Players always work extra hard to impress a new manager, we need them to maintain it. For me the real under performers this season have been Townsend and Cabaye. Neither has lived up to their reputation. Especially Townsend, everytime Palace are mentioned in the media the pundits rave about him, I just don't see it.

Jack Charlton towered above Bobby Moore and I seem to remember Billy Bremner being a shortie. Conjunctivitis.com - A site for sore eyes.

Originally posted by DutchEagleJohan I for one am rather curious how BS will sort our defensive fragilities with Scott Dann out of form and lack of quality on the wing backs. Might be getting some defenders in in Jan. Pulis improved Ward Dann and Delaney no end by drilling them non stop. Since then they have lapsed back into old habits. Allardyce will instill that discipline back into them and not before time
