That email was harsh but fair. We might as well just forfeit every remaining game and just give 3 points to the opposition ... we have NO clear direction ... the opposition teams know it and our players know it. Fir all 3 goals today our players were lost and unsure what to do. The third goal no-one actually moved (asides from Vincente) everyone just watched. If the players can’t be arsed ... why should we pay our hard earned towards the club? Don’t get me wrong ... I’m still Palace but recent results have not been acceptable. Even under Alan Smith and that 6-1 drubbing the players tried harder ... today their heads dropped after the first goal and no-one out effort in. They say hard work never hurt anyone ... but why take a chance?

I would guess you and loads more.

It was an absolute horrendous performance, but we have plenty of games to get the desired points we need, changes need to be made after the season has finished without any doubt ..but like our points total so far the need to panic is something we don't.

That you are probably right but why you so adamant & confident there is no other manager out there capable of doing the same but playing a slightly more attacking style.
