There are 2 teams that need morale boosting wins this week.
First up are (the latest Premier League record holders, Crystal Palace). They struggled to beat an Ipswich youth side in the last round, and I am sure that Roy will be making changes here , but you would hope that they can give the home fans something to cheers about. If they don't get a goal soon, then the goal celebration music (Glad All Over) is in danger of become lost under a pile of dust. I won't back them to win, (They are one of my bogey teams) but will probably back them to win the corner count, which they did on Saturday.
Palace should win, need to win & hopefully we can all recoup our lossses from the weekend
Everton have a must win game against Sunderland, who aren't pulling up tees either in the Championship. They have had a tough start, and it will depend on the team selection, but surely they can get a win, in the cup, to lift the mood of the fans?
On a Brighter note! (See what I did there?) The Albion are back at Dean Court on Tuesday. Our second string struggled to beat Barnet in the last round, but 2 new signings will be making their debuts and keen to impress. The most notable of who is Izquerdo, who is our record £16million signing. He has the nickname "The Greyhound" due to his speed. I think that they will be keen to go back and get a positive result, after perhaps being a tad unlucky on Friday.
Your thoughts please,
I am just off to give @Mindfulness some banter in the "New Managers" thread...

That was another crap weekend.
Palace really are utter rubbish & let everyone down by the looks of it!
I had Villa to start their purple patch at home last week, as I felt they are due to go a gsood run soon. They drew 0-0 last week, so I felt they weren't ready yet and backed Barnsley this weekend too!
I have to say the ratings swung me Barnsleys way
Havent lost a corner bet yet tho......
BAH

Crystal Palace V Southampton 1 - 3.15
Barnsley V Aston Villa 1 - 3.60
Leeds V Milwall BTS YES - 1.85
10 point treble please

Bournemouth V LBGT & Hove Albion (!)
Brighton have played well the last 2 games, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them get something tonight. However the Law Of Averages comes into pay this weekend, and after losing 4 games this season, Bournemouth are due a win. I think it will be an open entertaining game, but (without any bias) Brighton has a better team than their opposition.
Im taking Bournemouth on the corners, as I think they will push forward and attack, they have to! & Brighton generally don't have that many.
Bournemouth -1 Corners 1.75
CRAPPY PALARSE V STAINS
Again the law of averages will come into play here, along with the change of manager, and it should be unlikely that Palace will lose this one. Hodgson will set Place up to keep the point they start with, and look to nick all 3. I think it's a good game for him to make his debut as manager, as Southampton are even worse at the moment. I agree that it could be 0-0 or 4-0, as Palace were unlucky last week against Burnley.
Palace DNB 2.0
Also going to have Liverpool on a corner handicap & Man U to give Jose a response to last weeks draw by winning to nil against Everton

Sam Allardyce.
Big Sam is the right fit for Palace. They need a no nonsense, British manager that can maintain what they do best i.e. Work hard, be difficult to beat & score on the counter attack.
I don't think Roy is that sort of manager.
You have to say, that with 8 managers in 7 years, whoever appoints the managers at Selhurst, should be resigning now!
who will be next for the chop?
Grayson at Sunderland, Bruce at Villa, Hodgson at Palace?

Think that there will need to be a subsection just for the Palace tho!

By permanently do you mean the next 4 fixtures?
I want the next manager to be someone who can win some games, maybe, get the team, to score a goal.
Sounds like you need Chris Hughton then!
Well as permanently as it gents at Selhurst. They don't eve r last more than 6 months do they? Going back a few seasons, Didn't Dougie lose his first 4 games, then got them up, beating Brighton in the play offs?
Palace have gone through so many managers, there can't be many left.
They have now tried the Johnny Foreigner route, so probably won't be doing that again.
Fascinating stuff though, so early on in the season.
I think we need a "New Managers" thread @StevieDay1983

Hello stranger
You've gone a bit quiet recently?
Well it just shows the madness of our Football. Personally I thought he was doing a great job!! and I have been enjoying some great banter with the Palace fans that I know. We all said that FDB would be sacked soon, & DF (conveniently installed as Director of Football) is on hand to to take over & turn them back into the team they used to be.
In fact Dougie phoned me yesterday for some advice.....
DF - Hi Tiffy, I need to freshen up training, the lads have gone a bit stale, and Big Frank is too busy in the Chairmans office, do you have any suggestions?
ME - Dustbins, Dougie
DF- Dustbins, you say?
ME- Yes, set them up at training, and the players can chip the ball over them, pass the ball through them & dribble the ball around them!
DF- That's a great idea, I'll try it!
The next day he phones me back
DF- Hey Tiffy, I tried what you suggested, we are in the middle of the training session now, but there is only one problem
ME- What's that?
DF- The Dustbins are winning 3-0!!!!
I'm here all week.....................
On the flip side, Brighton were superb on Saturday against West Brom. But it is a long, long season, so there will be many more twists & turns.
Who would like for the job permanently?

Confrontation is the most important and interesting in these qualifiers, whichever team is defeated will be forced to give way to the world cup, I expect an open match where both teams can score
SPAIN vs ITALY @@ Both team to score, odds 2.35I am waiting for the two current opponents to play freely, without any special purpose and to see a beautiful game with many goals
ISRAEL vs MACEDONIA @@ +2.25 Over, Odds 1.85Iceland is quite up and running lately, and it is no coincidence that it is claiming a seat in the World Cup of Russia, today it can take advantage of Finland's weaknesses and even difficult to get the three points of victory
FINLAND vs ICELAND @@ WIN ICELAND, odds 2.00Great selections on this round, thanks very much

Exeter V Newport BTTS YES 1.73

Think I'll go with @betcatalog, all sounds reasonable.
I'll be interested in the Denmark game as I was at the stadium in Copenhagen on Tuesday & had a look in the dressing rooms!

