Possibly, but in my mind Weiffer is a horses for courses selection here.

Palace won't play any football, they didn't at ours. It will be a congested scrap in midfield. In that circumstance Ayari won't perform. Give him wide open spaces in an end to end match and I'd pick him before Weiffer

I have no idea. Nobody really cares what anybody's opinion about any final score is, unless you're the bookie taking bets off the mugs who're putting money on it (and I spend most of my working days trading the Dax equity index so I'm not particularly risk-averse).

I went for "other" as I NEVER expect to get anything from matches against THEM, and really don't enjoy the run-up to them or the matches themselves. Doesn't help that they are so insufferable too (especially when they've had the odd result).

I'm quite confident in this being a battling draw, where we show mettle more than quality at points.

I've gone no, but that is based on the last 30 mins of last night. With Baleba and Minteh starting we may look a little different. I'm hanging onto that. Forest and Villa are far better teams than that lot too.

IMO we now have too many youngsters or players with very little EPL experience in our side.

This is something that is being a bit overlooked I think.

I suspect even Liverpool or Man City would struggle to beat Forest and Villa on current form. We went toe-to-toe with both and we have been in-form ourselves, and it is demoralising that we ended up on the wrong side of both results. Against Bournemouth and Newcastle in the cup, it was the other way round in similarly close games. These things happen, no need to shit the bed.

As with 40% of all Premier league games between us, and 70% of the games at Selhurst, I expect us to draw 1-1.

Palace beat Villa 4-1 at Selhurst a few weeks ago...

Other... see no point in "expecting" anything from a game that seems very unpredictable.

In other words, 10th.

Be interesting to see how we'd all feel about finishing 10th and with no European football? Do we just accept we are now a mid-table club? No bad thing in the grand scheme of things, by the way.

Nailed on loss, with no Webster and the goals conceded last night are CP's forte.

Which is why it would be irresponsible as well as arrogant to play a high line against Palace. If we do I’ll revert to doubting FH’s PL qualities
