Do you think we will be above Palace when we play them?

Its all getting very interesting in the build up to the match. We are picking up the points now and only 6 points behind with a game in hand. Palace fixtures Derby((A) Leeds(H)Hull(H)and ours are Huddersfield(H) Bristol City (A) Bolton (A) and Barnsley (A). What do you think? Will we be above them on 17th?

Their home form is pretty good, unfortunately, so could see them taking 6 points out of those 3 games. Even if they only took 3, we would need 9 points to match and 10 to pass them from our 4 games. That's possible but unlikely as Bolton are flying now and Barnsley are in a relegation dog fight and will be a tough nut to crack there. Still I'd settle for 3 points on the night drawing us level with them :)

Think if we beat them we will probably move to within two or one point of them.

Sadly though I think they will beat us as you just know which two players will now score

Need to forget about them and concentrate on our own form we are now in a top 6 spot and need to push on and cement it.

It is all about matching or beating the points tally of those below us now

Which two do you have in mind? Dobbie can't play against us.

For what it's worth, I think we can beat them. Our full backs need to play well to stop Bolasie and Zaha providing Murray with the ammunition. They are dangerous going forward but vulnerable in defence and we have got more than enough quality to punish them.

Which two players were you thinking? Murray obviously one of them but Dobbie is unable to play against us.

I think we will be 3 points behind them after the big game after it ending in a draw.

Dobbie can't play against us in the Palace game.

For me Bristol City needed to take points off them in their last home game for it to happen. Still have money on it with a friend that this will be the game we catch up and this is the Championship so who knows...

It looks like that Zaha and Murray are walking the yellow card tightrope.
They are both on 8 yellows with three games to go before playing us.
Jedinak is on 7, would it be too much to hope all three are suspended?

They will work it that they get yellow cards a couple of games before us, and be rested and raring to go.

Any one of the 3 would be good. Fingers crossed.
