Captain Fantastic hopes to keep the posh quiet today!
Mile Jedinak has been fantastic recently for Crystal Palace and I believe some of our recent fortunes can be placed on Jedinak's head. In the middle of park he commands the flow of the game and he adds some much needed support to the back four by blocking shots and literally winning every header that comes his way. Passing has been one of Jedinak's weaker points of his game but even that has improved. In past seasons Jedinak and KG have been criticised for poor passing and overall bad performances, but this season they are a great pairing. They do really work well together as they work off one another and they both know if one is to push forward the other will stay back. It is good to have two physical presences in the middle of the park which as I have mentioned gives the back four some support but it gives us some bite. KG and Jedinak you are both doing brilliantly keep up the good work and keep the posh quiet please.
The formation today should stay the same. The classic saying "if it's not broke don't fix it" really does apply. I would like to give Moritz a bit more of run out and he should be introduced a bit sooner in the second half. The team news on injuries seem that Johnny Williams is still out and the same with Paddy McCarthy. For Peterborough it seems Grant McCann is out with a groin problem but that is not 100% I would prefer him not to play as I do rate him and he is a goal threat.
So my predictions for today:
Peterborough 1 (Boyd)
Crystal Palace 3 (Zaha x2 Murray x1)
Att. 11,532
The Posh will score today, they are a very attacking side and I am hoping for a very open game. The difference I am hoping is our defense and our ability to counter attack at pace. Plus it is Wilfried Zaha's birthday today so Happy Birthday Wilf! Please Score us more then the two goals I have predicted. Middlesborough beat Sheffield Wednesday 3 - 1 last night and currently they are top of the league, we are the only team that can go top if we win and on current form we should definitely be beating a Peterborough side who are 22nd and sitting at the top of the relegation zone.
So all I can say now is, COME ON YOU EAGLES!!!!!
