First XI for Palace

We're going to get annihalated most weeks.

Then, what if the Sniper decides to come out to play too?

FFS Princeh, Board, this is embarrassing.

I honestly don't think we will get hammered week in week out. Citeh, Arsenal, Newcastle, Scousers and a few more could be a bloodbath but not every week.

I am not saying we will win loads either with the current squad, but I think we will keep a lot of games quite tight but will struggle to score without much creativity in the side.
 
That 11 Is closure to relegation from the championship than promotion.

Bit of a joke how we’ve had months to plan this and are going to be starting 2 players people want out of the the squad completely and we know aren’t good enough m in lowe and Osborn and a completely unproven osula up top - (who would be out on loan at a serious club.)

Time for the recruitment team to wake up and sort something out in the next week. It could all be so different with some genuine urgency.

The mood wouldn’t be that hard to turn around - couple of new boys in and everything starts to look that bit more promising
Your last sentence is the one that sums it up. Review on 12/08 and again on 01/09.
 
I've always seen you as one of the more cheery Blades on this site, if you're like this then it justifies anyone's (footballing) misery!
I'm usually clapper central me mate, but I've gone full 180 this last week. If my panic is a sign to panic, then get panicking! 😂

I've held Prince doubts for a little while, and tried to see the best in what we're doing and what we were about, but this last week has left me in no doubt of how poorly we're run.
 
I'm just utterly despondent that Osborn is getting anywhere near our Premier League side, when many didn't want him in the side last season. Yes he runs, but he's an absolute headless chicken. Surely we have a better option?
 
Got to try and move things forward now. Looking at the squad and availability, we’re light up front until players return from injury and new signings come in. Working on the basis Trusty is signing in accordance with El Accounto’s tweet…

GK Wes
LWB Lowe
LCB JLT
CB Egan
RCB Anel
RWB Baldock
LCM Anis
RCM Berge
CDM Norwood
Number 10 Osborn
STR Osula

Subs…Traore, Brooks, etc

We’re light up front we all know that - Jebbison is injured apparently, Traore hasn’t trained thus far and I’m hesitant to throw him in with limited experience. I’d shape up 5-4-1 with Osborn as the attacking midfielder, but capable of dropping into midfield outside of possession. You’re going to get a shift out of him and at least he has some experience and nous. Try and get a goal as a set piece.
I know Ozzy has been made to play pretty much everywhere but his actual LWB position but you can't hate him so much you want to make him look really, really stupid as a 10. Might as well put him in goal. Traore at least would give them plenty to think about and knows where the goal is and god knows we don't really have anyone else who does anymore.
 
Wes
Baldock, Anel, Egan, Trusty, Lowe,
Slimane, Souza
Berge Palmer
Mcburnie/Traore

If a couple of the rumours pull through, and if we manage to get another striker in, things aren't looking so bad. Obviously Ndiaye is a big loss, but you can probably discount at least one from above without Illi going with the chance to make a marque signing upfront too
 
A six pointer against a relegation rival which we’ve known about since 15 June …
Y’all ready for this ?
Sorry Mr Heckingbottom , what’s that you say ?
Done up like a kipper ?

PH is reluctant to put new player on the chopping block on day one, and he has been clear about there being no need to rush injured players back too quickly.
I expect JLT to start, and probably Osborn too. If it’s not working, the 9 pff the bench can come on second half! 😉

Agreed. Complete free hit versus the top 6 clubs. Not expecting anything from those, apart from bragging rights if we achieve a miracle (remember spurs & Chelsea games???). We're fighting for the points versus florest, Luton, palace, Burnley, etc. Need to find 10 victories during those games.

100% agree
 

we’ll be organised whatever team we put out , man for man every game bar one on paper we’ll not look good , but we have a massive part to play as we saw last time so let’s not let the part we can influence fail , ultimately to stay up will be a miracle , it’s the nightmare called the premier league

At the moment we don't, unless one of the young lads is ready to step into midfield?

Personally I would like to see Peck get a run out, as that lad looks like a unit. Brookes is also a decent shout. But both lack any experience, so it's over to our hardworking utility player in the meantime and we just need to get behind him.

An confident we will have a few more in fairly quickly anyway.
 
Wes
Ahmedhodzic -- Egan -- Trusty
Baldock -- Berge -- ????? -- Slimane -- Lowe*
Traore -- Osula*

*reluctantly, I'd rather neither started as one is bang average, the other raw but wasteful.

I've left a gap in midfield as I expect at least one in by Palace..... hopefully. 👌
 
Wes
Anel Egan JLT
GG Sander Norwood Lowe
Slimane Osborn
Osula

I think it'll look something like this. Possibly Trusty in for JLT but as mentioned already I don't think Hecky will throw him straight in, same goes for Traore.

from 8 games 10 victories....impossible
 
Don't understand why people don't think Traore won't be in the side next week, he starts training with us tomorrow and apart from the last 4 weeks as been playing in Sweden for the last few months so surely he is fit enough, as for learning to play the blades way he's only here to score goals, how hard is that ;)

Trying to move it forward now we’ve sold Berge and Ndiaye, I think this is the line up for Saturday. Osborn adds some tenacity at LCM and Anis takes Berges spot at RCM. Norwood adds a veteran presence at CDM and we need some experience as him and Osborn are the only players outside of defence who have played at this level.

Weaknesses remain at the LWB, midfield and striking positions. So provided we focus on passing the ball between centre halves and Baldock, we might have a chance. :)

Realistically I think we will struggle to create anything, but let’s hope we can keep defence tight and not concede any goals. The first six games are an easier spell so we need to maintain some confidence and try and get a couple of points on the board.
 
genuinely gonna be embarrasing at times lads afraid to say it but the team left with now would be mid table championship at best gonna be in for some hidings when we have a team like we do now not to mention the tactically inempt at this level not like he hasnt been there once before with us after wilder went how many did we win in the 8-10 games he took over at the end of that season? 1 or 2 max standard of players we have and manager dont cut it at this level sadly need to realise that and fast!

not gonna happen but need taking over and a clearout including management if we are ever going to have a chance at this level yes hes got us there but seriously is the manager or any of the players premier league standard a mile off, and for arguments sake name me a premier league team that would take any of our players we are left with or manager none of them would be anywhere near another premier league team

I pick the same XI. God it looks woeful.
 
How far off is McBurnie?
Appreciate can't see him being ready for Sat but not been much in news on him has they?
