Very close game between these two strugglers which should see the new Manager bounce in our favour,with a much needed home win,2-1.

Would absolutely love that Jacey, and I don’t think it unreasonable to believe we will win however as for a ‘bounce’ I’m not so sure and am not allowing myself the luxury of expectance just yet.

What I would like to see is a team/approach to game that once again has me believing we at least can win a football match. Has been a while since I’ve had any real faith. A/some goals would be nice as would some spirit/fight. 1-1/2-1 does not seem unreasonable to me.

Come on you Palace. Some joy please! It’s been a long time.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

thats the spirit

A gritty 1-0 Palace win, I hope.

If it goes tits up, with a loss starting Roys 11 game mission, we're in trouble,

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I haven't quite made my miniscule mind up in terms of a prediction, howevershould we win my odds currently at 50/50 will change to 60/40 in our favour whereas if we are defeated I will really fear the worst.

I'm thinking of not using my season ticket, but hiding behind the sofa listening to a radio commentary. I can't be the only one who's more nervous than at any time over the last couple of months - the first of the run of games which we've all been looking forward to as likely - at last - to yield goals and points. Hmm.

'First game at home since sacking Viera. Potentially a new manager, potentially Woy, no wins this calendar year…….. enter the ever obliging Leicester City.'

This is an observation made by a Foxes fan on their forum. Others similarly pessimistic about their chances of a win, so who am I to disagree?

We'll have our best game of the year and put 3 past them without reply. Now I'm going for a lie down.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
