Palace entertain me ,just because they are Palace. Not always pretty, not always satisfying in the sense of comparison to the style of the mega clubs of Europe .
That’s not to say they never disappoint, but the biggest disappointment is when they lose. There is no way I would get more entertainment watching them beaten week after week because entertaining me was their prime mover. Winning and maintaining our status has to be the first and foremost requirement. If I only wanted entertainment fit for a purest, I would only have few , choices , and with all due respect to the dear old club I love they have yet to be one of those.

We aren't comparing ourselves to Sheffield Utd, Luton and Burnley. I want to look up the table and be a top 10 team.
I just simply don't believe any fan on here could enjoy today. FYI I was at the game, and we only didn't concede because Burnley aren't good enough. When we play the top teams, we get found out. Today they dominated us, Roy said so himself. He knows we have a limited squad and has to play limited football.
Today Burnley basically had all the ball and we say back and said go on then. That's not how we should be playing against a bottom 3 side.
Talk of Vieira (and De Boer) shows we've had our hands burnt previously with the 'progressive young manager' I mentioned earlier. Well how come Brighton found one no one even knew of?
Comes down to poor scouting, and a chairman who loves us but doesn't have the money to take us to the next level. Worse is, we have two other investors who are minted but aren't interested.
Despite all this, for now we are top 10. We are doing fine and wont get relegated this season. So i feel we need to take this opportunity to look ahead and plan for next season. Roy won't be here, so we need to change tack. Let's go for that attack minded manager, select the right person, and crucially, back him.
Nome of this is against Roy who has done fantastically since rejoining. I just don't feel like we can continue like this after this season.

Not sure i 100% agree. After over 10 years in the Prem should we not be aiming for a little more.

Games are often decided on fine margins. If Forest had scored when the lob came off the post it would have been a very different game. Similarly, if the shot from the cut back on Saturday was on target rather than rolling across the face of our goal, the last 20 minutes would have been very different.

The point is if you set up just to defend then this strategy will fail if there is an early goal - as per Newcastle a few weeks ago.
Under say Pulis in year 1 it was 100% correct to get the most out of limited resources, today i am less sure.

For those who say we don't have the money etc and players are injured, there are limits to this argument. Over the summer we spent c£40m on a goalkeeper and a 19 year old Brazilian. Both may be excellent long term purchases but neither will feature much this season.
Additionally, for our size we have one of the highest wage bills. This is clearly limiting our transfer spend. Reserve players such as Tomkins and Jairo are on over £50k yet rarely kick a ball. This is obscene. We now have a reserve goalie on £100k and already other agents are asking for pay rises for their players.

In terms of injuries Olise was injured in the summer so we knew we didn't have him for a min of 3 months and we've known Zaha was leaving for over 2 years.
We haven't used either of our loans, which would have been a cost effective short term option.

When you compare us with say Brentford, who clearly don't have our resources, they are above us despite managing without their best player, Toney. They've also lost their goalie on the eve of the season, yet didn't panic.

It just appears we don't really have a strategy and so a big injury or the odd transfer out shows how limited our squad is. Jan is African cup too so we could lose 3 players for 6 or so weeks.
