my starting XI for Palace .

Bywater

Quinn
Hudson
Keinen
Mc Naughton

Burke ( DJ will pick Whitts )
Olli
McPhail
JET

Parkin ( DJ will pick Bothroyd)
Chopra

Burkes off the boil atm so I would not pick him. Agree with Parkin for Bothroyd.

?'s about the way Bywater controlled the box and how quiet he was. Didn't think much of his kicks either from hand or the ground. I know you could say that it was his first match, but being a keeper if you want an easier game you control/talk to the defence control the box and give your defence confidence in your ability, didn't think he done that on Saturday imo.
Give Brown a go and let them both prove that they want it more.

Completely agree about Burke, he's really off the boil (has been most of the season) and I though Whitts played very well on Saturday particularly 1st half.

Bothroyd would be dropped on current form but if we're going to go up we need Jay and Chops scoring goals regularly and maybe a game against a struggling team is just the opportunity both need to get on the scoresheet

Depending on Chops' ankle problem and Oli being fit I just wonder whether DJ will go with 5 in midfield just to give Chops a rest

thats whi i would pick but bothroyd and whitts are guaranteed a start even if they had both legs in plaster

Id go

Bywater

Quinn (Blake if not fit)
Macnaughton
Keinan
Hudson

Jet
Koumas
Olly
Burke

Parkin
Chopra

Id love to see Koumas start in centre MF but I dont think he's match fit yet to give a full 90 mins ........... Bullard and Ramsey have shown to us recently what needs to be done

We definately need a ball winner in midfield so if Oli isn't fit, then for me Blake should be stuck in there

Don't agree with Burke - not been playing well and for all the criticism of Whittingham, I think he's been playing ok

3 point on Tuesday boys please

Bywater

Quinn
Keinan
Hudson
Super Kev

Witts
McPhail
Oli
Bellamy

Jay
Chopra

I cant see Bellamy playing Luke with his dodgy Knees

He has played on a sat and a Tues a few times tho GG. If he doesnt play I would bring Jet in

id like to see

Bywater

Quinn
Hudson

Kev

Burke
Mcphail
Oli ( if not fit, whitts)
Bellamy

JET
Chopra

...but he wont drop golden boy jay will he

i want koumas getting more game time i hasnt lost is skill or vision

same starting 11 as saturday.
why not?
best football of the season.
new system worked apart from scoring

I think we missed Oli a lot against Ipswich, we had no real destructive element to the midfield. Our midfield is the nicest of the nice and that's our problem. Admittedly, bar a few moments when McPhail lunges in!
