The question is, is Roy getting the most out of the talent level of our roster? I don't believe he is. Our roster is much better than last year, and we look as bad, or worse. We lost to two very bad teams, without scoring one goal.

Second, our team often looks unmotivated, slow, and complacent. Maybe that is because we play such a defensive, non-attacking setup every match. The players are going through the motions.

Either way, I think Roy has lost the plot here. Or maybe he has just grown stale with the players. If I was a talented player, I really would not want to play under him.

I don't want him out now, because it would be too disruptive, but I would like a new manager next season.

2017 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Middlesboro
2018 Jan. (Sako) Palace 1 - 0 Burnley
2019 May (Batshuayi, Batshuayi, OG, Van Aanholt, Townsend) Palace 5 - 3 Bournemouth
2020 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Newcastle

The only attacking tactics we have is to get it to Zaha as often as possible. Without him in the team we have nothing going forward.

When we hadn't won a game for about a year it took me absolutely ages to turn on Pardew.

Every week I'd turn up and watch us hit the post, miss easy 1 on 1's and make calamitous individual mistakes to lose games. Week after week. I could not begin to blame Pardew when in front of my own eyes I was watching professional football players either miss chances or make defensive howlers. Out of complete confusion at our form I started to think it's irrelevant who the manager is, these blokes are professional footballers, why does it matter what the manager is saying, you're either going to take that easy 1 on 1 or you're not (like Wilson did tonight).

A charge towards the top ten or Europe would be lovely but it's not about that, it's about it being unacceptable to come away from a game with this feeling. The feeling that I could have done better rolling that ball across to Batshuayi or I could have done better making that clearance against Burnley or I could have done better realising it might be worth giving Big Ben a start tonight. And being absolutely blind livid because now the weekends fuc*ed as this week already was and so will next week be until we get another go.

There comes a point where the penny drops and you realise either we're a complete shower of sh*t or we haven't got the right brain on the sideline and I'm pretty confident we're far from a shower.

nothing will change until Parish accepts we have gone as far we can with an aged squad with withering talent and a manager whose only remit is to keep us in the premiership and the supporters deserve a fresh remit

There are really tough games over December. Another 6-7 losing run looks a reality.

If Roy can avoid that and get some points he'll regain my respect. But I think we're heading south.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

All well and good, and I'm leaning towards this – if we lose to west brom he is in trouble...

But ultimately, who the hell do we actually want to replace him? And I mean realistically here, not fantasy league. Further, who wants to come here that we would be happy with? It's not an easy one. It's easy to sack someone but you've also got to think about properly replacing him.

I think we will stay up mid table with him in charge – which perhaps for this chaotic period is the best end game, but the club need to start thinking now about close season and getting someone new in for 21/22.

Keep us going, mid table finish, done his job then get someone new in, in time for fans back in the stadium and a fresh start.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Oh to be a palace fan hey? What a time it is! I have been taking to my mates and my old man tonight, lots of different opinions, Roy in, Roy out, Roy on a hog roast , Roy needing a statue , to be honest , I was absolutely Roy in before tonight but one of my old mans messages made me think I’m going to copy and paste it, it made me laugh , hopefully it will you kit aswell and cheer everyone up.

P.S WE ARE PALACE AND WILL ALWAYS COME OUT IF ANY SH1THOLE WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN, HAVE FAITH

(Copy and paste from my dads message)

It’s not really been going consistently from last season when we lost all them match’s on the run in and i can see it ending badly if he doesn’t leave soon. I honestly don’t know how he does it, because I’m nearly 66 and I’m overweight and unwell and I couldn’t get up every morning and take training, talks, man management, responsibility of the team playing well, interviews with press, he’s got to have problems just remembering stuff at his age, i do,, f*** that,, thanks Roy and well done 👍, but give it a rest now eh.

Do you think Gerrard or Poch will poke up with our transfer "strategy"

I’ll give you a clue to next weeks game, no bite in midfield, no movement up front, and 2 banks of 4 crabbing side to side across the training pitch for the whole of next week in a concerted effort to sure things up. You can see the players have lost it with him as well.