Hi Ally
I still don't think that we have solved our striking problem. We clearly didn't score enough goals last season & I can't see that improving at the moment.
our new signings are sstill ettling in, and will take a while to get used to the pace of the league.
On paper Watford should beat us, but I'd like to think that we could get something from today. A point would be great, we should be taking something from teams like these if we want to stay up.
I don't care if we lose,so long as we can start scoring.
Evens for Watford looks worth taking. I can only see us getting a draw at best.
I may be tempted to back the half time draw, we should keep things tight for the first half & soak up any pressure.
Hope this helps
Good luck
Pretty much as expected. We still can't score, but seem to be playing well. A point well earnt today.
should have backed the HT draw!

Watford at 2.00 looks good value to me. They've started the season well and can continue today against a Brighton side who look like they're still adapting to the Premiership. What's your thoughts @Tiffy ?

24 minutes ago, Sir Puntalot said:I have a real loathing of cup matches, just so unpredictable and teams rarely at full strength.
I wonder what the stats are on backing every outsider in the EFL Cup?
Yeah think I'll give it a miss.

Does anyone fancy Newport to get something at Leeds, or Wigan to get something at Villa. Both lower league teams are doing very well, with Newport winning away to nil at top of the table Coventry.
Both Leeds & Villa will be making changes tonight,
Thoughts?

Trying to stay away from backing results, preferring to go for goals & corners.
i know history doesn't always repeat itself, but I am going on the ratings above, form, and my trusty gut feeling! I also want to only bet at odds against, as backing odds on always seems to empty my account after a while.BRISTOL CITY V MILLWALL
Millwall P2 W0. Their 2 games featured 9 goals, & BTTS happened in both games. They threw away the lead against Ipswich in the last 10 minutes on Tuesday. Shots & corner stats also suggest that Neil Harris is giving it a good go this season, playing attacking football.
They are away from home this week, so may relax a bit more as their is less pressure.
Bristol City have had 11 goals in their 3 games this season. BTTS & O2.5 has happened in all 3 matches.They have won 1/3, so should be pressing for the home win.
High ratings for both teams suggest they are both playing attacking football.
PICK- BTTS & O2.5 - 2.1QPR V HULL
The corner count from QPR’s first home match was 10-1 in their favour. They always give it a good a good go at home, and by all accounts gave it a good go against Norwich. They usually cover the corner handicap at home.
Hull are still getting going under their new manager and I am not convinced they will do much this season.
PICK- QPR -1 AH CORNERS - 2.15COVENTRY V NEWPORT
Coventry won 3/3, including a Cup win over Blackburn & sit top of L2.
They have scored in all 3 matches, F5-A0.
Newport have scored in 3/3, the 2 league matches featured 8 goals. They have yet to lose this season, in their last match away to Crewe, they won the shot count by 12 & the corner count by 9.
Ratings of 44-71.50 suggest both like to attack & the advantage is with the away team
PICK - BTTS & O2.5 - 2.3LUTON V COLCHESTER
Lutons last home game featured 10 goals. They have not won or played at home since then. They were unlucky against Barnet, losing in the last minute. Nathan Jones will be looking for a response in front of the home fans.
Colchester have not won this season. In 2/2 league games, all the goals have come in the second half.They have scored in all 3 matches this season, featuring 9 goals, including Villa in the Cup.
I fancy LUTON to win, but won't get involved at 1.7. They should win, so LUTON to win & BTTS could be worth a punt, but I want to stay away from results.
But there are a couple of bets that interest me. One being that LUTON never seem to have many corners in a match, they lost the corner count 4-6 in a game in which they scored 8.PICKS
BTTS & O2.5 - 2.25
COLCHESTER MOST CORNERS - 3.2
MOST GOALS IN 2ND HALF - 2.05I am mindful of having too many bets, so may slim this down. But these are my initial thoughts, and I actually had time to read, research, write some notes & type it all up as it's been bloody quiet at work!
Interested to see if anyone agrees or not with above.
Good luck all! -

You swine.
You would not believe the hysteria and hyperbole comming from Palace fans after this weekends result, just ridiculous.
de Boer has to be given time to develop the team. We may have to go through the pain barrier to make the transition but you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Defensively Palace are going to be very sketchy in the opening rounds, folks are just gonna have to deal with it.
Huddersfield are very well drilled, everyone knows their role and they have a good chance of staying in this division. I agree with you that they've been very good in the summer transfer market also.
I tend not to bet much in the early rounds, prefer to watch as many games as I can and gather information. Most match betting is highly speculative early on as so many important factors are still unkown. I'm always on the lookout for opportunities but match betting is extremely sketchy early on.
I love the banter on here, really Brighton's up the day!
Sure the Palace fans are being as fickle as most other supporters would be after a result like that. They are no different to any others are they? But, yes you are right to hold off for a little while, until things settle down. Going to lay off backing results myself, having a dabble on goals at the mo.
Just had to take my 1 opportunity to have a little gloat! I'm sure it won't be happening after next weekend.
Thanks for the sportsmanship, there are some good footballing folk on here that we can share a laugh with.

Think I am going to start following the Danish top flight after my recent trip there.
Nordsjaelland look a massive price tonight? Especially if you factor the ratings in.
I'll cover my arse and back them DC
Was going to have Bronby unders too, wish I had now?
