Anyone think he deserves a place in the first team let along captaincy?

Doesn't deserve a place on the bench let alone team.

Puncheon has to be dropped from first team for us to have any hope this season.He has been in awful form for about a year. I cant remember the last time he has struck a shot on target, I have seen milk turn quicker. Breaks my heart when I see his name on the team sheet.

I honestly think FDB is just biding his time till he drops him. New Managers dont like to come in and drop the club captain straight away.

Loftus-Cheek seems to better him in every department. When Cabaye is fit, I don't think you can justify squeezing Punch into the line-up ahead of Cabaye, RLC and Luka.

Mate, I'm Palace through and through. Doesn't make me a starter. The opinion of most is that he's not the player he used to be and there are others who should be ahead of him in the pecking order.

I too love him as a local lad and a trier but that unfortunately is not enough.

I love Puncheon but he never wants to go forward, we're really missing that, someone who can drive down the middle or at least try and create something.

Was refreshing to see Loftus Cheek doing that in the second half last week, Punch and Cabeye to be fair don't seem bothered about venturing forward or just seem to lack ideas once they get past half way. (and disappointingly Van Aanholt 90% of the time)

Great guy but needs competition at least.
