There's a rail replacement bus service from Clapham on saturday to make it even more of a pain to get there. @Alan Whittle are there any pubs by Norwood Junction that are ok with away fans ?.

That Flora Sandes (It's a Wetherspoons mate) is supposedly sound for away fans, lad was telling me today it's only a 10 minute walk from Norwood junction.

 

[Roztitute]

We usually do mate, but that involves the rail replacement bus (about an hour from Victoria via Clapham) whereas there are trains to Norwoood junction.

Thanks for the info didn't know that!!

Good preview; thank you.

I suspect football's description as 'the beautiful game' will be made lie of by this encounter between two poorly performing teams. The greatest optimism I can conjure presages a draw (2-2?), but our woeful form (esp away), insinuates even that underwhelming outcome might well just be wishful thinking.

...but fingers crossed

 

[LydiateLee]

Failure to win this would be severely depressing.

Pickford, Kenny, Jags, Keane, Baines, Lookman, Gueye, Baningime, Sigurddson, Niasse, DCL

If Williams or Rooney start this I give up, I really do.

Sandro, Vlasic and Klaassen needs to be back in squad too.

Unless someone on here lets us know of another good pub I might head to the Flora Sandes anyway, bus from Streatham/Norwood or most likely couple quid in a cab

 

[SiEdmo]

I think they can be delayed for a day if the club request surely

suppose, knowing how slow we are to do anything I doubt its to do with any announcement or anything so strange its not just today anyway

 

[johnnydawg68]

I'm going to go for something like this. A lot of this is based on form (hence Davies out, though I love him, he wasn't very good last game). Lookman has to start period.

 

[johnnydawg68]

If Barkley is fully fit I'd go this...however I see him more as coming off the bench in his first game back.

The William Stanley boozer is right by Norwood station mate, supposedly ok, and good for away fans.

Click to edit a new keeper? Sounds Dutch.

 

[Eggs]

Think Baines and Gana will need to double-up on Zaha whenever the ball comes near him. Should be specific instruction there.

..Gueye will be dragged woefully out of position if he’s covering Baines as well. I’d be very surprised to see Vlasic out there.

 

[Billy Dean]

I'd go with this:

Pickford
Kenny, Jags, Keane, Baines
Baningime
Gana, Sigurdsson
Vlasic, Niasse, Lookman

 

[Blues Harp]

Unsworth needs binning if Vlasic isn't selected. 1-0 Palace
