we played a very poor Burnley team and lost!!

We need a leader on the pitch yes Cahill

as for the bench, its Ray, Roy when the pan tv shots at him looks clueless because when was the last time you saw this manager have the "Balls" to make a positive change, He had 4 defenders on the bench because he wanted to get the 1st goal, then defend like Brighton match perhaps?

There wasn't a lot in it last night. But for a stupid mix up the game may have ended very differently. Unlike in some games in the last 12 months I think last night was less about tactics and more about a lack of quality with the final pass repeatedly misplaced. Burnley were back to full strength at the back and they are capable of shutting out much better teams than us when they have their best defence (the only team to get a clean sheet at Anfield in something like 60 games). I was veering towards Roy out, but there are signs of improvement and I think he should steer the ship until the end of the season providing we don't see a cataclysmic slump like the end of last season. Stick Cahill back in and we should look a lot more solid and actually have a leader on the pitch.

Roy is the type of manager who can take a 20th place team and get them to 15th. And he can take a 10th place team and get them to 15th.

Apart from when he took West Brom to 11th. Or Fulham to 7th place, then to the Europa League final.

Or us to 11th, 12th and 14th.

There of course has been criticism of Hodgson's style of football.

I have just perused this in relation to Sam Ricketts whom Shrewsbury relieved of his duties today :

"Ricketts’ Shrewsbury were built on a solid, compact backline. Ricketts’ ethos was safety first, be secure, keep a clean sheet, don’t concede more than one.

It brought some results – notably in the FA Cup where there were some brilliant memories in fourth-round runs and a 15th-placed finish was, historically at least, pretty good.

But fans, who barring 1,000 in September have not been in the Meadow since March, demanded a more exciting, attacking style.

In doing so, the side lost its identity, forgot what it had previously been good at and became trapped neither here nor there. The squad – big, unbalanced and patched up – lost its way"

It's aimed at the fans who desire our players to play like Liverpool and hate Mr Hodgson because he wont let his players do it.

Or perhaps because he didn't have much choice?

Out our squad of 25, 11 were starters, 6 (excludes Mitchell who is not part of the 25) were on the bench and 4 (Wilf, Luka, McCarthy and Tomkins) were unavailable for various reasons. The remaining 4 squad members are Henderson (GK), Kelly, Woods (both defenders) and Meyer who seems totally surplus to requirements since Eze's arrival.

So from the squad members available, only Meyer could have provided an additional attacking option. Could have used some U23s, if any are considered ready to step up ....

I sometimes wonder how well Meyer could have done if we opted for a completely different way.

This summer we need a change of leadership.

The mentality under Roy is wrong, from parish down to the players.

A new manager can get us finishing the league in the same mid table position as Roy, but in a more entertaining way, with better sound bites post game and also, Roy will be 74.

It’s all very well saying this but it would be better if you backed it up with a suggestion of who could come in that’s available and better that Roy.

As a realistic Palace fan, the one things we need as a club right now is stability. Factoring in all the background changes to the Academy, stadium and general infrastructure not to mention the economic situation!

Let me get this right..you're blaming Roy for Parish's mentality ? And you want '' better '' interviews from a new manager...wow...

Eddie Howe was talking about what he'd do if he was Palace manager last night and not commenting much about Burnley. Perhaps putting himself forward?

Can't really blame Roy for last night. We need a midfielder who can take control of the ball and find a decent pass. Reidewald did well before being taken off. MacArthur is sadly now only a Championship player.

After taking the lead, Burnley did well. We seemed to repeatedly try and carry the ball out of our own half, that gave them time to drop back into a tight formation and crowd us out every time we got near the final 3rd.

Batshuayi had an awful game. Hopefully its just lacking a bit of match sharpness. Benteke might have been as we consistently failed to get the ball in the box.

It seemed strange the options on the bench were Sakho and Cahill. Why would you need both?

Kouyate isn't really a defender. He's not really a midfielder either. It's questionable if he's actually a footballer.

Clyne seems to have a quiet but competent performance.

PVA always seems to be a mix bag. His passing is woeful at times.

Ultimately, it's a game we should be winning and we were below par all round, but not bad enough to take the risk of replacing him. Story of Roy's career.

Heard Christian Eriksen is unhappy at Inter, lol. Seriously though, thought Monday's performance was typical Palace. Great morale boosting win against tough opponents, then a poor defeat against struggling opposition. Whilst the international break may not of helped, think largely the fluctuating inconsistency that has occurred for many seasons would of occurred in any case. Think we just don't have the players capable of putting a very good run together, come what may. Last time this happened I think was under Dougie in the Championship when FFS was on fire, causing the manager to leave for "better climes".

Clearly if we are defeated tonight, which of course is a realistic possibility, the cries of "Roy Out" will reach a crescendo and he will be on the end of unrelenting invective.
