Pompey v Crystal Palace [P + R]

Unfortunately im unable to attend the match due to a match of my own, k/o for me is 3pm so I won't get off the pitch till about 5ish and Pompey's k/o is quater past 5ish. So i'll be watching on Tv.

Im confident about the game to be honest, they can cause an upset of course, like we did last season, we sprung a few surprises but it took us a while to gain our first away victory. I just think we've gained more strength this season with some good signings and at home especially, im confident. But anything can happen in the Premiership, but im confident of our strikers and can't really see too many games when we won't score.

Ricardo Fuller's fitness is in question, after playing a WC Qualifier against El Salvador in midweek and Lua Lua resting a groin strain, new signing Kamara could gain a place on the bench. Richard Hughes is back from a calf injury, im unsure if he'll start though.

If we win and results go our way, we could end up 6th on Saturday, which I know is very early on in the season, but it's always a good confidence boost, but if we lost and didnt go our way we could end up 15th. So it works both ways.

Other news is that John Curtis has gone on loan to Preston, and both Schemmel and Pompey have agreed to end Sabestian's contract. He's had a tough time here...

Anyway..

Heres the probable squads

Portsmouth: Hislop, Primus, de Zeeuw, Stefanovic, Unsworth, Stone, Quashie, Berger, Berkovic, Yakubu, Fuller, Hughes, Diomansy, Mezague, Lua Lua, Taylor, Griffin,O'Neil, Ashdown.

Crystal Palace: Speroni, Kiraly, Granville, Popovic, Borrowdale, Boyce, Hudson, Leigertwood, Riihilahti, Kolkka, Routledge, Hughes, Derry, Hall, Black, Ventola, Johnson, Andrews, Kaviedes, Torghelle.

Should be a good game with expected goals. We may see Mezague (anyone have info on him?) who looks like a very strong lad, and Kamara!

But yeah, should be a good game, expect goals :)

Both teams have atleast one striker who's capable of scoring given any half chance, but i'd say maybe 2-1.

:ewan: Thanks, and you have a tiny sig :mrpimp:

Yup hopefully, 3 points would be superb, but like I said, they have Johnson who can score goals.

We need all three points. If i remember correctly we were able to bet the teams that we should beat. We need to beat those lower table teams and lucky we can squeeze in a few upset games (like that 1-0 winner vs Man u (H) ).

2-0 Pompey

all i know about Mezague is that he is from Montpellier, a team i like.

Having seen Mezague play a few times for Montpellier, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. He plays well in the holding role, decent distribution...canny signing by Uncle 'Arry. How much did you pay?

Diomansy Kamara played great when he came on. I told you Amdy, hes gonna be a huge hit in EPL.

Was pleased with the result but annoyed about the penalty, it was handball. Also annoyed on our defending for their goal. But yea im happy Fuller got a goal, and Berger's strike was amazing, a lovely crack. Popovic, why was he just hanging his leg out there? It could go anywhere so it's his own fault, good goal though :p

Glad to see Amdy Faye's back, he did well when he came on so yeah, one injury free player. Lomana is still to return :)

Yeah mate, he did quite well, a nice touch and I cant wait to see more of him. His socks :mrpimp: N he wore Mercurials 2, a plus, lol.

Overall a good display, I think Palace have to learn from this, like we did last season. It took us a while to adapt to away form, we still arent invincible away, but we're progressing I feel.

Yea.. was good :)

TRUE.... DAT :)

Smallest stadium in the EPL, but the best atmosphere:crazyboy:

It's great teams know they're gonna get a hard game when they come down here.

Yeah, Lomana's injured, he has a groin strain and only a couple of weeks ago admitted he'd been playing with it, but now we have good backup, he can rest :)
