I think it'll be much closer than it has been for a long time down there but I don't think the final score will look that way. I can see it being something like 3-1 or 4-1. It will feel close without being close. I think our bowlers will be fine. Providing we don't get an unfortunate run of injuries (entirely possible with the likes of Archer, Wood and Stokes) I think we'll have enough to take 100 wickets in the series. My worry is what will the likes of Pope, Crawley and Bethell bring to the table and will the likes of Duckett, Root and Brooks perform like we know they can. I'm not sure. I can see individual performances here and there but I don't think we'll have enough team efforts to get 2/3 wins.

I've never watched Aluko play but i'd rather we gave the lad a go on the off chance he might be slightly better than Kristiansen or Thomas. It's not like it's a high bar. I think my team would be; Stolarcyzk Ricardo Okoli Vestergaard Aluko Winks James Fatawu Reid Mavididi Ayew Didn't think there would be a time where I would think that Ayew up front and Reid in the 10 would be our best option but this is life under Aiyawatt.

Best part was when they just ****ed off and left the goal on the pitch.

Just spent a few minutes thinking about what 11 I would be happy with and it's impossible.

I'd pick 11 players, personally.

I'll give you one reason. His knees are held together with chewing gum and his first whiff of Seagrave will put him in A and E.

For his Leicester career, for sure. But I don't think many people will put too much emphasis on failing here. We're a basket case of a club and he hasn't spent a penny. I suspect he'd get another job at this level.

I think he'd take someone like Fulham into Europe and a side like West Ham into League 1. He needs the team to be ready built for him and by the time he leaves it'll be a pile of rubble but he will get results. Maybe with a top quality DOF with a set ethos and style he could leave a club in good shape.

You have to laugh really. We knew that we'd lose Buonanotte and that El Khannouss was absolutely desperate to move yet decided to wait until deadline day to sign someone that's barely jogged for 18 months. People will still refuse to blame Aiyawatt and Rudkin though. Must be Cifuentes' fault for daring to play our only number 10.

Ordinary management, yes. But I think pretty much every top football manager is a twat.

I don't think you could say he's a terrible manager when you look at his record. Like him or loathe him (I don't really think anyone likes him) but he gets results. I agree he'd be better as a national team manager though. He shouldn't be anywhere near finances or transfers.

Why stop there? Lets go for the Dean Smith 4-3-3. Get all three strikers playing.

I think it sours because he's a twat more than him not being a good manager.

I think it's more that people are waking up to the fact that Aiyawatt and Rudkin are (and always have been) the problem. Rodgers is undoubtedly a tosser so I wouldn't exactly be happy with having him back but we know he's a very good manager and I doubt we could get a similarly talented manager through the door. But nothing is worth doing until Aiyawatt and Rudkin go.

hahahaha just seen they're putting this thing on youtube for free tonight. Another large L for the King Power fanclub.

He's a steady goalkeeper that has a howler in him. Bit of a David James type where you won't notice him doing well but you'll notice the massive error that results in a goal.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have world class academies and £1bn valued squads. The quality of Palace drops off massively when they start having to include reserves/youth in their teams.

They've got 17 games between now and the FA Cup 3rd Round. Given that includes an international break, Palace have a game every roughly every 3.5 days.

They're being forced into making changes for one of their games through no fault of their own. The schedule is totally stupid and is harming the game. The spectacle is worse for paying fans too.

Just read an article saying there were 500 people there last night. If you were one of them.... have a bit of shame.

He's not a number 10, he doesn't have anything to prove to us, no resale value, massive wages, never fit, dodgy attitude and he takes the position of probably the only good player we have. Yes. He is rubbish.

If we look at the goals we've scored, it's no wonder our results have dropped. The only goals we've scored from open play that don't go into the "screamer" category or were handed to us by a defensive error are the Monga goal against PNE, the Ricardo goals against Birmingham and Oxford, the James goal against Wrexham and the Ramsey goal against Portsmouth. 5 goals in 12 games in sustainable methods (not a screamer or handed to us on a plate by a defensive mistake). Chance creation is non-existent. When we were last in the Championship Fatawu, KDH and Mavididi created a combined 63 big chances in our 46 games. That translates to about 1.4 big chances per game. This season, the only players to have registered more than 1 big chance created in the league for us are El Khannouss (3 big chances in 2 games), Ayew (3 in 11), Fatawu (2 in 9) and Choudhury (2 in 8).

Couldn't be further from what we need.

There aren't 21,578 potential burgers, pints, shirts, scarves or programmes being bought for one. Shows solidarity against Chansiri. The entire fanbase (and the vast majority of the staff at the club) wanted him out. Raises awareness for other teams that might not know about what has been going on there. Especially in this world where apparently only the Premier League matters. It's all a big "**** you" to Chansiri and if there's one thing that nepo babies don't like it's being told they're doing a bad job. We're in the same situation with Aiyawatt who is a narcissist and negligent.

If he said yes then I was gonna offer to sell him some magic beans.
