I'd be ecstatic if we won a cup but still want us to use a few back up players in the cups. We are very thin at the back in particular. Fryers has to play in my opinion.

Red and Blue Army!

Preemptive. Anyone with a modicum knows that there are two sides to resting. If you want players to go the whole season when we're suffering from injuries then you would rest those who haven't been match fit. Like you said you play a strong side and those coming back from injury aren't strong, are they?

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

Pardew suggested in his press conference that he will look at his whole squad this week. With 3 games in less than a week.

Andy Johnson Magic, He wears a Magic Hat
When he Sees the match ball, he says he having that
He scores one with left foot, he scores one with his right
And When his playing Brighton, He scores all f***ING Night!

Southampton is a PL club playing in Europe. There would be no shame in underestimating a Championship side, but against a PL side (with Europe commitments, Palace needs to go for the win. Agree that a winning slightly weaker Palace Team would give a message that our squad can do the business - a good foundation for matches later in the season.

Southampton are all about the European adventure this year according to my Saints buddy
