Joffy to feature tonight?
Jesse Marsch in his post-match press conference after Saints drawOne reason why Joffy didn’t start was because he tested positive at one point during the week, a false positive. He missed a day and a half. Bit of a strange situation.
We haven’t been able to get him going, with rhythm in training.
I am considering expanding his role more and more within the team. The plan is to play him with 23s on Monday, get more game minutes and adapting.
Tonight’s opponents
Crystal Palace are fifth in the PL2 Div One with 33 points.
The South London side have taken eight points from their last five league games, keeping one clean sheet and scoring on average two goals per match.
In their last fixture, a 79th-minute goal from Eagles’ midfielder Nya Kirby rescued a point for Palace in a 1-1 home draw against Arsenal.
