Hodgson was always a defence orientated manager (a trait unfortunately shared with Gareth Southgate) but as our current defence is basically sound (notwithstanding our dodgy full-backs) And, most of all, he MUST get the players FIT as they have wilted in the last 30 minutes. It is a terrible indictment on Vieira that he didn't address this basic weakness. My worry is that Hodgson will revert to type and favour the older brigade (Luka, Ward, etc) and fail to correct his big weakness of I hope McCarthy will keep him up to date on the talents of the new players.

The connection that might be messing with the brain cells is that Lewington was his coach and took over as Brentford boss when dear old Ron realised he had more success building golf courses than football teams

Here is a reminder of Roy Hodgson's performance in his last Premier League job at Watford last season. I think you are missing a big factor. Watford were already doomed by the time he got there. They were in rag order. We on the other hand should not be in the position we are in. He is coming back into a squad where he knows most of the players and the club so

Absolutely dreadful decision, although totally predictable. We're not creating or scoring enough goals, and are not fit enough so how does Roy Hodgson's appointment improve that ? Ten games of Luka and Jairo in midfield, with Roy sat in the dugout, legs crossed, staring into space. If PV needed to be dismissed then fine, but replace him with somebody that's going to have an impact. The odd draw isn't going to be enough. If we go down then and only then can you say 'Absolutely dreadful decision'.

Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot? I pray it's only for 10 games, Ayew and Schlupp to start every game, wonder what the odds are?

There won't be two up front. This is Roy. Defend first, possibly score sometime He favourite formation is a 4-4-2 . He played that mostly in his last spell with us

Happy with the decision as long as it is on the understanding that Roy's tenure is only 10 games regardless of the outcome. He is not the future, but may just be our best chance of still being a PL team next season. Anyone else may require time we haven't got to get to know the players, and get them to understand the plan. Roy's career has generally been at its best in getting modest teams to get more results than they probably should. He's also got Palace in his heart. But if he keeps us up (or even if he doesn't) we can't afford to waste time making respectful noises after the season ends - the next appointment must be ready.
