Scored the same as Murray has done all season, in a mere 10 minutes

Me, defnitely. Barnes scoring 5 goals this season already proves that. He may not be a better player than Murray but his job in the team is to score goals and 5 this season already suggests he's quite good at it. Hoskins is still somewhat of an unknown quantity as he has only played 10 minutes...

Agree I think that one is unlikely. But saying that Murray may not play as much as Noone and they are level on goals at the moment so you never know. I think Barnes, CMS and possibly Hoskins are fair shouts though.

We've not not scored away from home either!

Ahh Mr Wotsit, welcome to the thread. Is that the same CMS that scored the winner at Fratton Park?

That's what I said earlier on, a drab nil nil would be about right after all the build up

Could it be time for the Greer 1-0 bet to finally come in?

We've got CMS and Barnes for finishing off in the box. Murray's skills were outside the box in the build up, holding the ball up and flicking it on etc But we have more than adequately replaced that Harley

I don't think any team will be able to control our forwards and wingers, just too much pace, hard work and skill there to dominate. We just have so many options too, with Lua Lua and Buckley coming off the bench on Saturday to prove that and Vicente and Hoskins still to come.

CMS has scored a few headers, but our team is about playing on the ground not lumping it forward for flicked headers etc. No one has shown Murray's defensive aerial ability though.

Was Ashley Cole one of yours?

Liverpool and Leeds both in 3D

It's easy to underestimate someone when most of us haven't seen him play. This isn't a dig, just something I was thinking about the other day, how many of Palace's youth academy players have actually left Palace and been a success elsewhere?

Don't forget Vicente either :smile:

We're pretty quick at the back and with Dunk and Greer being on top form with 5 clean sheets already this season it will certainly be a close game. I'd say our defence is better than yours and our attack better too so in theory we should shade it, but unfortunately for us this time form goes out...

What I'd give to be touched by Gus....

Agree that the rumour is bollocks, but he certainly looked happy to be with us last year and was worshipped by most fans while he was banging in the goals. Wasn't that long ago Palace fans were moaning about him not clapping them back was it?

Would be tempted with a bet on a drab 0-0 draw after all the hype. Could go either way though and I don't think either team will be thrashed

Not sure why it's gone so badly wrong for them in the last few days? Have they got loads of injuries or something?

Yeah of course we have, I'd say they've been pretty similar actually.
