Palace Game - Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

[Cheeky Monkey]

Should we be blooding transfer window signings for this fixture or stick with those who are familiar with each other and our style of play? Personally I think we'll be alright as we are against a toothless Palace team low on confidence and us having had an excellent run of results of late.

A derby game, all bets & form go out the window! Time for players to stand up and be counted, I was confident for the first game, so won't be the same mistake tomorrow!

Sparrows doubtful ,i hope we don't start with navarro.

I think Sparrow has been great in the last 6 games or so, but we do look a bit more solid at the back with Navarro playing. No complaints from me if either play

Navarro has looked solid.

Brez
Calde dunk Greer el abd

Sparrow Bridcutt Navarro

Buckley CMS Barnes

Subs: Gonzalez, defender, JFC, LuaLua, Vokes

Noone?

I must be one of the few that didnt like seeing El Abd at left back on Saturday and I think that had Ben Arfa taken him on and been more direct like Buckley or Lua Lua does he would have struggled but then aagin I prefer him to Dunk in central defence. I would edge towards Vincelot at left back although not entirely happy with him as I prefer a left footed left back.

He's still injured and Sparrow left the ground on crutches on Saturday so very unlikely.

Sparrow will be a big loss if he's not fit, fingers crossed he is.

Would play the same XI as Saturday if possible. Otherwise Navarro in for Sparrow, which will put a lot of pressure on JFC being the creative force in midfield

I personally thought that he prevented Ben Arfa taking him on, mainly by (surprisingly) getting ahead of the frenchman and intercepting the ball. I hope he keeps that spot, I think he's brilliant.
