Team for Blackpool

Hopefully we'll have a lot more options for this one, although I doubt Buckley or LuaLua will be given a start if fit.

Lopez--------------Orlandi--------------Barnes

Why on earth would Barnes be in the starting line up?

Possibly because Ulloa has been left very isolated in the past few games, hence why he hasn't scored as many (in my opinion).

I don't want barnes anywhere near the starting line up. Liability. Gus has said Kaz and Buckley will be fit for Saturday

Lethargic · Apr 17, 2013

I think Buckley will start instead of Barnes in your line up and be replaced by Lua Lua on 60 mins other than that the same. Barnes on the bench.

Blue Valkyrie · Apr 17, 2013

Rest Leo from the start and bring him on if needed, or sub him off after 60 minutes

BensGrandad · Apr 17, 2013

I would expect the same starting XI with Barnes Buckley and Lua Lua on the bench or at the most if a changer is made Buckley in for Crofts as we are at home and need to attack more. I would think that at some point Barnes will come on for Ulloa to rest him.

stugbhafc1 · Apr 17, 2013

Barnes is lucky we have a few missing or i wouldnt even have him in the squad

robbie c · Apr 17, 2013

Harsh on Crofts as Bridcutt Hammond and Crofts makes the spine very strong. I expect yesterday's team to line up in the last away game at Leeds with a couple rested for Saturday.Barnes on the bench, he will come on at 70 minutes, be booked for dissent on 75 minutes to prove he has learnt his lesson!

BobbySmith · Apr 17, 2013

Agree, not good enough and a liability to use, rather use a young striker like Barker, Barnes has let the club down badly, when we have had 5 strikers/wingers out, we needed all the players we had. Get rid please. I would not even put him on the bench under any circumstances to
Be honest. He has had enough chances to change his attitude, and he has failed.

He has only been sent off twice where it was his thought you ****ing imbecile. That is one chance. Ok? Stop with the bloody anti-Barnes tirade, everybody. It's just annoying now. We have had other players sent off more times, but where are the attacks on them? Seems as though Barnes is used as a scapegoat for everything. He is a good player and MUST be in the team for the rest of the season.

Yes - def bench ulloa to rest him. More need for him in away games. Start with Barnes and bring ulloa on to play with barnes if needed. Barnes owes us, he will repay us too no doubt.

Can't see Barnes starting but will be one of Buckley/KLL

Vicente might get a start too and rest Orlandi, but not sure why he didn't make squad last night (precautionary or injury)

Google me = Barnes is only 23! That's why he acts like a t**t sometimes.

The Merry Prankster · Apr 17, 2013

Barnes should be used to replace Ulloa when he runs out of puff, which he does every game.

Marshy · Apr 17, 2013

If Buckley is fit he will start in place of Crofts.

Hopefully Vicente will be available too, we may well need him for 30 mins.

robynsdad · Apr 17, 2013

I think it will be an all out attack early on with Barnes, Leo and possibly Lualua or Buckley depending on fitness. Hoping to get an early goal or two so we can rest Leo. I'd imagine he needs a rest! Would be great to get ahead and then give the youngsters and maybe vicente a real chance to strut their stuff without too much pressure. This is all wishful thinking as I'm sat in the south stand on Saturday, so hoping to see our goals close up!

chucky1973 · Apr 17, 2013

Dont change the home formation, if KLL and Buckley are fit, then they both have to start and go at Blackpool from the off. Crofts or Hammond to the bench and have Orlandi and Lopez in with Bridcutt. Barnes bench at best.

Stat Brother · Apr 17, 2013

The Palace team was a thing of beauty.

Barnes & Vicente on the bench if it goes one way.
Crofts and Hammond if it goes the other.

This management lark is a piece of urine.
