannell / Ambrose / Zaha a rest. A few of their younger players (Williams, O Keefe) are actually better than a few of their more experienced players anyway, so could be a tough one. Hoping that Reeves and Ward-Prowse impress and looking forward to my first away match in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
