Palace Pre-Match Thread

[Kashmire Hawker]

It's Palace at Selhurst Park, looking to make it a clean sweep against The Eagles this season.

A case of two teams not in full flow and need a performance, to give them a kick-start. And even if Wednesday was a unconvential way of getting a point, I really hope our sturn defence carries forth into this afternoon.

Obs worried about Nuno's comment of there being a big problem - one would suspect a key man is out and no one will know who - until the team news hits.

Finally: It does feel nice: TO HAVE A SATURDAY 3PM KICK OFF - for the 1st time since Brighton at Molineux pre-Lockdown 1 on March 7th 2020!

If you happen to experience any strange gravitational anomalies today, don't panic, we're just entering Zaha's orbit. We should manage to pull free of it with three points later today.

We've done pretty well against Palace in recent seasons. Hopefully, it will continue today.

Hodgson's tactics have been consistently poor against us, setting up with a narrow midfield and giving us the freedom to do as we like in the wide areas. It will be interesting to see if he changes today.

We can win this!!

 

[sillytuna]

What is this winning that you speak of?

 

[DPE]

We need these points. Don’t care about the season now just want to not be looking at relegation. Win, don’t care how.

 

[Baboon]

We need to build on the fine result at Chelsea and start to put an unbeaten run together. A win with a clean sheet would be ideal. COYW.

 

[JOSWolf]

Need to win. A defeat doesnt bear thinking about.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Nearly a year since our last 3 o'clock kick off. I recall when every game kicked off at that time. Anyway of the players can get used to kicking off at this strange time then I fancy we could get a result at Selhurst Park. Which if I may add, to this day remains the worst ground to get to for a game.

It really does feel nice to be playing 3pm on a Saturday

Pretty much 11 months since a Sat 3pm ko.... Good grief...

 

[Wolves Heathen]

This is a must win game however a point wouldnt be the end of the world as its as much a must not lose game as it is a must win, if you can understand my meaning . Palace will score so we must look to take the game to them as i doubt 1 goal will be enough for a win, Im happy to be proved wrong.
As for Nuno indicating there may be a big problem Im thinking Neto, Coady or could it be Semedo ? which would leave us short at WB..

 

[Tring Wolf]

Big day today with Fulham playing WBA. Defeat for us with one of those two winning and it starts to get a little worrying.

Conversely, a win for us today and a draw in that game and all of a sudden, we’re looking at teams above us rather than nervously looking down.

 

[Sketchead]

Big game indeed.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

We'd do ourselves a massive favour today if we don't concede the first goal, something we have done a lot, apart from the chelsea game obviously
Quitely confident of a 1-0 or 2-0 win

Enjoyed the day out there a couple of years ago even if there was a low hanging girder whatever in the sight line. Enjoyed the eagle before the game too! In the right place that was very cool! And Jota scored very late on to equalise. A good day.
It will be a tough match today. Patience needed from us all. Haha!! Not a chance! Anyway, a win would be very welcome. At least a strong defence again.

C'mon @MrJamez whats the lineup???

Wow, I didn’t realise that it’s coming up to a year since we’ve had a Saturday 3 o’clock kick off.

Imagine trying to explain that to Cullis Wright or even Dougan of later years!!

Daft

 

[SA Wolf]

Not an easy game - when are they in the Prem! After getting a result at Chelsea, it feels like today will be a formality from some of the comments, but we shouldn't underestimate Palace. Hope we're at full (ish) strength, regardless of what Nuno said and that we can keep it tight at the back. Zaha is always a threat, but Palace have additional match winners in Eze and Townsend. A win lifts the pressure on us enormously.

I've been there quite a few times and seen the Eagle flying, it's a wonderful sight. Unfortunately Kayla, the bald eagle who flew before Palace games died of an illness last June at the age of 26, after many years of service at Selhurst Park.

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

I think today will be tough. Anyone assuming we're going to blow Palace away, just because we drew 0-0 at Chelsea is simply wrong. Very difficult and - as plenty of people have said - defeat does nae bear thinking about

 

[MrJamez]

I can only pass on when I receive it myself.

 

[xbomber]

I must be in a minority. In the present circumstances it makes not a jot of difference it happens at 3pm on a Saturday. If anything it makes it harder to watch.

Fingers crossed today. Need to keep the discipline and momentum going.

Same unless your going makes no difference what time kick off is

How early are we talking that you get team news?

 

[Matt]

Massive game. Not hugely confident to be honest but hopefully the Chelsea clean sheet is a bit of a turning point for us.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Totally appreciate that mate, for some reason the emoticons aren't working for me so couldn't put a big smiley face with the message

 

[Keyser Soze]

If the Chelsea game stopped the defensive rot, today is a chance to regain the attacking confidence... we've had Palace's number of late, and Woy doesn't seem to realise it's not a great idea to give our wide players space... same again today and we will create enough chances to score 2-3 minimum... lets make it count

 

[Royal wolf]

Liar
We all know you’re Nuno

 

[Bugsy911]

Season defining game for me the result is all that matters we need a win.

 

[Alienwolf]

It’s a “must not lose” for both teams. Looks like a 0-0 to me.

 

[thommo1984]

Yep, agreed.

We need to be on the front foot, a completely different style of play than midweek. Huge game really.

Be absolutely seething if it's 0-0.

 

[JOSWolf]

Totally agree.

 

[NewarkWolf]

Hate playing them at theirs! As comfortable as I feel when we have them at home its flipped right over with them more than any other team when we're at their place. And I'm still the same even with recent successes haha

 

[Pompey Wolf]

It’s the 56th anniversary of my first ever Wolves game. (2-2 Rotherham in the FA Cup, but we did win the replay!)
Come on Wolves, give me something to celebrate and allow me to continue my love affair.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Not feeling too confident have to say

Remember that game, it was the day they buried Winston Churchill. Ron Flowers got the equaliser with two minutes to go. It bobbled in slowly and just made it over the line!

 

[Nige100]

Got us to win 1-2 with Jose 1st goal scorer 35/1.

thanks very much.

 

[NewarkWolf]

As I wrote just now, I never do away to these more than any other team!!

Minor edit. I have the same feeling for Reading!! Those early/mid 90's visits have left me scarred!

 

[MrJamez]

Nothing received so far.

Apologies all, you may have to await for it officially.

Congratulations you old git, lol.... Hope that your wishes come true.
