**Official Pre-Match Thread - Palace v City**

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

First topic message reminder :

Wahey!.......just like being back in the Championship.....two games in a week......... 

I think Malky has to go for it more tomorrow and maybe we'll see a start for Bellamy instead of Cowie. I can't imagine that he will abandon the 4-5-1 just yet, so Campbell to start for me, with maybe a longer run-out for Cornelius if things are going well.

Whitts was well below his best on Wednesday, but has played really well against Palace in the past. He's got to get the set-pieces sorted out.....they should be second nature to him, so I just don't know what was wrong against Stoke.......

.......anyway, time to get firmly behind our boys and I predict a 2 - 0 win........

Apart from that time they got back to back wins to win to playoffs...

I'm in shock. This is the Palace side that everyone was laughing at, that bought lots of crap players at cheap prices and play like they're destined for relegation. And they played us off the park. None of Malky's crap - we weren't unlucky, decisions didn't go against us, we were just completely destroyed by a better team.

Odemwingie is particularly becoming Malky's new obsession, isn't he? It doesn't matter how few passes he completes or how little he does with the balls, he's always on Malky's mind.

Our two easiest matches and we get one point, total. In both case we were outplayed, by teams we want to see finish well below enough.

Just awful, awful management.
