They need to lose and we win.
Or. They draw and we win by 2.
If they draw and we win by 1 they stay above us on goals scored!

5-2... sending us Top 10.

I dont get this 'they have nothing to play for ' stuff so we will now win . I would have much rather faced a nervous must win Villa team that would have left gaps for us to exploit .

We do now though have the added incentive of getting into the top half of the table (who would have guessed eh?) so should be right up for it (think of the bonus lads even if you don't know where Brighton is )

COYP!

Very difficult one to call - more as it is hard to gauge which Villa side will turn up. My feeling is that they have virtually nothing to play for and the celebrations for getting to the champion league have begun so they might not be at their best. On the other hand their manager was quick to say the focus is on the Palace game just after the draw against Liverpool (though that was before they qualified for the champions league)
Expect their worn out players to be rested and some of the fringe players to come in which might actually help them.
I am going for a 2-2 draw but would not be surprised if we edged this 2-1.

Some Loon phoned in talksport and said Palace will be on the beach, even the presenters laughed at him saying where has he been the last few weeks? We’re on fire and apart from City we’re the least on the beach team in the division!! Definitely more chance of Villa slipping on the flip flops early now, we don’t want the season to end

Villa have clinched a place in the Champions League and have a very able coach.
However, how many of their players would get in our team on current form?
I would contend only Martinez, possibly McGinn /Tielemanns and Watkins.
Personally I would prefer our players in every other position , although a case could be made for Digne as a better wing back than Mitchell.
If we keep our present team together( and relatively injury free) there’s no reason why we couldn’t push for Europe next season.
These are two very big ‘If’s’ though.

They're a good side mate - I don't think it's a question of personnel. They have quality throughout. We seem to have managed to have squeezed blood out of a stone recently. Would you have rated these players the same earlier in the season? Other than perhaps Olise and Exe - and even they were even injured or off form. Villa have done well - spent a lot - but it doesn't change the fact that we should currently beat them. Just a question of timing I believe.

 

Red and Blue Army!

Its also a difference in tactics.

We now have a new formation that works, a high press that works and players that understand and have bought in to this new approach.

I think we are a match for any team now. Even Man city who played us a bit too soon into the new era.

 
Dnjc Flag 16 May 24 12.00pm

Villa looked good in their last game. Very accurate passes and pressing continuously. But if we turn up like the last six matches I don't see why not us. I need to buy some Strepsils before I get there!

Pedant alert
it was 5-3 against Bournemouth at the end of the 2018/19 season with goals from:
- Batshuayi 2
- O.G. 1
- Van Aanholt 1
- Townsend 1
and we ended on 49 points! History to (partly) repeat itself?

That season we had a lot of dull low scoring games at selhurst and very few goals up our end (whitehorse) so I decided I’d had enough early, put my flip flops on and gave that one a miss…….I’m still reminded of this bollock I dropped by a mate I sit with, probably every time we play Bournemouth

And yet we scored 51 league goals that season (and 10 in the cups). However, 32 of the league goals were away (we won no fewer that 9 away games including the 2-3s at both the Etihad and the Emirates). Living as I do in the Midlands I got to see 2 good away games at Wolves 0-2 and Leicester 1-4 (Puell got sacked the next morning).

It was my first season as an ST holder so I made as many home games as I could. Fortunately, I was in the Wright and Bright stand and saw most of the few goals we did score. I moved to the Glaziers the next season for extra leg room (row 16 - wider step because there used to be a barrier) but not so many Palace goals down that end (there've been quite a few late heartache strikes by the opposition as you will well know).

Enough of reminiscing and bring on Sunday and a good day out.

The season after was no better at selhurst up our end either, Jordan Ayew’s winner in our last game before the first lockdown in March against Watford was only the second goal we see up the Whitehorse, and the first was a penalty earlier in the season.

It’s a bit of a running joke up our end now, we were all slipping into a coma with the shock of four goals in half an hour against the spammers recently

Well Villa will be nursing a hangover after CL qualification and playing in sliders, so a 2-1 win for the bang in form side. Their last 8 visits to Selhurst, lost 7 drawn 1, so they get a bit homesick when they come here….

Villa fans seem to think they will sign Eze and Olise, dreamers….

I am going for an all out attack game from both sides resulting in a 3-3 draw. COYP
