I'm talking about finding a manager that will bring a winning home mentality to the team, one who has the ability to see that when things aren't working, he has the balls to make changes, and to progress this team higher than it currently is. RH has none of these attributes. Lower level defensive mediocrity, and it can only get worse, as he is a stubborn one trick pony. I would love him to prove me wrong, but home games this season seem to prove me right. What was defensive about our tactics today?

I don't like to come on here after a loss and moan. But PVA had one of the worst performances I've seen in a Palace shirt. Not being able to pass to a team mate is poor for a prem standard player.

We've literally just come off the back of 2 away wins on the bounce, winning 4-1 & 3-1. We're 13th in the league and have safety within our reach. I don't particularly think Roy is revolutionary or gonna take us to the next level. Nor do I think Palace & our fans are really prepared to do what it takes to go up a level. But he's a gentleman, a safe pair of hands & working on a budget of sweet f*** all. I feel for Roy, because it's clear that the reason Parish likes him is because he knows he can effectively use him & he'll put up with the circus behind the scenes. Calling for his head is just nonsense, IMO.
Fair points, but you still have to question why he seems to stick to the same starting line ups and formation in our home matches when we have clearly struggled all season in all matches, particularly early on ? Is he scared of freshening it up ? Does he think our away form will suffer if some players only play every 2 weeks ? Why the inflexibility ?

Sadly back to same old same old this week

PVA is a bad defender. Sunderland fans can tell you that. He is lightweight, he has no strength in the tackle. He was indecisive and let their player come inside and score the winner today. A stronger and better defender would not allow that goal. You might think you could console yourself by saying, “well at least he is an attacking force”. Well, he is not, and has not been all season. He causes moves to break down constantly with bad passes, wayward flicks and misplaced touches. He seems completely out of synch with Zaha whereas AWB and Andros find each other with ease. He is dogsh*t this year and has cost us goals and points on many occasions. Edited by Maine Eagle (09 Mar 2019 3.15pm)
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

We have the second worst home record in the league. I would like a manager who can make us competitive home and away, not a part time manager.

Just got back from the game. There was nothing special about Brighton today. We lost due to our poor tactics. Most of the time instead of moving the ball forward we tend to pass it sideways and back allowing time for the opposition to regroup. I hardly saw forward balls through the centre into the oppo danger area ?
