If he ignores them then he really has lost the plot. I reckon Olise will be on the bench. As always we only get half the story, but to be fair they probably dont want the Blades getting tm info.

Reporter: Well Roy, another 0-0 result when you could have done with a win against the side bottom of the league. What's your take on it?
Roy: Well to be fair to them, they're a tough well organised side and Chris Wilder has come back and got them all fired up. It was a tough game and we'll have to respect the point.
Reporter: Stats indicate that Palace had only one attempt on target, do you think you could have done more to win the game Roy?
Roy: Well they are a well organised side and it was tough to break them down. I've heard talk that I should be using the youngsters more often, and so I did, bringing two on at the 95 minute mark. Problem is the ref blew up for full time straight after. It's difficult to factor in a contingency plan for that sort of thing happening.
Reporter: Er, yes Roy. Oh, here comes Steve Parish, he doesn't look best pleased.

From where I sit - with the quality we have in our squad, compared to theirs - tomorrow should be a walk in the park - no problem..!!

But we all know with Roy in charge it’s going to be angsty..!!

I can’t believe he’s still in situ - until this changes we will keep under achieving- it’s that simple..!!

As I’ve said before - I’m saying a nervous 2-1 to us - after them scoring first..!!

We will quite rightly have this earmarked as a game that we could and should win.

What we mustn't lose sight of is that so will they.

If Olise plays then I think we'll win.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

I wish I could say that CL or international breaks have historically been good for us in terms of pre match preparation for a fast start in the next game, unfortunately I don't feel that's been the case - The fact that they played Saturday & dont have a good enough squad to replace large numbers of players for tonight should allow us to stretch them at least in the latter stages of the second half, personally I hope we have the game won by then but as we all know this is Palace were talking about.

We need that ball in Sheffields half from the off and if they get physical make sure it’s in their 18 yard box! I can’t believe how bad we have been at home this season and Roy’s inappropriate comments have not helped.

He gets it wrong tonight and he deserves everything he gets from the crowd with plenty aimed at Parish too! The only consistency at Palace at the moment are the fans and they have backed the club to the hilt, but their patience is wearing thin now!

Somehow we will win 2-0, a penalty from Eze and most probably an own goal!
