We don’t play as a team. Just a bunch of disjointed individuals who keep giving the ball away with poor touches and passes I think we’re buggered. Parish doesn’t appear to have any money. He made a bit in the 1990’s on IT agency staff but let’s face it, he’s no Rockefeller. The Yanks seem to have little appetite to spend and who can blame them when Freedman buys donkeys like Richards for £12m. . What a dumb arse purchase that was! Maybe it’s our time to go down. You gets what… in our case, you don’t pay for. We stand a chance if Parish summons the guts to sack PV and his useless side-kick Osian Roberts. Get someone in who at least can make our average players play like a team.

It is nice to dream but we are what we are a mid to lower league team who does not have the financial resources to achieve a higher league position. The performance today was ok and in line with what you would expect with the quality of players we have against a club with infinite resources. Until we have owners that can buy quality players at will I am afraid the narrative after every match we play win or lose is going to be the same. As it stands just enjoy supporting the team we have who is Crystal Palace and let’s not expect us to be be something we are not.COYP Energetic and creative you mean

Ah, your cynicism matches mine. I have wondered what the Americans seek from their investment.

Derry has failed as a manager in the lower leagues more than once so what makes you think he would be a success in the much tougher Premier League Well, we supposedly were very close to Lucien Favre a couple of years ago. As of last week, he is now unemployed.

We got the selection and formation wrong again today. We can’t play Eze and Olise away from home unless we are playing Bournemouth. Doucoure was excellent in midfield but he needs help. Schlup isn’t the answer and I suspect Hughes or Luka aren’t either. Wilf needs to play wide left, Olise wide right and Edouard down the middle. So for Wednesday I would line up Keeper
