I think that’s curtains for us, and to add insult to injury when we get beat off Palace tomorrow I’ll be walking the banned tightrope on here 🙃, I’ve enjoyed my time on NSC.
I agree. Sadly for everyone, I just can't see anything other than a Palace win here.

Isn’t that CP’s best XI?

Whilst for the second season in a row we suffer a series of key injuries. Strange how these patterns occur. Spurs too have the injuries curse.
I've, mentioned this before, but Palace's best 11 contains 10 players between 24-29 years of age.
Their fitness record, whilst fortunate, also has a lot to do with predominantly focussing on players in their physical prime.

But possibly also that they're willing, like Forest, to let opponents have the ball. They're not a high pressing side but tend to hit on the counter attack, so perhaps they're doing less running around and are therefore less susceptible to fatigue? Forest's injury record this season has been crazily good- talk about all your stars aligning.

Yes, this is probably a big factor two.
Both combined, leaves us where we are.
 
























Ah well 🤣
