I think this and the previous post possibly sum up the feelings of many supporters.
As Palace fans we don’t expect to win every week, indeed the budgets of some clubs would make this impossible. Everyone knows teams have off days but it has been the manner of some of the defeats which has been disappointing. I know they are 3rd but I really thought Leicester were there for the taking and a display similar to last night would have earned us something. The same can be said for the Burnley game.

For the first time in a long time I was so despondent after the Leicester game that I realised I needed a game off.
The culmination of Zaha not looking bothered, Hodgson refusing to give it a go, not throwing the young and hungry Pierrick in, Brighton doing well, multiple players on absurdly high wages not performing and the final dagger of Sakho's cruyff turn had basically finished me off. I'd stopped caring about anything, would have given my TV away if someone asked for it.
Didn't watch last night, checked the result after and missed a Zaha wonderping, a Benteke goal and the type of performance I have personally been crying out for.
Now excited to watch again on Sunday, glad I've still got a tv.

Not sure what we can take from last nights game. Giroud's goal was fairly fortunate, but we looked dead and burried after half an hour. Chelsea seemed to swith off and Zaha hammered in a wonder goal. The whole team seemed to gain confidence from that. Chelsea again probably switched off when we scored our second. Can't really critise the manager for loosing to a better team, prehaps we should have thrown caution to the wind earlier, used all our subs and sought an equaliser. But then a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea doesn't look bad on paper as the experience of not watching the game shows. My critisms of Roy last night are pretty minor. Although, not seeing anything inspirational from him either.

Please for the love of god, do not stick everyone behind the ball against Villa when we have nothing left to play for.

why buy "Roy" players when hes only planning to be here one more season.. thats a expensive mistake for the next manager, plus as player being asked to join Palace, when he knows the manager will be going, why would he come except for the "bucks"...

I want to see the team playing to it's best ability... with passion and wanting it... ofcourse we allow an off day....
But that's all I want, heart and passion... I don't care about the result as over the course oft he seasons e are good enough for mid table and that's fine, but don't sit there with ya pants down waiting for the opposition to take turns.

This was once a quality forum....

Our 'Net spend' over the last 3 seasons has just been £8 Mill.
Compare that to Brighton over the same period - £190 Mill.
