Must have been bad if it was worse than the end of Peter Taylors days in charge, with Hefty Kuqi and James Slowcroft up front...

I will start my 50th Season watching Palace this September, and that first half performance yesterday was up there when we had the likes of Trevor Aylott, Tommy Langley, Calvin Andrew and the like.
The second half was an improvement and on reflection we could have won it.

I do not like booing and have never done so in all my time supporting Palace. It does nothing for the players morale and are you really true supporters when you boo your own team. My 16 year old boy was with me and was very disappointed with some of our supporters attitude. I sit in the family section main stand, and Delaney was clearly indicating that he didn't agree with the booing.

What we all fail to realise is that Pardew has left us in deep S..t. The team as a whole has not been consistent. Pardew's tactics and player selection has been dreadful.

We also have to look at the backroom staff, to me they are also part of the problem. Its no good saying Millin is a nice bloke, for me he is not a number 2 and an average coach. Woodman as a goalkeeping coach looks as though he is being sponsored by Pukka Pies. he was a very average lower division goalkeeper.

Big Sam needs to get his own people in.

There has only been 2 full training sessions due to matches.

Puncheon has been at best, average for the past 9 months. He is not good enough and goes missing in games.
Kelly and Ward are not doing it.

The bench is not strong enough.
I would be playing Flamini.

We are missing one of our best players in Macarthur.

What we need is 2 full backs, priority for a left back. Another centre half. 1, possibly 2 midfielders, one in the Matic mould.

And possibly a forward, although I hear Remy may be back.

As for the Booing, thats not on. I know we are all entitled to our Opinions but to boo in my Opinion shows a lack of knowledge.

I think we really should sell Cabaye if we can get any money for him , even if we can't get as much as we paid for him at least it would get him off the wage bill and allow us to get someone in who may have a positive impact on the team.
We have won four games this season , he did not play in 3 of them , and in in the other we were 2-1 down then he went off and we won 3-2.
Bear this in mind people that thought Pardew was doing a good job as he probably would have played Cabaye in those three games we won without him.if he was available.

I do not think he is good for the team spirit either.
He wasn't helped by Pardew also announcing that he was worth the 80k a week and anyone else wanting that would have to play like him . Then when the other players see a petulant whinger who is an ordinary player it must rankle with them.
Remember our best finish of 10th achieved with the McJedly midfield , then they get this guy who spends most of his time trying to get fouls and staying on the floor whinging when he does not get them instead of getting up and getting on with the job.
He also cannot even foul properly , he gets most of yellows in stupid non important area's of the pitch because he has become frustrated. He does not seem to understand the concept of 'taking on for the team' and hitting people hard when they look threatening and at vital times , like Pogba before he set up the winner for Man U just before end of game , or maybe hassled and snap at Hazard before he instigated the winner for Chelsea just before H/T.
Even when people say he played well it only seems to be for one half or a period of the game , not 90 mins.

Unless Sam thinks he can find a way to get him to play for Palace like the international player he is supposed to be be then it would be best for him to go.

Very well said Buzzby. Personally i would consider selling Townsend, Puncheon and Benteke (£40 million from China is too much to turn down) and use the funds to purchase another striker, left back, centre back and, if there's anything left, a defensive midfielder.
