0-0 he goes. If we don't register a shot on target and show willing to win. He already claimed was Swansea was must win.

I know your post was in reply to Willo. I wasn't calling you out for not replying to me. I'm not that precious. I was just repeating my question because after my question you were repeating your claims of not backing the manager during the thread.

I have highlighted the keywords as to why it would be a good idea to chill. So you know it yourself, maybe a little persuasion.

There are a couple of reasons why Parish shouldn't or shouldn't need to 'publicly back Frank.'

1. It's the dreaded vote of confidence and if he is sacked then that opens up more arguments.

2. He's already stated what I've said above regarding 'results, Frank knows this, if we don't get them, well.'

3. How does Parish know what the next 2 games will be? Could be brilliant, or could be terrible (see points 1 and 2).

You may be right but it was Parish I presume ( as we had no amangerat the time ) that managed to get Zaha to stay.

As much as Pardew frustrated me he had some credit in the bank. But Frank has none, and has come in and what appears to be promise gradual changes and do the exact opposite. ask yourself, how would you respond to someone saying and doing that in a couple of weeks after starting the job and being given access to £45 million net spend, when you know yourself 3-4-3 is going to need £100 mil, Ward isn't in a million years a wing back and the chances of us getting 3 competent back 3 CB's is slim at best? And that's on top of keeper, back up striker, back up whatever else.

Honestly mate, sometimes fans on here verge on the type of lazy criticisms coming from panellists and pundits. 'Lack' of funds and other sh1t.

Parish has said its a results business, which it is. He hasn't 'publicly backed' Frank because the start, approach, selections, respect for palace, opponents and league has been not a lot short of arrogant and insulting. That's why. He needs to up his game and the 'results and Frank knows' comment needed saying.

However, I hope Frank heeds this and we move forward.

Croydon Troll has excelled in his lack of knowledge yet again. He has no idea when we are playing.
Many on here are demanding FDB be sacked etc, but they don't realise the enormity of the task he took on. We lost 4 out of 5 at the end of last season, the only win coming against a poor doomed Hull side.
All this stuff about bring Sam back is nonsense, he couldn't improve us in the long term. Parish realised that and has tried something new, whether FDB was the right choice is yet to be seen.
Any manager he employed had a very difficult job, as we are not as good as many on here think we should be.
Give FDB 10 games to show what he can do, 3 games is no time.
Why should Parish make any statement, it will only be held as gospel and used to beat him with.

Generally speaking, as long as we kick it in the correct direction FDB will still be in charge on Monday no matter what the result is. (Win, lose, or draw).

Don't believe all of the media hype.
