No sustained form for nearly 2 years.
3 managers quiting without having another job to go to.
Today's team was made up of signings from 7 managers.
Boardroom disharmony, I understand Parish didn't even know FDB had been sacked by the Americans hence his drunk sounding twittering on Sunday night.
An extremely poor transfer window that didn't address urgent needs.
And to top it all reports / rumours of player power.
Good luck Roy.

The hard facts are with Zaha and Sakho we will be very average. Without them we are simply not good enough.
Those two coming back soon will improve us and we might win again by scoring some goals. But we must be favourites for relegation right now.
All the above posts pointing out very valid issues just add to our woes.
We are going to struggle.

We will know our fait by Christmas, regrettable as it may sound but we will be all but relegated by the time that we play Arsenal on Boxing Day, just in time for the players agents to start sorting out their moves .... I suspect that we wil end up doing a Blackburn,Wigan, Blackpool and dare I say it Charlton as we slip deep into decline and debt.
I just can't see any reaction, a new manager today and the response from the players was .............. Naff all !

When Parish kept faith with Pardew after the 2016 Cup Final we were toast.
We have never recovered despite staying up.
When they are all fit we have a good first team but we are unbalanced and short on quality.
I hope i am wrong but with Hodgson in charge we have no inspiration either.
Relegation is staring us in the face already and sadly for the first time ever i have to look at Steve Parish - i think he has made one error too many now.

Simple answer, the players are not good enough. We have maybe 5 players that are quality, the rest make up the team. You can tell we have real problems with quality when no-one is interested in buying our players. I wouldn't want to buy them either.

What if he's injured here?

The problem is there's a few over 11 quality players so in several positions there's only 1.

1 striker.

2 decent wingers for 2 wings.

1 decent RB in mensah who has to play CB.

1 number 10 in Cheek who's only just come back in.

1 cr@p keeper.

Far too many to play cr@p and keep their place or make mistakes or weak links. Oh and Puncheon being captain needs to change asap so it'll mean dropping him more likely. Make Sakho or Luca captain on Monday.
