[Archived] Crystal Palace 0 Blackburn Rovers 0

[roversWASmylife]

Must-win game. If we don't win at Palace tomorrow, then I'll be extremely worried with home games coming up against Everton and Newcastle.

Crystal P v Blackburn

[John]

A real test for us tomorrow. Palace will come fired up at us and they think they are better than us.

Feeling very worried and nervous ahead of tomorrow. Saturdays are proving interesting days at the moment and it would be nice to be able to enjoy myself tomorrow night again.

Not going to predict as I simply dont know but I fear the worst....

[Manchester Blue]

Which pub are people meeting at tomorrow then? The one opposite Thornton Heath or the one opposite Norwood Junction.

The Cherry Tree opposite Norwood Junction. We can move on to others if it's crap. Plus it's only 10 minutes away from London Bridge.

Looked on the official site and browsed this page to see if there were still tickets available. I'm guessing there are, but don't want to make a wasted trip. Can anybody enlighten me?

We normally do pretty well in London so fingers crossed.

Had a dream last night and although the score was the wrong way around, it was:

Blackburn 4 Crystal Palace 4

[MCMC1875]

0-2

Thompsn, Dickov.

[SAS]

sorry but palace have a very skillful player in routeledge he will have a field day against our back4. Hopefully he doesnt.

2-1 to palace.

Good thing is i dont think they have good home form though

[waggy]

palarse 1 v 1 rovers

[herbergeehh]

Their three attacking players, (Kolkka, Johnson, Routledge) will ridicule our defence, if we give them any space. They also have a great talent in young Ben Watson, and their goalkeeper is solid.

But, we should be able to trouble their defence. I don't think we'll be able to keep a clean sheet, but I do think we'll score two goals or more today!

Palace 1, Rovers 2.

Ferguson 29'

Gamst Pedersen 79'

Johnson 84'

Could even be a repeat of the classic 5-4 game from the late 80's. Pity there's no Big Co to snatch the last minute winner.

Selhurst Park has so many bad memories but we have done OK there in recent years so I fancy us to sneak a 1-0 win with Bothroyd scoring the winner.

[herbergeehh]

Friedel- Neill, Short, Todd, Matteo- Reid, Flitty, Ferguson, Emerton- Dickov, Bothroyd

Subs: Stead, Johansson, Thompson, Gallagher, Enckelman

No Gamst and no Thommo in the XI..

And for christ sake, MATTEO!

[SAS]

that team would not scare me if i was a palace fanq

[Ewood Dream]

I am simply in tears over that line-up. I am assuring you all that Flitcroft in the line-up today will not work at all and we will suffer because of it. And why oh WHY is Matteo back in the starting line-up... We should of kept Johansson at left-back for away games..

And as for the lack of Pedersen...well I'm beyond words..

matteo can't play at cb never mind lb! We have micky gray and it doesn't matter if hughes has fallen out with him or not he should be in that team! We are much better off with him there tahn matteo, nissa or jay!

[Ewood Dream]

Wayne Routeledge vs. Dominic Matteo.

The words 'full' 'gone' and 'conclusion' spring to mind..

[1864roverite]

oh deary deary me

[Blackpool_Rover]

Im not one for criticising our tactics but FLITCROFT!!!??

Talk about oozing negativity, and matteo...oh god.

Please prove me wrong lads.

[SAS]

well i`m looking on the positive side.

These players should want to play every week, they will try and force themselves in the team with good performances. todays the day to shine.

[krislu]

Wayne Routeledge vs. Dominic Matteo.

thats really bad news, Routeledge will turn Matteo inside out..

[neophox]

Hey

Why the fu** is Matteo and Flitcroft playing???

And where is Gray and Pedersen??? What is Hughes doing.... if we loose today we can surely criticise his coaching!!!

Matteo is crap.......so crap crap crap..

And Short is getting too slow and old now.

We should have started with this side:

Friedel

Neill, Todd, Nils-Eric, Gray

Emerton, Ferguson, Pedersen, Reid

Stead or Gally, Bothroyd

Dickov is annoying me at the moment....he miss sitters...

Thompson isn't match fit enough but good to throw on in the last 20 min.

Thanks for listening....hope Im wrong today about the team and that the players getting their chance shines.

You're funny.

[RoyRover]

Matteo is an absolute joke and putting him at left back against Routledge is a bad decision by Hughes, because not only is Matteo a slow as a brick, he can't defend either. Flitcroft starting in midfield hardly instills me with confidence either.

[krislu]

Emerton, Ferguson, Pedersen, Reid

Pedersen centre midfield? You clearly dont have a clue do you!

[hangthadj]

Stead or Gally, Bothroyd

Dickov is annoying me at the moment....he miss sitters...

i am with you on dickov. the man is all heart but, if we are gonna concede goals (and you know we will) we need some true golalscorers up top.
