Yes I do believe we could get enough points to stay up even if we didn’t keep 10 behind the ball every game. Hodgson is not getting the best out of his resources as Zaha, Townsend, Benteke and Luka amongst others have gone backwards under him. The only player who has arguably improved under Hodgson is Ayew. I don’t buy the Hodgson myth full stop.

It's not such a gamble as it needs to be done .The board will obviously be now planning for next season.Do you think they will give Roy the limited transfer budget to spend ? Whilst knowing this is probably his last season as a palace manager? It won't be "knee jerk" we are on a very bad run ,players and team not playing with any enthusiasm.Its the Boards responsibility to look at least one year in advance surly.

For me, the tipping point was when McCarthy came on when McArthur was injured. We're 1-0 down at a club in the bottom 3 who have a shocking defensive record. What on earth was McCarthy going to bring to the table? I can't think of a single moment of attacking football from him this season. If Meyer isn't going to be used in that situation, then there is absolutely no point us having an even vaguely creative player at the club. If there's no point having an even vaguely creative player at the club, a club which has scored the second fewest goals in the league, what's the point of anyone turning up? We're just praying for a clean sheet and for someone to score a wonder goal. 26th January 2010 - Enter Administration 2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough 1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds 7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

I do think that Parish is delaying the inevitable and it would be preferable to be able to plan further ahead than the next 12 months, but the way the squad is constructed and the unsustainable wages that go with it mean that we have effectively painted ourselves into a corner.

As I’ve said, now is the time as I can’t see any manager keeping us up but we need to be prepared for the season after next. Keeping mainly this Squad together for next season isn’t the way forward otherwise we will be going through 2 divisions in my humble opinion - take a chance now and create a younger more entertaining team to take us forward over the next few seasons. I’m not talking top 6 or even just below that, just a team that gives us some hope of mid table or promotion from the championship. Oh, for a play off final at Wembley again - we haven’t had that excitement for years :-)

We are not a 'Big' sought after club with significant resources.We have only just attained 'Category One' academy status. Our stadium is in dire need of an upgrade. To be in the PL for successive seasons is an achievement in itself after the 'Off-field' problems which we encountered not once but twice in fairly recent times. We have an ageing squad which needs replacing with little or no resale value and at the present time we will not have the transfer funds for a significant outlay for replacements. Certainly in terms of a sale,the club is worth far more in the PL than it would be in the Championship! Hodgson is seen as the man to secure our PL survival.

This is virtually the same squad we've had for 4 years. They can play a different way. Why they arnt is down to tactics. Dont concede for 70 mins. Catch one on the break. Problem being we cant do that breakaway goal if we are trying not to go 2 down. Luka has not lost his ability as he is a good player. Why he isnt showing it is down to tactics. He used to be an attacking midfielder. Breaks up play gets forward shoots some times, well he used to and that's one example. If roy thinks they havent got the legs then put a couple of hungry young players on the pitch. Nothing to lose apart from a game which is what we are doing anyway.

Sole objective according to who? Has anyone from the board ever said that? 2nd fewest goals scored in the division (behind Norwich) and comfortably the fewest scored at home. In the last 7 seasons, only one team has survived scoring 30 goals or less in a season which was Huddersfield in 17/18. Every other time the team has gone down. Only a handful of teams have survived scoring 33/34 - we’ll be lucky to hit that. Whether you think it’s a fluke or not is irrelevant, it is completely unsustainable the way we approach games - I’ve said it so many times, but any basic level of analysis will prove that. A season such as the one we’ve played results in a relegation 8 or 9 times out of 10.

2nd fewest goals scored in the division (behind Norwich) and comfortably the fewest scored at home.

In the last 7 seasons, only one team has survived scoring 30 goals or less in a season which was Huddersfield in 17/18. Every other time the team has gone down. Only a handful of teams have survived scoring 33/34 - we’ll be lucky to hit that.

Whether you think it’s a fluke or not is irrelevant, it is completely unsustainable the way we approach games - I’ve said it so many times, but any basic level of analysis will prove that.

A season such as the one we’ve played results in a relegation 8 or 9 times out of 10.
