Crystal Palace v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

Guzan

Bacuna.  Richards.   Clark.   Amavi

      Gana.      Sanchez.       Westwood

                    Grealish
         
                Ayeu.      Gestede

I can't see them playing Adama, as Sid said it might take a while for him to get up to speed to the English league.

Not happy with Guzan starting near the corner flag.

See this is what happens when some fans start to believe the second set of goalposts sometimes seen on the pitch before the game used for warm up is the real one. All of a sudden formations are established and we wonder then why teams are scoring in to the open net when the game commences. It's particularly concerning when our goalkeeper forgets as Brad did versus Man City away last season.

It's a new variation on the Lambert goal kick.

Sometimes I think we might actually play better with a  keeper glued to the corner flag

He's actually in the crowd there.

For at least half the game, he's going to be amongst those fucking irritating noisy Palace teenagers who seem to stand in that corner.

I love H&V...if ever I need to laugh...

Listen to Oprah, Brad.

This is very much a game where nailing the right tactics can very quickly nullify the opposition. I'm hoping sherwood Wilkins and parks have identified what's required.

I did notice that when they had the warm up goals near the corner flag that Heskey was fairly prolific.

Yes he was hitting with regularity the corner of the pitch without goals.

[Villa Lew]

Hopefully Adama will be given a 15/20 minute run at the end. Need to get the boy match fit.

As we will be winning 3-1, he will come on and we'll score another two

Well I was feeling positive about this game, but having read Gregg Evans article in the Mail I now realise we have no chance.  I appreciate him dampening my optimism and I can now prepare myself for the mauling we will undoubtedly, and deservedly, receive from this forward thinking shining light of a club.

All is well with the world.

Lawrenson has us down to lose 2-0 and we all know how much he knows.
