Does anyone on here know what the content of those conversations are. Unless you do, it may well be that Derry is recommending one or two, or more and Roy is choosing not to bother. You can’t defend managers decisions with facts you don’t know.

I agree that unless you are Chelsea or similar you are unlikely to pull more than 2 of 3 out the hat, but I find that to currently have an U23 side with no-one capable of being tried out even in cups and meaningless matches (like end of last season) to be a damning indictment of either our system or our manager.

But you (and I, and everyone else) already know that our youth team hasn't been very strong compared to the required standard, and that for years we stood next to no chance of getting the best kids in the highly competitive world of professional youth football.

Parish has spoken openly about this for ages. That's why getting category one status recently was such a big deal, as was the planning permission for the new facilities.

Only now have Palace moved into the premier league youth team structure, and even then we are in the second division at present.

This is not just commonly known, it is positively advertised by the club. Yet somehow the finger of blame might still point at Hodgson in some folks eyes?

I keep hearing from people connected with the game that we will NOT be relegated because Roy Hodgson is the manager.
He is certainly held in high esteem, probably more so than by our supporters!

Unless those connected people are Refs, who have been receiving the contents of RH's Pension, No-one can say he will NOT be relegated with any certainty.

Read my post again.

I did not defend Roy at all - I said it's his decision whether or not to act on recommendations made to him. That's part of his job. I fully expect Derry to be recommending players that he believes are worthy of consideration. I'm not claiming to be privy to those conversations, but in my experience that's how it works. Draw your own conclusions...either the players aren't good enough and not being put forward, or they are and Hodgson doesn't fancy them.

As for using U23 players in cup competitions, that was tried at Bournemouth this season and I wasn't impressed with what I saw on that occasion. And while there is financial reward for finishing places, young players don't get the opportunities like they sed to at the end of the season, although results last season suggest they couldn't have done any worse.

The upgrade to Cat 1 status has brought about an influx of better younger players and this is reflected in performances in the respective leagues.

The U23s (bottom last season in a league comprising mainly Championship and League 1 clubs) currently sit 4th in a league of 13 clubs most of which are in the PL. However, that league is incredibly tight with the 13th club just 3 points below us.

The U18s are also 4th but just 2 points behind the leaders. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Southampton, Leicester (and the Weed) are below us.

As for Roy Hodgson, he seemed to make it clear in yesterday's press conference that he wants to go on managing for a long time yet, so, if Parish offers him another 1 year extension, expect Hodgson to take it.

I do get the impression that if Parish offers Hodgson an extension and he agrees to continue there could well be a degree of disappointment amongst our supporters,particularly if we just manage to 'Limp' over the line and survive on the back of some torrid performances.

Well Doombear - if he stays next season as well then I will not be visiting Selhurst Park.
I may well still buy my season ticket but i won't use it whilst he is our Manager.
I am bored witless with the way that we play under him.

Going to football used to be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Even with a season ticket it now costs around £50 to £100 per game with travel and booze.

It's not worth it to see 11 men told to sit behind the ball no matter who we are playing.

I hate to say it, but the performances don't merit the level of the support the fans give them.

It is a tough watch most of the time.

I miss going to the games as it's as much of a family and social occasion as anything else.

Why I even get a beer off of Mezzer sometimes...

I cant believe he wants to stay on another year. He is like Croydon's very own version of Donald Trump.

We need to seriously overhaul the aging squad this Summer, not sure giving money to the Roy is the best way of investing in the squad given his career record in the transfer market. Just look at the money wasted on transfers when he had it at Liverpool.

Please go before the stadium reopens to fans. I dont think I could bear watching any more Royball once we are allowed back in the ground.

I concur with these sentiments.
Supporters have not had a great deal to cheer about at 'Selhurst Park'.
In our last 4 seasons we have only recorded 24 home wins, covering 76 matches.
