In my very humble opinion, Delaney has done nothing to suggest that he should be immediately displaced by Tomkins. Delaney is a warrior, wears his heart on his sleeve and someone you would want alongside you in the trenches.He has done far better than anyone expected of him in the PL, he might have even surprised himself ! That said he is now 35 and in the'Twilight' of his carrer and reaching the stage where the rigours of the PL might well catch up with him in the near future.

I've made no secret of my love for Delaney but the long diagonal ball is starting to get me down

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

Problem I see, is that once Tomkins takes over, and of course he will that's why he's been bought. We don't spend that kinda money yet on a backup. So once Tomkins does take over Damo is going to find it incredibly hard IMO to stay sharp and match fit. Maybe wrong but I worry for his future performances when he steps in for the odd game / minutes. Hopefully cup games will help and as such I think it's crucial he's picked in cup games. That being said the guys a legend and has given us everything, always. Obviously you don't know how certain players will get on as coaches, but I suspect he'd have a lot to offer to the development squad in some capacity even if it's not as a coach. Most of all I hope he enjoys the rest of the time he us with us, must be hard when you can see the end is near.
