OK I have made a special effort to get the date right on this one, but after sampling, or quaffing, brandy all evening I can't be sure.

Two weeks to recover, have a rub down and get Phillips in the starting line up. Crystal Palace next, who to be honest are probably as high in the league as they can hope to achieve now, in ninth place but twelve points behind Wolves. Having said that there are four teams behind them on similar points, some with games in hand, so they wont be wanting to lose points just yet. Oddly they have three games to play before we meet them, two league and they are still in the FA cup, so have Leicester tomorrow, Chelski (cup) next Sunday and Newcastle on the Wednesday before we meet them. Not sure if that is an advantage or not, one or two managers would be moaning at that predicament,eh Frank.

So how will we do; we need to be better than today, Watford didn't take their chances and we gave the ball away far too often at times. CP have been doing pretty well this year and havn't lost since mid February. In view of the their fixture list I think we can hold out for a draw and will go 0 - 0. If they get a rake of injuries I may revisit this but would be happy with a drawe.
