50mph winds in Croydon, strong enough

Did you listen to an Everton fan Called Steve on Talksport the other day, powerful stuff, wondered if they played it to the Everton players before the Wolves match

I heard it yes. Fair play to the guy. True passion.

Windy and rainy here in Wimbledon, not too far from Croydon. Blustery, as they say. It's weather that might fold your umbrella with the occasional gust, but suitable for football.

Very much a must win game, we need to build on Wednesday’s performance. Hopefully KDB is able to play as well as Akanji. I thought Gvardiol’s role on Wednesday really suited him but unless Akanji is fit Lewis will be the one stepping into midfield.

We need to see repeat performances from Doku and Grealish and hopefully Haaland gets getter service.

It will be a tough one, their tails will be up after their win away to Ipswich but if we can play as we did Wednesday but without the few defensive errors then we should be fine.

I’m just down the road from Palace and it’s absolutely rank here. And not looking like easing anytime

 

[tommy116]

Yep, give them extra rest time

Another fixture later in the season to screw up the dippers schedule, when hopefully they'll have hit a poor run of form and have a few injuries.

IF the game goes ahead I feel pretty good about it. KDB is back and that's good enough for me.

Hopefully keep the run going and close the gap.

In conditions like this it does become a bit of a leveller though.

It Will be a battle today that's no doubt!
