Let's see what the transfer window brings.

I agree no need for panic

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I agree with the 'no need to panic' on a cognitive and rational level however that does not align with my emotional and natural reaction to all things Palace related. So whilst a solid sentiment I can acknowledge, it is of no relevance to me.

I like to panic and moan as I do on here but in all honestly I feel as though I will be holding my breath for a while. A true litmus test is coming in not just the tough run but the games following to see whether the absolutely evidence based panic needs to set in.

For now, I will hope everything pans out OK and stick with the irrational, hysterical panic I am very accustom to.

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

Excellent post Vectis and I thank you for the reassurance in my albeit slender grip on sanity (bold).

As a Palace supporter I think it's a bit early to panic given we're 7 points clear of relegation with a game in hand. Having said that, the lack of strength of our bench (even without many injuries) points to a tough second half of the season if we don't strengthen. Vieira also seems to be getting more vocal in communicating his desire for reinforcements, which is understandable.

As normal your post is massively wide of the mark. In terms of qualifications he holds more coaching badges than most and he was widely acclaimed for his ability to turn around Wales fortunes.

As a matter of interest what exactly is your knowledge base when it comes to the man. Do you know him, have you worked with him? What has his fitness got to do with being a coach? Benitez, Allardyce, there are many who were interested more in coaching than what they eat in a restaurant. So what is your point exactly, or is this just your idea of a crap joke?
