How many other clubs, that have been in administration twice in the last 25 years and are in our position of 10 years in the Premier.

Didn't take long...😄 I agree it's how you do things but as a counter to what you say the model upon which the club is run now is light years away from the model of one rich but often flawed owner/supporter which led twice to hearts ruling heads and administrators being appointed. Some of this issue does lie at the feet of the owners as they run the place.

I think we all feel sorry for Doucoure not being given any support in centre of park. Schlupp, PV’s favourite just seems to run up and down with little composure or reading of the game. It beggars belief that Hughes is not given a chance to start next to Doucoure but I’m sick of saying it. We also need an owner who will invest some money in the team. I could be wrong but Parish doesn’t seem to have much non club related money and our US friends seem distracted with buying other clubs rather than making one good/great.

Have always liked Hughes and don't see why he has not beed given more of a shout. Can't remember him letting us down when he has come on. We miss Jimmy Mac more than I think some people see as he was a leader and reads a game far better than most at the club.

I understand the clamour for the inclusion of Hughes but when I look at the player I see someone who doesn't have that burst of pace, is a tad one-paced and his overall mobility is called into question. I do however recognise his technical and passing abilities. Edited by Willo (06 Jan 2023 9.45am)

Tomorrow Hughes will play and everyone will see why he doesn't play as often as people think he should!

Ok but if Hughes does start let’s be fair and judge him on any improved cohesion and structure he brings to the team hopefully giving us better solidity in midfield and also allowing our flair players like Olise, Zaha and Eze to get more attacking opportunities. I also think he’d provide a better outlet or bridge for our defenders to find which has been shaky in the last few games leading to lost possession or Anderson hoofing it long as the only viable option. Let’s see. Edited by NE14T (06 Jan 2023 10.44am) Edited by NE14T (06 Jan 2023 10.49am) Edited by NE14T (06 Jan 2023 11.04am)

PV is only half way through his second season as a Premier League manager. In the time he has been at Palace he has ; Overseen a radical change in playing style Yes, he’s made mistakes. And of course his team selections and tactics are challenged by supporters who think they know better. That’s the same at every club. I’ve been disappointed with some of his decisions of late, but overall I think he’s doing a good job given the constraints under which he works. He needs our support now more than ever because we have a tough few weeks ahead.

Luka playing will not be a disaster at all.
