Who said you are all stupid?

The team is playing as well as it can, given who is available. If you think just playing some of the promising youngsters would improve things, I don’t. It could do great damage to their confidence.

A change could be made. I don’t rule it out, but it would be done very reluctantly and only after some long hard thinking and with a replacement lined up.

When the teamsheet went up for Arsenal, that should have been the defining moment for replacing Roy. Definition of insanity confirmed and not surprisingly we were completely outclassed both on the pitch and in the dugout.

Just having watched Sheffield United play today, they were fighting for a win and under Roy we will be defeated before the whistle even blows and so his departure will be done.

The game plan for the season of installing Roy, thereby minimising
squad improvement in the summer in the obviously weak positions and
nothing substantive this month leaves only one option left.

You could say in hindsight it was all so predictable, but even if it was just a mere probability, it seems today there is no plan B - so no wonder the Homesdale Fanatics have lost patience - as have many of us.

Its not rocket science; I don't know the finer points of the internal club dynamics, but to the outsider it has "Amateur Hour" written all over it!

Thanks. I am sure there are many things we would agree on. Like there was an obvious foul for the first goal yesterday.m

And in 5 years we will still be in the PL, fighting for a place in Europe, enjoying good cup runs and all of this will be forgotten.

Or we will be in the Championship trying to build a team of youngsters ready to be the “team of the 30s”.

Both would be fun.

I don't agree with much of your post. There is one virtue greater than loyalty and that's integrity. And Roy should show some and resign after all these turgid, unimaginative performances that would only be acceptable if we were winning. The life is being sucked out of our club.

Not asking you to agree with me..!!

But Roy is stubborn - always has been going back to his England days - you only need to look at his response after being sacked following the Iceland debacle to see that - his response I’m no longer England Manager so why do I need to face the press..!!

Recently he’s become even more stubborn - bordering on arrogant - he’s press conferences and post match comments becoming more nonsensical - some bordering on the bizarre and the unfathomable..!!

So according to your philosophy Hughes and Schlupp have the right to play because they are “experienced professionals” - so using/applying the same philosophy Tomkins should play ahead of Guehi because he is more experienced - is that honestly what you are saying/suggesting..!!??

If so my question is are you Roy..??

All this “experienced professional” thing is a nonsense - if you’re good enough you’re old enough - Jude Bellingham is 20 years of age - main man for Real Madrid and arguably the best midfielder in the world..!!

If he were at Palace playing under your suggested philosophy under Roy he’d probably still be playing for the u21’s..!!

The frustration is there is clear and obvious talent and potential being overlooked and held back by Roy - precisely for the reason you have stated - because so called more “experienced professionals” are being selected week in and week out - despite how poorly they perform and the subsequent/associated results..!!

That’s why you are wrong and that’s why Roy has got to go..!!
