The realty may very well be that in 3 weeks time we are played 8 lost 8 scored 0. This would likely mean we have 30 games and a -10 points difference to make up. Logic says if that is the position we are dead but miracles can happen and escape would be the greatest achievement ever by a Palace team. The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

Our defence in theory is now good. What we are crying out for is attack and goals. We need to give Ladapo a run over the next few games. He certainly can't do worse than Benteke.......) goals.

There has to be something fundamentally wrong at the club too many managers too quickly, good managers running out the door though some not too honestly,ive lots of time for sp but it don't add up, it ain't right, and if Roy can do it any differently I will be surprised Add a forward add a defender add a play maker none will take too long to see it ain't just Wayne, puncheons or bentekes fault slate them all u like but it's a bigger problem than them. Love to know what really is happening on second thoughts sometimes best to be a mushroom

Originally posted by Croydonlad Now after 6 games the reality of our season is slowly sinking in It seems that my calling of FDB sacking after the Huddersfield game wasn't so " stupid " and " idiotic " as it was claimed at the time Make no mistake Any other system with the squad we had and we would have got at least 5 points from those opening 4 games By not playing it simple , we lost the lot , ruined confidence and now barring a miracle we are down I think Parish employing someone, asking them to change the way we play, giving them zero support in the transfer market and then sacking him after 4 games without giving any chance for changes to work could be described as stupid and idiotic yes. Who knows how many points we'd have now if FDB were still in charge. One things for 100% certain. We wouldn't have any less!

Make no mistake
Any other system with the squad we had and we would have got at least 5 points from those opening 4 games
By not playing it simple , we lost the lot , ruined confidence and now barring a miracle we are down

Originally posted by Painter Factually incorrect. Edited by Painter (26 Sep 2017 8.05pm) Er no it isn't. Reidewald was recommended by de Boer but supposed to be a squad player. Everyone else signed were on the clubs target list BEFORE de Boer arrived including Foss Mensah so how much support would YOU say Parish gave de Boer? I would say zero. If you are one of those 'the chairman can do no wrong' fans I guess you'll attempt to put some bulls hit spin on it

For it to work it would've taken 3, possibly 2 windows. That's essentially where it went disastrously wrong. Either of them thinking our budget could achieve that from where we were was never likely to work. COYP

If you employ someone to SLOWLY bring about a change in style and they immediately go against this agreement. You think it's stupid for sacking them and not backing them with all the clubs money? Mistake made, and corrected. To say we should have backed him when you hear all the rumors of unrest and see how out of depth he had players playing.. Really? Seriously crucify Parish for giving him the job in the first place if you want, but to say he should then compound the mistake by backing him and keeping him in the post, when he's clearly gone rogue. Na, he had to go.. And i very much did want him to be a success, but he absolutely had to go.
