First thing I saw on Twitter after this came out. "Doesn't Luzon know the importance of this match?!?!" Let's just forget about our abysmal league form and act like this will be the high point of the year. Yes the team isn't as strong as it could be but I would rather lose now and win on Saturday

That team looks cack. The Palace fans will be giggling away when it gets read out compared to their line up.
Oh well - they need to fight fight fight for every ball, every tackle, run until they can't run anymore. All they can do is try their best against a side that is light years from us.
Confused..... rests Diarra against huddersfield after being man of the match v Rotherham but plays him tonight ???? Where's Jackson....not another training ground injury!!!!
With Big Mak out injured, we're back to the same old post Yann problem - no one to compete physically upfront and hold the ball up.
You can pick any combination of our fit strikers and it won't fix that fundamental flaw. It puts a lot of pressure on the midfield and defence and will restrict us to counter attacking as a result. Although, to be fair, that was always likely tonight anyway as you have to expect we'll have less possession than them.
The McAleny signing worries me. Having seen both his appearances so far he doesn't look like he will offer anything new upfront that our existing players can't do, and on the left wing he just wants to cut inside every time he has the ball which doesn't fill the hole Bulot left either. Hope he has a good game tonight and I'm not saying he is necessarily a bad player, but he seems totally the opposite of what we needed to sign which worries me.

Is Jackson still injured? Thought this would be a perfect game for him.
And I'm ok with that. I think those front six deserve it after helping to put four past Peterborough.

That front two against Delaney looks very lightweight
Igor doesn't make the bench either. On his way to Bolton?
Either way - he will tear us a new arsehole.
