    Won't be on TV, won't be a sell out - the English cup draws are rarely kind to us in terms of big teams! Its' winnable I guess but other than that it's a negative draw for me.

    Would not be surprised if Woy gets them at least scoring by then.
    One positive is that they won't want to be concentrating on the cup as Prem survival is going to be number one priority.
    This is winnable but we are Bristol City and we don't do the easier thinks.

    I reckon this will get televised. We are bookies favourites for the tie and Palace are woeful at the moment, the media love seeing an ex failed England manager getting a mauling.

    Actually, it seems as though the majority of bookies are still slightly inclined towards a Palace win:

    https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/efl-cup/bristol-city-v-crystal-palace/winner

    At the time of writing you can get 19/10 odds of a City win at Skybet - if I had the spare cash, I think I'd be tempted by that...

    Some bookies, like Bet365 actually are making us narrow favourites. It'd be interesting to see what algorithms each bookies use to decide what odds to offer, and/or if it's just a panel of experts agreeing it amongst themselves. At near to 2/1 odds, I'd say City were an excellent shout.

    Wiz I don't think i'm sniping, just telling the truth, you dislike LJ with a vengeance, (as your many many posts reveal), by the way LJ has never been my hero, as a matter of fact I said he should have lost his job by Christmas.
    Its great how different your Saturdays are,,, and I hope you enjoy your visits to Cornwall, you never know, you may change your mind and once again visit the gate with or without Lee Johnson in charge.

    not to far away from Newquay! used to love Perranporth back in the 50's used to belly board on a bit of ply with the end turned up! our holidays were always in first couple of weeks of September. Used to go back to school for 2 weeks then Cornwall for 1 or 2 weeks! or we had our holiday 1 or 2 weeks in early June, We had a café / bakery on the route to the south coast at Castle Cary and as soon as mid July came around so did about 30 coachs a day on the weekends and 15-20 midweek start ...... it was always hot and never saw much rain!
