He sure did. An early goal, deflected no less! And when the scorer of that goal had to go off injured, he was replaced by someone who conjured up one of the goals, if not THE goal of the season! How lucky can you get? What are the odds? Not only that, Wilf avoided a red card for slapping their chap around the chops! Surely any other ref would have relished sending Zaha off? O Lucky Day!

Pathetic wind up, must try harder.

As long as injuries don’t cripple us I think parish and Hodgson will have achieved the objective again of not being as bad as the 3 worst teams. The end of the season as usual might provide the opportunity to claim some more points vs disinterested opposition players.

What great ambition .... again and a shining light to would be transfer targets.

 


Bring back Brolin

Clearly you miss the point. And what you have just posted is known as "projection".

I really don't think many of our supporters think about the possibility of a top 4 or top 6 finish and are delighted just to retain our PL place.

We are many years away from having a modern stadium and modern state-of-the-art training facilities.

You believe then that based on a study of present trends our club is a Pathetic wind up, is that correct?

Overall as a club we have done exceptionally well to retain our PL status and build a fairly strong squad. Credit to SP and RH for steadying the ship after the Dutchman. Fans should look back over the last 10 years and be thankful for players like Wilf and now Eze coming to the fore. Let's move forward and look forward to more success.

That 4 game blip. How could anyone possibly manage to turn that round? Witchcraft maybe?

We lost Benteke to a knee injury for two months in Roy's second game, a 5-0 defeat away to Man City. At the time he was the only fit recognised striker.

I would not discount the scenario whereby we retain our PL place and Roy Hodgson continues to be manager beyond this season.

One can only speculate if in general supporters will be happy for him to continue in these circumstances.

I think that is a strong possibility unless a strong contender arrives on the scene.

So far 9 games against teams from 1-10 in the table have yielded 9 points and from those 11-20 have yielded 13 points from 8 games You'd be crazy to want to sack a manager with that record unless you get Guardiola, Klopp or a manager with credentials like those to replace him.

Anyone who wants him gone just needs to look at the table. We are 4 points off Chelsea and a nice gap is building up to the relegation spots.

If there was ever a bad year to get relegated then this is it. Most clubs are haemorrhaging money because of Covid. Staying in the division is the only priority this year.

This!
And it's why Hodgson will most likely continue as our manager until it is clear that this objective has been met. If he decides it's time to retire (and it's a big 'if' then he may just go before the end of the season if a new manager has been identified and is available and the objective has already been met.

I just have a hunch that many supporters will want a change even if PL survival is secured.

There has to be a transition with older players leaving the club and a desire to 'Freshen up' the squad and I just feel that many believe it is time for a reset with a new man in charge.

I am unsure whether the majority of supporters would wish to change the manager on the back of PL survival for 4 seasons.

Yes, that would make sense.

I would very much doubt we are looking for a new manager right now. If Parrish was a fisherman he would undoubtedly favour still water lakes over rivers.

I'm confused by people saying we got lucky against Sheffield Utd? We won because we worked hard and took our chances. Sheffield Utd created one proper chance which they hit straight at Ward. How is that lucky? There are games where I would have agreed with the sentiment, like possibly Spurs, or maybe even Leicester, but not Saturday. We didn't play the most eye-catching football but from the fourth minute to the last minute the result never seemed in doubt and the team worked incredibly hard for it.

Having said all that, I do think our squad is one of the weakest out of all the established PL sides once you take out Wilf and Eze and that has shown when we have played these teams. Aside from the surprising early-doors wins against Southampton and Man Utd (both of which looked half asleep to be fair) all of our wins have come against teams promoted last year or this year. This has always been Roy's strength, ensuring we get results against teams in the bottom half and it should be enough to see us safe if that pattern continues. However, I still maintain that whomever is in charge next season we will not climb above 12th without investment in the squad. The only other established PL club which continues to spend at a similar level is Burnley and they have just been taken over by someone promising to invest. Roy's investment to points ratio is probably only matched by Burnley, so that should be a worrying sign.

He would most certainly dust off and pack his old bamboo rod and feather float as they have served him well and were good enough to catch roach and rudd 20-years ago, rather than any of the fancy carbon fibre rods, lightweight reels and bite alarms that are all the rage in the quest to land monster carp these days.

Why would anyone want Roy out when he's won every single match this year?
