I understand that we have to grind results out, but at least under Pulis I always thought we would. Now it maybe Hodgson's tactics, but I also feel that the players had more spirit and belief in their abilities.I feel under Hodgson, they just don't buy into his tactical approach, and don't enjoy playing his way.

Have to say watching Palace at home over the last full calendar year has been very depressing and a complete contrast to the previous three years

Hodgson performed a miracle last season keeping us up against all the odds.We really were prime relegation candidates and we ended up in a respectable 11th place.

At the present time, we aren't in the relegation zone and there is a small buffer between ourselves and the team in 18th place.Whilst of course supporters are in despair about certain matters,not least the strength in forward areas and our abject home form, Hodgson still has credit in the bank for what he has achieved and he will not be going anywhere soon.

I understand the goodwill to Hodgson for his achievement last season and it’s understandable and commendable that people are tolerant and patient with him.
It’s also true that we have a good chance of staying up this season.
However, the central point is that the dearth of home wins and goals this season is not just down to lack of a striker or bad luck.
We have lacked creativity, flair and vision in attack and it’s valid to ask questions of Hodgson in this regard.
People refer ‘20 chances’ per game but this has not been the case for the vast majority of games.
Playing people in wrong positions, poor set pieces, failure to get players in the box when on the attack.
I’m not saying he is a bad manager but I don’t believe he is getting the best out of the squad.

You can’t blame the manager when our senior players are creating and missing sitters

Yesterday wasn’t about confidence we just got to convert chances 2 yards from the goal

RH’s is very poor. Recently his negative approach to the Chelsea game and the poor home form in general. Yesterday was a typical example. We didn’t do that badly up to their equaliser but it seem to knock the stuffing out the team. Substitutions should have been made at this point. One of the strikers should have been changed for a mid field player. We were overrun in mid field from this point onwards. Wickham should have been brought on instead of Benteke because he had had a couple of games already.
The other point was the way Watford always got five or six players in and around the box. We had on occasions only one or two!
