With the B team. They have to win a game eventually!

Great opportunity for the likes of Bakwa, McAtee and N’Doye to show what they can do.

I see they are managed by Robbie Keane

Do you start Igor, with a view to Lucca or Taiwo starting on Sunday? Or go with N'Doye again, personally given there is still value to winning I'd be inclined to go Igor. (depending on fitness levels of course)

[Fumanchew]

Let’s go one more time with igor maybe even start taiwo at palace?

No hutch no anderson no taiwo

I don’t think sels does well with breaks in the team, keep him engaged and switched on I say

I’d start aina again, keep building the match fitness up

I’d play Abbott and Sinclair, it’s a shame sillah isn’t part of the u21’s it would be nice to use him in a cameo.

Luiz might be gone so start Yates and Dom in midfield, I think hutch should come back in to start on the wings against palace

If we do start Sinclair give MGW a night off completely and maybe start ndoye in the 10?

I’d be amazed if it’s not N’Doye up front

Ferencvárosi are currently 7th in Europa league on 15 points W4 D3 L0.
A win guarantees them a top 8 spot, a draw probably enough but the incentive there to win. They are the best supported team in Hungary and I expect them to be well backed and their fans to be as noisy as we have heard.

We could do with a win to build some confidence and get a 2nd leg play off at home but Im not optimistic if we rotate the team. I keep saying we get £2m for a win and that alone should be incentive to take the game seriously.

It's a really tough one as it's arguable that the win vs Brentford was on the back of rotation and Palace is a proper 6 pointer. 

I think i'm in the rotation camp.

[Marinakis Red]

I think we have to prioritise the palace game and rotate. A win against palace brings them right in to the mix.

[Paplane]

So is Lucca eligible to play in this game or not?

Not eligible to be added to the squad until the next round.

Igor is the only striker that is eligible to play.

I’d play total reserves and blood some kids - doesn’t matter - we can’t go top 8 and we are in the playoffs for last 16. Palacematch is more important.
