They were full of goals last season but not always great at stopping them. Attractive to watch and probably still likely to be one of the major threats this season but Parky appeared to have a plan for them last year so let's hope that goes well again.Yeah, a nice energy-sapping night out with great atmos at Goodison could ideally set them up for it all to fall a bit flat on Saturday.
Hudds are about to sign Alan Lee from Palace, who have agreed a bid.
An initial offer of £300,000 is understood to have been rejected, but Palace have now given Lee permission to discuss a move to the Terriers.
Lee is in the final year of his contract and Burley revealed Huddersfield have offered the 32-year-old a more lucrative deal.
Burley told the South London Press: "I'd like to keep Alan, but they have offered him a three-year contract on more money and it is very difficult to stand in his way."
They've invested heavily and big results are expected. Lee should be a good signing for them but he's a very erratic player. As others have said, lets hope they are exhausted after playing Everton and our rest means that we can get a positive result.

I'm amazed that they'd offer him a 3 year deal at the age of 32. He was decent about 4 years ago for Ipswich, i'm not sure he's that good now. He's only scored 10 goals in 61 games for Palace, that's hardly prolific.

Always dangerous when the oppo have just signed a centre forward but I'm mighty relieved we didn't spend £300,000 on that lump. He was useful for a while at Cardiff & Ipswich when he could be bothered but has spent most of his time at Palarse moaning at referees for not giving him decisions where he clearly backed in, tugged, or just couldn't be arsed to contest the ball on the first place. Suppose he'll fancy it in his first game for them but Abbott for a nominal fee will hopefully comfortably out-score him over the season.
Well I know I'd rather have him playing for us than them! Having said that, I agree that Abbott is a good signing too, if a bit lower profile, and that he'll do well for us over the season.

Really hope we can give a good account of ourselves and get another away win.

I hope those going have a good time and bring back the points.
One of the best away trips last season.
Having to go via Reading from Ashford was a bit of a bastard though.

Wiki says right back. I thought he was their Semedo type character. Had read during the week that he's been off form so far this season.
