If Dyche is available this summer I think we should go for him, Roy is not getting any younger and the idea of a transition period or handover never works. You end up employing the best manager you can at the time you need them.

If Dyche is not available I am happy for Roy to continue for next season and then review.

We are not the only ones thinking along these lines. If I were Manchester United I would be thinking about Poch because he is available now end of next season he may not be.

I wish an interviewer had asked Roy to explain his use of substitutes today.

We go 1 down: He subs a creative midfielder for a defensive midfielder

We are 2 down: He replaces a defender with Andros (hooray) and Benteke with a defender. So Andros has no target man to aim for.

Surely these tactics are from someone who has lost their marbles.

Today has put me in the 'Roy must go' camp.

Wage budget is far more indicative of squad quality, and the correlation between wage bill and league finish is far stronger than transfer spend/league finish.

This is a good example as to how people mis-represent us and try to manage expectations down... our wage budget is roughly £32m per year more than Burnley’s.

Their highest ever transfer fees are;

- Gibson, £15m
- Wood, £15m
- Brady, £14m
- Gray, £11m

Ours are;

- Benteke, £32m
- Sakho, £30m
- Townsend, £15m
- Mili, £15m

This talk of Hodgson’s miracles is not based in any sort of reality.

Roy’s not the problem, he’s not been given any funds for several seasons and we’ve been comfortable. The board should back him with some new players. Zaha wants to leave, but Palace have priced him out of the market. This season it’s been boring watching Palace but when I get my head right I recall losing at home to scunthorpe and Barnsley and suddenly things ain’t so bad. At least the board are being careful as surely no one wants administration again, but some excitement is needed. The sad thing is I didn’t go to the Watford game due to the drudgery of watching Palace this season, clearly with what has transpired since , I wish i had gone now.

Football without fans is actually ridiculous, I thought with the restart we might be a bit more exciting given we are virtually safe but apart from the Bournemouth game it’s the same old. That being said Palace being Palace are always liable to find a result against the so called top 6, but perhaps it’s best we don’t get the Europa league spots with the squad as is , as well as the fact no one will be able to go to the games if this behind closed doors continues.

I also thought Riedewald was one of our best players when Roy decided to haul him off after 60 mins for another defensive midfielder who’s far worst in possession.

No doubt he’ll be resigned for bench for the rest of the season now.

But those are all players put on big contracts three or four years ago and are now in decline.

Townsends problems with niggling injury and consistency have been there since day one and wont be getting any better with age.

Age, injuries and inability to regain fitness mean Sakho is now looking on the way down (being kind).

WRT the wage bill Meyer is also a lightweight on £80k a week and IIRC Scott Dann negotiated a hefty and valuable contract when his stock with us was at its greatest.

Benteke doesn't require explanation other than his 20 from 23 good chances missed during 2017-18. This stuff about him just needing service and to get his confidence back is bollocks.

Love it when people really dont understand, a forward needs a pass or a cross into a position where he can score from... Even a Vardy or Salah wouldnt score in our team. Bet you where moaning about Ayew last year?? He scores in a free role that suits him this season but as a number 9 as in Benteke role, he struggles does Ayew...

Liverpool was the only game where we failed in attack,

We had opportunities against Burnley and today against Liecester who are rightly in the top four, we need to strengthen and our manager is the best we can have to do that job.
