Nothing new with Roys tactics tonight.

OMG what do we do now, we are a goal behind.....shock horror..

No leader on the pitch.

Survival football season...

Hurry up....

Try and get Eddie Howe now.
Whatever he might be be is way better than what we have at the moment.
The time has come - the Walrus said!

I'm not getting as carried away as I usually do after last night, in relation to Roy.

I do believe he should go, but when we have a clear candidate for someone to replace him, as I don't see the point of potentially putting ourselves in danger just because we are inconsistent.

Roy is capable of keeping us up and finishing between 9th and 16th as standard, but we should achieve more and be aiming for top 10 minimum each year now.

We were surprisingly good against Leeds which gave us cause for optimism.

One thing which flips it and I think is pretty damning, is when you look back at our last 5 results and performances.

Brighton 1-1 D : We were woeful and had 1 shot on target from a penalty.

Fulham 1-2 W : Beat a poor side in a uninspiring game, not too much to complain or be positive about.

Wolves 2-0 L : I honestly thought we were pretty dreadful for large parts and failed to make the keeper come into action. Good side are Wolves, so I won't moan too much.

Leeds 4-1 W : It may have been a different game, if not for the offside Bamford goal. However, I felt we dominated and put in a good PL team performance.

Burnley 1-0 L : Won't get much worse than what I saw last night, but there is always Friday with no Wilf. Bats and Ayew hopeless, with Townsend looking worse each week again. So poor all round, minus Eze in patches.

Looking back at these, it's not just getting beat but it is how we perform.

If we were to lose 3-1 and have a go with chance after chance, I think we'd take it differently.

Last night was always a game we were going to lose or draw at best, knowing the Wilf was out.

Newcastle on Friday, with both teams playing pretty poorly. Surely, that is the most clear and obvious 0-0 or 0-1 Palace match for years.

Eddie Howe was talking about what he'd do if he was Palace manager last night and not commenting much about Burnley. Perhaps putting himself forward?

Can't really blame Roy for last night. We need a midfielder who can take control of the ball and find a decent pass. Reidewald did well before being taken off. MacArthur is sadly now only a Championship player.

After taking the lead, Burnley did well. We seemed to repeatedly try and carry the ball out of our own half, that gave them time to drop back into a tight formation and crowd us out every time we got near the final 3rd.

Batshuayi had an awful game. Hopefully its just lacking a bit of match sharpness. Benteke might have been as we consistently failed to get the ball in the box.

It seemed strange the options on the bench were Sakho and Cahill. Why would you need both?

Kouyate isn't really a defender. He's not really a midfielder either. It's questionable if he's actually a footballer.

Clyne seems to have a quiet but competent performance.

PVA always seems to be a mix bag. His passing is woeful at times.

Ultimately, it's a game we should be winning and we were below par all round, but not bad enough to take the risk of replacing him. Story of Roy's career.

Depends now on the Newcastle and WBA games, win those and it can be argued that RH is keeping his part of the deal - 19 points from 11 played. Lose, and the games to follow suggest a tough Xmas and New Year.

Howe was stagnated at Bournemouth, hence the message a manager has to his players wanes.. look at Man City....

Now look at BMTH and their form, they came good at end of season, where was our Palace?

The same at Palace, team is stagnated under Roy....
