When the teamsheet went up for Arsenal, that should have been the defining moment for replacing Roy. Definition of insanity confirmed and not surprisingly we were completely outclassed both on the pitch and in the dugout. Just having watched Sheffield United play today, they were fighting for a win and under Roy we will be defeated before the whistle even blows and so his departure will be done. The game plan for the season of installing Roy, thereby minimising squad improvement in the summer in the obviously weak positions and nothing substantive this month leaves only one option left. You could say in hindsight it was all so predictable, but even if it was just a mere probability, it seems today there is no plan B - so no wonder the Homesdale Fanatics have lost patience - as have many of us. Its not rocket science; I don't know the finer points of the internal club dynamics, but to the outsider it has "Amateur Hour" written all over it! Edited by radicalsteve (21 Jan 2024 4.20pm)

In fairness to Roy, I thought his post-match interview on BBC was excellent - all the more so given the circumstances. I think he should stay to the end of the season. Furthermore, I think the board should make that commitment immediately - to end uncertainty for Roy, for the team and for the fans. The situation is calling out for a statement of intent from SP, and he should demonstrate leadership by making it forthwith. Backing Roy is both the best practical decision and the ethical decision. There are few virtues greater than loyalty.

If he were at Palace playing under your suggested philosophy under Roy he’d probably still be playing for the u21’s..!! The frustration is there is clear and obvious talent and potential being overlooked and held back by Roy - precisely for the reason you have stated - because so called more “experienced professionals” are being selected week in and week out - despite how poorly they perform and the subsequent/associated results..!!

Originally posted by MonsterMunch No one can be surprised in the current situation. We’ve had this feeling of malaise with Roy for 4 years. Anyone who went through that period knew he would revert back to type soon enough. This is on the board as far as I’m concerned. They just thought they could limp over the line, this will likely still be the case even if Roy stays. By Roy’s own admission palace came knocking on his door when PV was given the boot not the other way round. Roy’s a gentleman and a proper football man and accepted the offer in palaces hour of need. Parish and co should not have put Roy in this position. Roy’s time was more than done last time round. To compound the situation they have given him next to zero support, everybody knows Roy won’t play a teenage kid from Brazil in his first season, just like he won’t play the young palace kids either. It’s not his way, everybody knows this which makes the signing even more odd. Yes he’s one for the future, but our need was short term and while Roy is with us. Yes Roy ever the gentleman has said he came into the role with his eyes wide open but they have failed him. I’m sad it’s ended/ending like this for Roy and was so unnecessary. We do need to move on from Roy, even though the noises out the club are the players are fully behind him still. I hated seeing that image of Roy looking at that banner yesterday albeit I very much agree that message was needed. The club needs a lift, a new personality leading our team can given us that. Parish’s managerial decisions bar Roy have been very questionable so we’ll have to trust he gets this one right. Roy has been forced back to his old style, due to circumstances beyond his control. Last season he had Decoure, Eze, Olise and Zaha all playing well, thats all gone tits up. Olise injured bar 5-6 games, Eze injured twice, Decoure out most of the season and Zaha couldnt make up his mind, then chose Turkey mid August. So, his attacking options are curtailed. Very few managers in the Premier play youth players over experience, unless forced due to injuries. Football is a cruel world, it can turn at an instance and managers get very little sympathy, usually the sack for not having their best players available.

Football is a cruel world, it can turn at an instance and managers get very little sympathy, usually the sack for not having their best players available. Forced back into his old style isn't working, however. I can entirely understand the lack of our best players. Nevertheless, I can look at Pulis, for example. He had a crap side and used it to his nest ability to scrape points. We have to do the same now. We simply have to work on set pieces. We have no choice than to try and make goal chances from our own, largely regardless of where they are on the pitch. We need to put men forward and lump it up - however much that offends Roy's sensibilities. Same goes for defending them. We're going to have to bring everyone back, more or less, and defend them as a team. Bottom line is that we can't stick to Roy's system with what we have available. The squad is crap, admittedly, but is suited to other systems, not Roy's one. When Olise and Ayes are back then we can play Roy's system. In the meantime, we should change - and quite obviously frankly - to a narrow defensive, more direct approach. We should also look to exploit set pieces as we should at least get some goals from then. Again, it's not hard to work out when a team isn't scoring. Get goals anyway you can. It would be crap football, we wouldn't be Ajax, but we would be Palace and making the most out of what we've got is our only current choice. When better/different personnel are there then play the system Roy likes. It's getting ridiculous now. I feel Roy has to go, however, I get the feeling no one really particularly wants to come here. But I guess we'll see. Red and Blue Army!

Well, nothing happens quickly at Palace, so he has that going for him. Sheffield United is a must-win. It has been thought that RH specializes in beating sides in the bottom half of the table, but that halo has slipped a bit this season. Should the manager lose the next game, that may well be it. In the unlikely event that there is someone already waiting in the wings (other than Paddy Mac.) then to give him a few days to prepare for the next match might make sense? It may be that if RH stays until the end of the season, Palace will escape relegation (just). On balance, I would think that the Board will take the view that there is a better likelihood of this happening than if it replaces him (just).

Well, nothing happens quickly at Palace, so he has that going for him.

In the unlikely event that there is someone already waiting in the wings (other than Paddy Mac.) then to give him a few days to prepare for the next match might make sense?

Aint that the truth . Unless of course its the release of a new home shirt or sale of season tickets . Hmm i see a pattern forming .

This ignores the way Parish normally acts - a run as bad as this has presumably brought about at least a meeting or two. One with Roy I would think. I could be wrong, just a hunch, but I think there will be news maybe soon. And I doubt it will be about the New Main Stand. Red and Blue Army!

To be completely fair, they also didn’t have new home shirts available last season until about Christmas and this year it took several weeks to get more than 1 box full of Mediums. I just don’t think it’s right to say the Board is competent in this area, they’re equally useless at all aspects!
