The great things that steve parish and the board have done for our club has been exceptional but the fact remains we have one fit striker heading into our first game of the season on Saturday. We have not a prem standard goalkeeper according to many. Potentially starting a defensive midfielder at cb because of lack of signings. Not adequate right back cover. This has become a regular occurrence especially under Steve parish stewardship. I understand the window doesn't close until the end of the month. Anyone else feel these frustrations ?

Andy Johnson Magic, He wears a Magic Hat
When he Sees the match ball, he says he having that
He scores one with left foot, he scores one with his right
And When his playing Brighton, He scores all f***ING Night!

Yes I get frustrated at the so called Palace Fans constantly moaning.
Especially critical of SP.
We are about to embark on our record 5th season in the top flight.
Be positive.

Sorry but it's happened now for too long. Last season Benteke didn't arrive until after 2 games. Imagine them points had cost us the place in the premier league.

We have 2 (hopefully ) of the best loan deals we have ever had, and bought, in my opinion potentially one of the best young defenders ,in europe. All thanks to fdbs influence. Everyone knows most transfers are done at the end of the window. We have a young, exciting manager who we had never dreamed would come to palace, who is trying to change our style and make us an established premiership club. Exciting times. And still people are moaning...unbelievable

So is that it Benteke arrived late last season?
And we are underprepared ?

Good post. I can only assume there are loads of Palace fans who like to moan.
We are on the edge of a very exciting future clearly evidenced in pre season.........yet still the moans.
Get behind our club on Saturday. Welcome what de Boer is doing and enjoy the outcome.

If we don't get another striker in by the end of the window I will be slightly concerned, but if luck goes our way and Tekkers stays fit then it won't matter if we don't. If we don't and he gets injured then of course it would be reasonable to question things.

In other words, don't jump the gun. Who knows, maybe Frank will bring some wild years to the Palace and we will see youngens blooded, which is what everyone says they want anyway. Maybe Ladapo will turn out to be the next Wright, or Keshi the next Bright, or Mutch the next Pardew...oh wait...

The fact of the matter is we just don't know how this will all pan out. For all we know Mutch will turn out to be a world class goalkeeper.

Don't play 3-4-3 and we'll probably be alright this time. Play it and I'm not sure. Last season we threw away too many points vs West Brom and Bournemouth at home with Spurs away in between. Left us with 1 point from 9 and near enough bottom. Pardew's amateur approach and lack of fitness were a factor, but I'll never forget the frustration at the Holmesdale end when defending a corner vs Bournemouth in the 1st half and the team all over the shop.

We can't be complacent vs the poorer sides in this easier start. The aim is to progress away from the bottom, not make it difficult for ourselves to do so.

No complete opposite for me - I feel very positive particularly in regard to FdB's appointment. I think Wilf will blossom under Frank and I am very encouraged by his willingness to play youngsters - I would love a player or two from the academy to get a chance this season. How you can be frustrated before the season has even begun is frankly beyond me!

I thought Crystal Palace 3 Arsenal 0 cost them Champions League.

We were prepared that night.
