If we stay up and if Wilf goes and if Roy is here next season we will be high odds on to go down.

For f*** sake, why has Roy not been sacked after another dire performance yesterday, team selection again awful, how can you play 4-4-2 with no wingers, Eze is an attacking central midfielder, Ayew, well is nothing, was watching Roy standing motionless on the sidelines, all I could think about was that Iceland game, as clueless as ever, oh yes, Koyuate at centre back is a liability..

For me at least make an offer to Rafa, he might just fancy living in Croydon

Roy’s saving grace will be our current points which have us level with Southampton and1 behind Wolves and both of their managers get lauded by the media.

I wonder how Southampton fans feel about their situation when they are no better off than us?

It’s a funny aul season.

Hodgson has done the job I would expect him to do with the resources available; in the same way as Pardew and Allardyce before him.
Pulis was the true miracle worker when you consider the available resources for him in our first year after promotion.
He will never be seen in the same light as Hodgson because of the way he departed and also because he wasn’t born in Croydon.
But it’s difficult to draw any other conclusion from an objective analysis of the squad he worked with compared with the squads his successors worked with.
Oh.. and he worked on defensive and offensive set pieces.
If management is defined as provision of leadership and making best use of available resources can people seriously say Hodgson has excelled in these areas over the past year?
We look rudderless and it’s time for a change at the end of the season.

Perhaps he's waiting for the trouncing by Brighton, that way he knows he's covered from the inevitable "Oh poor Uncle Croydon Roy, he's seems such a nice fellow, but after that 6-0 thrashing by Brighton, he had to go" type comment

Alternatively, Parish is well aware that a change needs to be made.

His preferred option/s are not available at the precise moment in time.

We have enough points in the bag to have confidence in our ability to avoid relegation this season.

Therefore it makes no sense to part company with the manager now.

Old, Ungifted and White

Where's Damo when you need him?

Good post, many are not grasping that we are coming to the end of Roy's tenure regardless of current form and the points situation could provide a new manager a chance to get in there assess the squad and draw up list of targets for the summer transfer window. Maybe skinflint Parish wants just a few more weeks out of Roy before he pay him off? Personally I think Roy will be gone before the end of the season.

One of the biggest mysteries in life is that loud stupid people normally don't have even the slightest inclination that they are stupid.

I think there's quite a lot of truth in this although we're missing a few players like Tomkins, MacArthur, McCarthy and Zaha who might not let some of their colleagues get away with such a lack of bollocks. Luka is one of the biggest under performers and this undermines his captaincy as well IMO.

Thats two games running i've heard the commentators say that our players are just going through the motions and one of the reasons must be that a few of them know they won't be here next season and that probably includes the manager too so they are not busting a gut for the club.
