Debating the coach arrival tomorrow for the little one - he's desperate to see players up close.

Never done it before, though. What's the deal with it? A case of those there earliest have the 'best' view? How early exactly do I need to be stood there etc.

Cheers
 
It’s a funny fixture this one, many times Palace have turned up in patchy or poor form and got a result. Tomorrow they’re bang in form and have an incredible away record.

The loss of Guehi will hurt them but it will still be one of our trickiest remaining games. I really hope Pep picks a team to play them rather than control the match. We don’t have the legs to deal with rapid turnovers, especially when we face sides who are set and holding their shape. We need to move the ball quickly and pull teams out of shape. We didn’t do that at all last weekend and not enough against Leicester.

If we get the ball moving quickly and really stretch them, we’ll get chances. If we play slow and controlled we’ll be vulnerable to being picked off.

We have the players to hurt them tomorrow but will we play them?

Where do you sit? If in the Colin Bell best view is actually from the spirals rather than actually queing outside behind the barriers

The best view we have had is from the sprials. If we aren't in the Colin Bell stand we don't bother with the bus arrival anymore as there's no way the kids will stand for hours before the game.

Don’t stand at the barriers opposite the entrance doors to the left as you look at the stand. The bus pulls in and you’ll get a great view of the side of the bus but not the players. The spirals or opposite the doors to the right as you look towards the stand and you should be OK.

I thought controlled possession was a way of reducing risk?
 
Really tough game this one.
We struggle to beat Palace even when we’re playing well.

Would like to see:-

Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol O’Reilly
Nico
Gundogan Grealish
Doku Marmoush Savinho

Must win for me.
