Anyone who put money towards the Academy needs to ask for refund. Why not give youngsters a run out, couldn’t have done any worse Good point. Whats the use of having an academy when we don't play them. Wan Bassaka only came through because every other full back was injured. Those kids must know they wont get a game and the chance of them getting near the first team are zero. What a toothless display from our team of old men.

Roy had 30 minutes at 1-0 down to make some changes and get something from the game. Instead he stood there looking gormless. Burnley were down to the bones and had to put 2 GKs on the bench. They were playing 6 defenders most of the second half. We should have gone 3 at the back and tried to widen the attack. Negative tactics and inflexible game management sum up Roys career. Oh and 28 goals in 32 games is pathetic. Couldn't agree more, Even if Dann or Cahill went up as a target man to cause a nuisance in the last 5 or 10 minutes, tactics just seemed to lack hunger. As for those saying about the academy if I was to pick any team for our young wingers to run at it would be Burnley.

We improved as soon as McCarthy came on then unfortunately got sucker punched. Mayer, like when he came on against Brighton seemed to add a more creative ball, but should have come on for anyone but Townsend. If they are sticking everyone behind the ball, keep a player who can shoot from distance on the pitch. Two subs from a possible 5 is just criminal. Add some pace, try and get through. Same Hodgson tactics as used to bore people to death as England manager. The opposition have stuck everyone behind the ball, so we just pass it left to right. Learnt nothing from the Liverpool game, when we say back, they stuck in high balls which drop into space.

Let’s be honest with ourselves we are blessed to be not fighting relegation. With the lack of investment in the squad, the oldest squad in the division, 1 right back, basically no strikers. Our injuries list this season this year was horrific earlier on. We are not ready for Europe so il take 12th place. This is the truth and the reaction on these boards to the manager every time we lose a game are embarrassing. Thought I was looking at an Arsenal or West Ham forum.

Most of us have been saying the same thing for some years We need a creative midfielder The season will fade away now ,nothing to play for ,no enthusiasm from the crowd ….. silence To be honest I can’t really see Roy playing a creative mildfielder as he likes to have 3 defensive minded men in the middle. The closest we have is Meyer and although he hasn’t really done much apart from when he comes off the bench, he barely plays and when he does it seems to be on the wing

WHy are people begging for the youngsters its waste of time I heard that he mentions it in his build up to this game on Palace player and just watched it he even states he wont be using them. He is also making lots of excuses up about injuries. O and on to the Zaha diehards the guy is not injured stop making excuses for him he has been awful all season and you really think is he had an injury he is going to risk himself give it a rest no he wont he wants out of this club. The players have no fight clearly not interested now we are safe and Roy is so annoying we can use 5 subs yet same old every time. He's one of the best media trained managers in the division. If you just read our post match reviews it always sounds not too bad. If you watched it you realised it was awful, and Roy would rather take a narrow defeat. He's loaned out Sorloth and Wickham. He never makes subs, it's no wonder we get so many injuries.

Personally I would have pushed one of the central defenders up front with 15 mins remaining to give us some height in attack and urged the players to get the ball into the area. We made it far too comfortable for Burnley. As for Meyer, what on earth does he offer our team?

The reality is that our two outstanding players this season didn’t perform tonight and that was the difference. Without Ayew’s individuality and Guaita’s goalkeeping we’d be relegation material. The squad is ageing and lacks balance with regard to attacking options.
