Predictions!
This is a must-win for Palace to keep alive any lingering play-off hopes, and Hull must also get a result to consolidate their place in the top six.
However for my money, even though both teams should be going for it, when you look at how mean both defences are, and how little goals these teams scores, it will be a brave man who predicts anything other than a
0-0 bore-draw- there will even be no Zaha to entertain the crowds
I need TUX to agree- then we are guarenteed a 5-5 thriller!!

Well the possible players missing are Zaha, McShane, Clyne, Gardner, KG and Scannell and I have an awful feeling we're going to lose. But obviously I can't predict us to lose (that's TUX's job!) so I'm going with 1-1

Final whistle, and no surprises about the result.
Fantastic to see Johnny Williams back and making himself a handful for the Hull defence, and really encouraging debut from De Silva.
By all accounts a laughable display by the ref.
The play-offs seem beyond us, but on the positive side we are now safe from relegation!- and our defence is now rock-solid.
The Doog needs to keep experimenting with the kids in preparation for next season. Love the prospect of Zaha, Williams, Clyne, Scannell and O'Keefe all on the pitch at the same time, the future's bright...

The Speroni tribute before the game was amazing and full credit to those who organised it. It was obvious that he appreciated it as well. Moments like that are always nice because it shows a bond between the players and fans.
But back to the game. Cayman's your prediction once again was spot on!
O'Keefe looked good as well and Marrow is on his way back to Palace. Freedman said he doesn't think we will make the play-offs so it seems like he's preparing for next season.
