Glen Murray is suspended on Tuesday.............good news! Bad news; a former HCFC player could replace him up front! Surely an ex-player won't be our nemesis two games running?
Wilbraham? I wouldn't worry about Murray anyway, Austin was nothing special the other day and how many has Murray scored if you take away all the penalties they get? No more than Simpson I imagine?
Lightning stikes in the same fooking place with us all the time... Marney, Cort, Taylor-Fletcher, Burgess etc, they've all done it. It's certainly something that has become a huge problem for us, but I think it depends on the player. If it's Wilbraham replacing Murray then I shouldn't worry too much. He's ****e.
Like most big, bustling, combative forwards, it's not Murrays goals that constitute his contribution to the team.
Murray missing is of course a help but Zaha is due a good game soon as he has been off the pace of late looking at reports. But after saturday i expect a big reaction by the lads and beating Palace is more important than Burnley in the long run. With Cardiff @ Derby and Lesta @ tws and Middlesboro home to Udders it could all close up again by tuesday night.
We have the toughest game though, hope we can get a reaction after saturday! Think the team needs tweaking a little, looked a bit stale Saturday
More so Palace imo. But if we get to anything like the Birmingham level then Palace will loose again.
Not as many as you think. But DD is also good for a howler of some sort. DD should get a good reception and i think even if he does score he will keep the celebration to a minimum. IMO, Leon Cort showed far more disrepect for City fans when he scored on his first game back here (when he joined Taylor @ Palace) than Marney did on saturday.
