I've voted for a win (as I always do) however, would be happy with a draw too as it means I can continue to butcher the match day threads!
May I reign supreme!

Re Johnson - my thinking is that he doesn't need a move to get international selection as he already has it and now in an "established" PL side. Of the clubs who could/would realistically afford him (given the likely price tag we'd slap on him); Chelsea/Spurs are basketcases, Man City he's not good enough (see Kalvin Phillips), Man Utd and Newcastle most likely looking for proven PL/CL pedigree players, which maybe leaves Arsenal but he's not their kind of player .... for all of them he's no way guaranteed a start.
So apart from the not insignificant fact that they might pay him a ridiculous amount of money why move from your boyhood club where you're a top dog, who are clearly looking to build on the success they've brought, with a fanbase that love you and a manager you clearly believe in who has been a major reason for your current high profile...
Any way you look at it, for me, the money would be the only motivation but at 22 he has time on his side and could play here for 3 more years and still only just coming in to his prime.

1-3 Forest. End the season in style.
Although I do like the suggestion of Jonjo in goal. Our defence will probably take turns at malleting it at him themselves.

Hennessey is ex-Palace so hopefully he'll be in inspired form.
I'd take a draw just to end the season on a decent enough note, considering our away form this season. A win would give the team even greater confidence going into next season, considering how strong Palace are at home and their overall form of late.
If both clubs are on the beach, let's go for 2-2, 2-3, 3-3 or 3-4.

Palace are the definition of mid to low table mediocrity, in the 10 seasons since promotion they haven't finished outside 10-15 place and have got points ranging from 41 to 49 in every season.

He seems a really intelligent bloke. I was watching this the other day & he doesn’t seem the age he looks, still talks really well.
As you say I have huge respect for him, he’s had a great career

A bit of a high bar if the standard is to be as good as Guardiola.
He has managed in 9 different countries and won 15 trophies. He’s had a great career, the only thing missing was a European trophy but he came very close twice.

I like Hodgson, very underrated manager (despite not doing great in charge of England). What he has achieved in the game and his longevity is something deserving of a lot of respect. I think if you offered most managers a list of achievements like Roy's when they retire they'd snap your hand off. As Rzar said, he's had a great career.

He's ended it on a pretty good high too. Palace have been great since he took over.

Know a West Brom fan at work who rates him very highly from his time in charge of them, and said that Palace would pull away to midtable pretty comfortably when he took over; which is exactly what has happened.
Pleased for him that this is swansong rather than his time at Watford.

I just think he's managed that many teams it's like you throw enough shit eventually some will stick

I think he's got the same problem as Graham Taylor and possibly even McClaren in that his career to most people will always be defined by their time with England.
I bet if you ask your average football fan in this country about Hodgson they'll say either:
Iceland
Rooney in midfield
Kane on corners
Farmer Jack
Stuart Pearce
2:13. Class from Roy.
Red Dog in a Forest
