I'm afraid I don't follow the logic. Does the fact that Leicester and Man U have scored just three times the amount of goals from corners than Palace have excuse our woeful performance from set pieces? Bear in mind they also have far more in their armoury in other areas than we do to enable them to score goals too. People will find all sorts of reasons for defending Hodgson but some do defy credibility.

Regarding taking corners, it has been argued here that Kane took corners because he was considered the best at delivering the ball by Hodgson. Think about that briefly and then apply the same criteria to Milo. Edited by southnorwoodhill (18 Jul 2020 12.58pm)

Why do you think with the same decent headers of a ball in Dann, Sakho, Cahill, Tomkins (perm any 2 from 4) and Benteke do we not score hardly ever at set pieces and in particular corners? If your answer is going to be because the delivery is not good enough then who’s responsible for improving that delivery? Look at Man Utd’s delivery at corners the other night. Are our players not capable of doing that or does he just get Milivojevic to take them because he always has? Look, I appreciate you are a staunch supporter of Roy but he is not getting the best out of what we already have. If he has a weakness at set pieces surely he should get a coach in specifically for that role. Edited by Eaglecoops (18 Jul 2020 1.02pm)

It's ultimately his job to be in charge, and take responsibility for performances. If we are sh1t at set pieces it's because we are not working on them. It pretty bloody obvious when you watch the games. Red and Blue Army!

We'll have to agree to disagree. It would be harsh to hold him solely responsible for this season and it has to be ackowledged that he did a decent job in his first season. But it is difficult to accept the reverence reserved for him by some as if he is a combination of Ferguson/Mourinho who is the only possible manager who could keep us up (despite Pulis, Pardew and Allardyce all achieving the same). The performances have been poor this season and this is partly attributable to Hodgson. Does that seem so unreasonable?

And this here lies the issue with the Roy haters , what does he have to Be responsible for? For keeping us up with a shoe string budget? For getting results over our rivals , Watford , Brighton and also getting a point at city and winning at United? Not losing to arsenal ? Everyone needs to wake up, Roy is the man and will get results when needed “This is a crisis, a large crisis.... in fact if you have a moment, it’s a 12 storey crisis, magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24 hour portage , and an enormous sign on the roof saying “This , is a large crisis” - Edmund Blackadder

I'm not sure the existing squad will be injury-free enough to do it otherwise despite Roy's best efforts

I’m not a Hodgson ‘hater.’ I recognise the good jobs he did at Fulham and WBA. He also presided over away wins at Man C and Arsenal for us in the same season which I was fortunate to witness.. Never thought I would see that and we managed to score 3 goals in both games. But we have to face the facts - that’s history. With more or less the same group of players we’ve never looked like scoring 3 goals in a game this season let alone actually scoring them in a single game. Surely it’s reasonable this season to query his overly defensive approach, reluctance to vary tactics and predictability. Let’s face it if the fans know what minute he’s going to substitute one defensive midfielder for another I’m pretty sure the opposing manager does to. He’ll probably stay and there may well be three worse teams next season as well. That will be enough for some fans but not others. Football is no different to other facets of life and you don’t go forward by standing still. Do even the Hodgson fans really trust him to enhance the development of the young players we are linked with the summer? Experience would tell us otherwise.

If we have money for the basis of a new team then a longer term manager needs to be appointed to shape the recruitment. Maybe worth the risk for long term gain. If we have another season of end-of-career and loan player recruitment, to make do, then we need to stick with Roy who will do a better, safer job than anybody else we may be able to get. I do agree our set pieces need a lot of work but I really cannot see this set of players playing an expansive game successfully however much we'd like it.
