I agree things are not good at the moment but I also think there is a great deal of over-reaction on this site. Yes we are all devoted Palace fans and we all want to see our team moving on and further consolidating our position in the Premier League, ideally in the top ten. I don't think there's any likelihood we'll be relegated this year, as there are far worse teams than us. We have 15 points and that's after having one of the worst injury records in the league. Yesterday was another example of the bad luck we've suffered this season with two injuries to key players within 5 minutes of each other and I don'agree with some that Hodgson is the problem. Things will get better and we will survive. However, I do agree that we need some serious investment in some replacements and reinforcements, particularly with both full backs and a striker, so I hope we will see some significant spending in January and/or the summer.

Doucoure and Lerma really aren’t bang average, this is a rather bizarre post imo

We conceded 5 goals against Everton and Luton without Doucoure, his contribution to our team is grossly underestimated.
What I find bizarre is, he had been recovering from injury and not deemed fit enough to start against Everton but he flew off to Africa and played a game. Why did he not start against Everton?

In general I believe any optimism amongst our supporters has drained away like soap suds in a bath.

I share your concerns about our prospects, I smell the ether of decay and my brow is corrugated with worry.

Yep, a likelihood, and even having the benefit of hindsight doesn't make it any more acceptable. Then again, we've had our time and not really made any improvement over the years, so if going forward isn't a possibility, then it's either standing still or going backward. We've spent to stand still and when our top players leave that will be it. I think it's called entropy - survival and improvement in the PL needs continual investment, preferably in the correct areas.

Look at the players Roy was forced to put in before because he had no other option and they put in performances Mitchell was one of them so was a right back we received 50m for from United remember him.

Riedewald as well when had a chance left back looked very good even won player of month straight away dumped.

I see you are another jumping on the negative Edouard bandwagon yet what is his return rate this season so far for goals 5 goals out of 12 appa how is that poor for a team which is not great at creating plus if you work it out based on current rate he would hit 14 goals come end of the season that is a good return.

Roy has one way of doing things this is the issue and why we always struggle against teams we should either be beating or drawing with.

If this billionaire came in SP would be gone.

SP found two people who had no interest in spending this was from his own mouth go and find the video he was forced into it because he had very little wealth most of his money has been made at Palace.

SP is a small minded business man who has not moved Palace on because it's too large for him to do so he is national level not world level which is what you need.

Remember this is the same man who has built us a fancy stand o wait that still has started how many years has it been going on for now.

The other thing I dislike about him and this has come out from ex managers he is friends with players who do at times go direct to him that is not how you should run things these ex had even said they do not like this and other clubs do not do this it undermines managers.
