    As Adkins said, not feeling sorry for ourselves, another 3 points to play for, 5 games to go and still top of the league.

    1-2 Saints, Crystal Palaces recent form has been poor, losing three of their last four.

    I'd rest a few players for this, and probably go with:

    Davis
    Richardson Hooiveld Martin Harding
    Puncheon Hammond Cork Lallana
    Lambert Sharp

    Subs: Fonte, Chaplow, Reeves, Barnard, Falque

    My choice:

    Davis
    Butterfield, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding
    Chaplow, Hammond, Cork, Lallana
    Barnard, Lambert

    Subs: Fox, Sharp, Guly, Martin, JPW

    We need to utilise the squad and make the most of it due to so many games in such little time. These games are massive now!

    1-1 unfortunately!

    I do feel that this is an opportunity to put pressure on reading and west ham. Win this and they face difficult opponents brighton and brum respectively. Can see atleast one of them dropping points

    Interesting youve put Falque on the bench. I also believe he should be given a chance to make a difference, if only from the bench. Wack lallana on the right and falque on the left. If it works it could be a goldmine against Reading as they will close us down and Guly wont be able to handle it because he needs space to do his stuff

    If Butterfield and harding play we are screwed, Palace break with pace. Butters would get ripped a new one.

    Agreed, Zaha against Butterfield is a match-up of nightmares. Their wingers will pose a similar threat to that of Blackpool's Matt Phillips and Thomas Ince.

    I definitely think we should do something different on the wing for the Palace game rather than sticking with our current Guly replaced by De Ridder tactic. Either Puncheon or Falque should (fitness-permitting) be given a chance to show what they can do.

    Butterfield and Harding played in the Cup game. I was there! Don't do it, they tore us apart down the sides then got the ball central to Easter up top.

    Harding also gave away a silly penalty in that one!
