Mr Hodgson is building a very solid foundation Purely as a matter of interest why is our manager Mr Hodgson yet Burnley's manager is just plain old Dyche?

With respect, I have never suggested Dyche as a replacement for Hodgson. In actual fact I have asserted there is no vacancy and unlikely to be one for the foreseeable future. For reasons of continuity,may be in the Club's best interests to extend Roy's stay for at least another year.Probably our best start for many a year and at last,we have a new attacking style with Ezre starting.

Whilst Hodgson has steadied things for us, his departure will only lead to relegation if we replace him with a duff manager who tries to play a style of football the squad aren't ready for. As Hodgson, himself has acknowledged, we now have the best squad during his tenure at the club (and in my view, since the PL was formed). We also have a promising academy. Too often, we Palace fans can talk up other average/poor PL clubs.

No ordure directed against Roy Hodgson after the splendid Leeds victory for obvious reasons. I think if we show some attacking intent at Burnley, most on here will say "We had a go but it wasn't our day". If we go with defence only in mind, the critics will return. Rightly to my mind, because we have the players to attack and beat Burnley. IMO
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

IMO Burnley will not be able to sustain any long periods of pressure what with confidence being low and the desperation to get themselves out of this mess, I expect them to give it a real go but we will be far too strong on the break for them to cope for the whole 90 mins, since their 0-1 win over us they have won only three more, drawn six and lost eight, scoring twelve times and letting in twenty six. I predict three points and a third straight win at their place.

Burney have hardly been awash with goals, only scoring 1 in their last 6 PL games. I just believe it will be a far harder challenge than perhaps many expect. With the exception of the clubs right at the top of the league, they haven't really been conceding either. I suspect that we are going to have a very ugly game of football.

And could that be down to the way the team has evolved/not evolved under Roy and so many players out of contract end of this season, are the foundations solid at Palace for a new manager?

For your benefit "that true six months form..." its the current reality why many fans are worried of where we are heading, when you see more games like against Brighton (plus he seems clueless playing teams like Chelsea based on away matches there this season and last... it was more about keeping the goals going in, down!), Then we get games where Roys seems to wake up.. "we can win this".. great games against UTD, Soton, Leeds. Not sure fully about Fulham although we won, if was more of a "safe format"....to get a win. But a wins a win.... Our fans can see we have some great players but who are under achieving when negative tactics are employed. You can see clearly when Zaha.. is P..sd off, even Ayew, Luka!! Or does he continue to rely on defensive formations with no belief we can get much out of a match and hope our counter attacking comes off to please a section of our fans? Where are you with Roy?

still dont understand why your using the last 10 games of last season, as they dont & didnt matter. actually i do know why, because using an awful run of form after the restart to help weight your agenda against the manager. all the currently matters is this current season, and out progress this season so far. if we lose to burnley we will still have 13 points from 9 games...comfortably mid-table
