Well I'd probably do a better job at selection if not the other aspects: but then that is not my career. I'd definitely not have put Olise on and I suspect neither would 19 Premier League managers

Here is your exact quote "The focus now needs to be on how we set up to get results without Olise and Eze.". You seem to have a very short memory

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Would seem the case SNH.

I’m of the hysterical nature now to scream ‘anyone else’ but just what that would bring, gawd knows.

The worst thing about this report (if true) is it's use of past tense i.e the club 'considered sacking Hodgson in the wake of the Brighton defeat.'
If that's case it should be present tense as the run of terrible form and performances are not a recent phenomenon.
Surely the club would have been sounding alternatives post Bournemouth?
If not, the club has taken it's eye off the ball.
To keep Hodgson if you're unhappy with him, merely because you can't attract/think of an alternative would be bizarre.

I joked with a mate at half time that Roy would probably bring Olise on. Absolute madness.

At 3-0 down the game is gone. Keep it tight and take you medicine. I know its a derby but losing Olise for any time is relegation time.

I watched the Arsenal/Liverpool game earlier. Some fiery, fast, attacking play, quality pressing and an obvious enthusiasm from both sides to fight for their team.

As much as I enjoyed it, I much prefer watching Palace although our play is the complete antithesis of what I describe above. That's because Palace is my team, always has been, always will be, regardless of who's manager and who's playing.

Too many negative vibes on here which is playing into the hands of our rivals and their supporters as we witnessed at Brighton.

Forget trying to influence the way things are at our club and get behind them. They need our support now more than ever, not this constant griping.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
