Crystal Palace v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Palace began their top flight career in the 1969-70 season and that coincided with my one year of living in Addiscombe on the outskirts of Croydon. They drew their first home game with Manchester United 2-2 in front of 48,610 people. I was there to see Mel Blyth open the scoring for Palace on 11 minutes. Bobby Charlton equalised for United on 24 minutes before Gerry Queen put Palace ahead on 40 minutes. Willie Morgan equalised for United on 55 minutes and that completed the scoring. The United team had Best, Law and Charlton playing for them and Palace had Mark Lazarus who had previously played 9 games for Wolves, scoring 3 goals in the process. Palace beat Wolves 2-1 on 22 November that season with Dave Wagstaffe opening the scoring on 3 minutes, but 2 goals from Trevor Dawkins at 32 and 74 minutes sealed our fate in front of 23,585 people.

My memories of Wolves at Selhurst Park are not particularly happy ones so I hope that will be rectified this afternoon. We shall see.

So, COYW do your best and make us proud of you!

 

[Bostin]

I understand managing Sasa, but what’s Doc got to do to get a game?!

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Wow, Gonzalez on the bench. Shocked but pleased.

 

[Bill McCai]

Was Tommy Doyle eligible?

 

[tonto]

Hwang fit then

 

[StaffordWolf]

Come in lads! Silva to bag his first and second prem goals today!!

 

[Darvo]

Wow, Gonzalez on the bench. Shocked but pleased.

I got a feeling this lad might just surprise us.

 

[Contrarian]

Hwang on the bench - couldn't have been his hamstring gone, then?

 

[brianm]

I got a feeling this lad might just surprise us.

If this kid is good, that is such an incredible scouting job.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Come in lads! Silva to bag his first and second prem goals today!!

Let's go all out and get his first hatrick

 

[Big Saft Kid]

I think I would have picked Doc, not Semedo

 

[SA Wolf]

Of the four new faces, the one I least expected to be playing a part was Gonzalez. Shows what I know. . Also thought Hwang might be out for longer. Glad he isn't.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Hang on a minute, Does this Neto is on the left?

Special guest in the house

 

[Ches78]

Fingers crossed Sarabia can keep some of his form from the Blackpool game, although obviously against very different opposition...

 

[NothingButNeto]

Looking at this bench and it’s both strong and weak at the same time - who makes our 9 person bench next week? Still have to fit Santi, Doyle and Bellegarde.

 

[SA Wolf]

Fraser also on the bench. Prem debut today?

 

[Bill McCai]

Was Doyle eligible today?

 

[Arc]

Very glad to see hwangs injury wasn't serious, he'll be an important player for us this season I reckon

 

[FJRWolf]

Probably the team I would have gone with,
Bog standard 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1?

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Was Doyle eligible today?

Think so, think it would just of been Bellegarde that wasn't in time

 

[StaffordWolf]

Fraser also on the bench. Prem debut today?

The lad has earned it!

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

So is it Sarabia on the right, Neto on the left and Cunha behind Fabio (my choice)
Or is some *******s like Neto on the right, Cunha on the left and Sarabia as the 10?
Or are they constantly and beautifully going to switch positions, run rings round Palace and win 3-0...

 

[O.W.E.I]

I understand managing Sasa, but what’s Doc got to do to get a game?!

A decent haircut?

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Got to play with freedom and not fear or palace will hurt us with their pace

 

[clivewolves]

Good team. Good bench. If the lads perform we can get a good result today. I think both sides are evenly matched.

 

[Hawkguy]

I understand managing Sasa, but what’s Doc got to do to get a game?!

Well Semedo has been arguably our best player in 2 of 3 games, so how do you bench him, especially when Doc played our game on Tuesday.

 

[Wolf316]

Good line up and pleasantly surprised to see Enso on the bench.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Wolves win and villa losing 5-0 would be a fantastic Sunday

 

[Redhillwolf]

Was Doyle eligible today?

Guessing he’s not match fit, similar to Bueno as neither have played yet this season presuming Bellegarde maybe not even in country yet. Excited to see Gonzalez on there though!

 

[clivewolves]

I heard on the radio Doyle has a slight knock that's ruled him out.

 

[JonahWolf]

Looks good enough to me. Whether Sarabia can be as effective against proper level opposition remains to be seen, but gotta be worth another spin after Tuesday.
Can’t wait til Sasa actually able to start games.

 

[Hawkguy]

Was Tommy Doyle eligible?

I think in theory they could have all been eligible of we registered them straight away. But Gonzalez is likely the only one who has had a few training sessions.

Looking at this bench and it’s both strong and weak at the same time - who makes our 9 person bench next week? Still have to fit Santi, Doyle and Bellegarde.

Probably Fraser, Toti, and Traore.

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Was Doyle eligible today?

Maybe he has gone on strike.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

That palace team is hash

 

[O.W.E.I]

Selhurst Park, like Craven Cottage is a right dump.

 

[Minimalist]

I understand managing Sasa, but what’s Doc got to do to get a game?!

I suspect Semado is considered better for a back 4. Doc would probably need us to play with wingbacks to get in. Or be saved for the latter parts of the game if we need a goal and are throwing everything at it.

 

[clivewolves]

That palace team is hash

Is that good or bad? I'm not up to date with today's lingo.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Hope our new Paraguayan is fast so that we can call him Speedy González.
