As long as we don't see a performance like Ashton Gate 2 tonight I will be happy. Don't care where they are in the pecking order just want to see at least 9-10 putting in a shift than 1 or 2. COYP !!

I agree with this, although I would prefer to get through without worrying about Brighton trying their hardest to crock Tomkins or Wilf for 90 minutes.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Well opinions are split roughly 50/50. Was it worth losing Schlup? At least Papa is back. It does show Palace are very thin on players, particularly central defenders.
Either way, wanting in or out of the cup it did sting a bit when Glen scored at the end. One consolation though, Brighton have booked their season weary team a 300 mile extra match. With so many important players injured the extra recuperation time may be a season saver.
