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?

If he becomes our manager he'll receive one.

Hodgson has served as a manager for a period extending 45 years and has of course managed internationally and I believe he has been at the helm at 15 clubs.

He has not had long periods between jobs over the 45 years and this speaks volumes for how he has been viewed over a long period.
He is hugely experienced and is respected in the world of football.

Dont you realise that the new manager is already here.

Once Roy steps down, in steps Dougie.

You look at Roy's style of play and players like Eze dont seem to add up. Dougie is getting players he wants for his side.

Plus there are no costs involved in getting him.

The only thing will be if there is a top class manager available at the time, and they are prepared to come here.

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.
I have considered the possibility that should we retain our place in the PL this season and Hodgson has a desire to continue he could well be given the opportunity to do so.

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.
Roy at the end of his contract can then enter the political arena and show his true leadership qualities,like Biden!!

13 pts from 8 games.
Last season we actually attained 14 pts from the same number of games, the season before 10 pts.

I am more than happy with points over playing "attractive" football

If i wanted easy on the eye, pleasant football id follow man city, liverpool etc...

its always one or the other with palace...good football and no points or s***e football and points on the board! never at the same time.

lets be realistic here once hodgson goes i would put a heavy bet on us going down within a season!

Something of an over-simplified statement. We've had both at the same time - the Venable years for starters - although I accept such a combination has not happened as often as we would have liked.

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.
Should we be defeated at Burnley, I suspect he will once again face shot and shell.
They will prove a tough nut to crack.

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.

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.

Just for clarity I wasn't predicting a loss. I was predicting criticism if we just defend.

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.

 

Eaglecoops Flag CR3 11 Nov 20 9.13am

Every game is a cup final for Burnley at the moment which will make it a tight match. They are desperate for points. Having said that, they have scored so few goals that 1 for us could win us the game, so I’m going for a narrow victory.

 

A1969Eagle Flag Redhill 11 Nov 20 5.47pm

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?

A1969Eagle Flag Redhill 11 Nov 20 6.21pm

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!),
they are relative to the matches played from June at the end of last season. based on his preferred tactical A-Plan, with same core of his favourite players.

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....
But is this not the Roy, surely our fans want to see, a positive Roy?

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

 

Willo Flag South coast - west of Brighton. 11 Nov 20 7.40pm

Should we survive in the PL this season, Hodgson will have kept us in the top flight for 4 seasons without having spent a significant amount in the transfer market.

Should this be his last season at the club and we have to appoint a new manager there might well be a sense of perturbation amongst the supporters.

Should this be Roy’s last season
There will be perturbation amongst the owners for sure!
