The main thing at the moment is to fecking get behind Dougie and the team on Monday. It's a hell of a crucial game and we need everyone there to give the sort of support we gave during the admin last season.

The crowd is outstanding, and especially with the penalty after 44 minutes it was clear when we came out after half-time the welcome would be pretty loud and not too friendly. Crystal Palace wanted to strike back, so that was all clear. This is a wonderful place to play football - Jurgen Klopp

I'm not sure that's fair. Warnock couldn't put out a full subs bench at the end of last year and relied on Derry playing every match. Losing Moses and Fonte was already a big blow, Derry was more than just a player to lose - he was captain and midfield rock, add to that John and Ertl, Lawrence now being 36, Scannell ruled out through injury, and Ambrose out injured for most of the games.

You can say other clubs have a smaller wage bill, but the players in those clubs have had a lot longer to gel and find their shape. I think it is a fair argument that Burley was working with an incomplete squad, and a totally uncompetitive midfield, Having said that, Burley did have time to replace Derry and he failed to do it.

Steve, anyone you can mention on that list (obviously I appreciate not those currently employed!)

All the best, very decent of you to be on here.

If we get clearence it'll be up to Dougie

Evening steve

im one if your members of staff at palace, i just would like to say that im happy on your decision to sack george burley

i hope you make the right decision to take over from burley

i just like to ask

as a palace fan like myself did you listen to the fans about sacking george burley or did you make the decision with the consortium

Possibly leading the witness syd??

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
