Whole midfield was brilliant, albeit against a very poor opposition.

Ordered both last Monday and only Middlesbrough have arrived. They'll come tomorrow I expect.

West Ham-Birmingham is at 5.20 tomorrow.

I'm not exactly a SDR fan but RM is a real problem.. Guly? I think Adkins will start him but he was woeful yesterday and I usually stick up for him. Chaplow? Been terrible since he came back from injury at each time he's played at RM since he has been removed at half time. Puncheon? Personally think he is a good option and would be tempted by him, provides no width but decent on the ball. Again not exactly set the world alight since he came back Falque? Only seen 45 minutes of him. We miss Chamberlain

You'd drop Sharp? He doesn't do much outside the box granted but he is clearly a goalscorer. Davis Frazer Jos Fonte Fox De Ridder Hammond Cork Lallana Sharp Lambert

This is a big, big game. Lose then and Friday night will be almost unbearable. When was the last time we beat Palace away? I can only ever remember draws. We never seem to get a result at Selhurst, think that'll change tomorrow though.

We really do have some dull, boring and ridiculous fans don't we.

Lee would have been invaluable, such a shame he is out.

We did look more unlucky on the highlights then actually at the game. I never realised the effort by Lallana was so close. Meh, think we'll still do it, just.

No idea, but he should have buried it.

I don't know about the first, but I can assure you that no goalkeeper would have got near their second.

I've just got in. On to Palace No other comment to make.

No, I wouldn't take it. We won't need another 5 wins anyway.

So the bestest fans didn't sell out for their cup final at home, and now it appears they won't for the away game either. They really are a small time, nothing club.

Just had a little look online, and they do seem to have more available. Odd.

They flew to Manchester going up but got the coach home I believe. As for the pitch, it was absolutely terrible. I wasn't far from pitch level and the ball was taking at least 4 or 5 bobbles on each pass.

Spot on. Nothing winds me up more then all this "it's just another game" nonsense. This is the Skates FFS, I highly doubt their fans are saying similar.

Just got back to the hotel, brilliant travelling support. We were **** but could have been different if we'd had converted the 3 sitters in the first half. Move on.

Suspect THEVMAN was alluding to just lambert! Quite big news in itself I suspect.

Sibley confirms no lambert

Have also heard Lambert is out today.

Heading up around lunch time, third "weekender" up there and we've drawn the other two, so hoping third time lucky.

Oh do be quiet.

We are staying in Boro and drinking there. Far too much effort and hassle to get to Newcastle after, but then we are lazy.

All of them.
