I do think that HT at Swansea was a way for the fans to get some frustrations off their chest. It was a low point. In a way I felt better for it, and by the way so did the team by the looks of it as the second half performance was far, far better. I really believe that's out of our systems now, it's time to get behind the team and the manager.

Interesting to hear Parish say he's disappointed in his own performance and suggest the board got complacent. Praying this means big transfer backing this month.

I hope it's true about getting 'one' in before the wet spam game and then another two ? Curious ?

You have to remember it's not just transfer fees. Players will expect a decent contract and if it says your wages are cut if we are relegated they won't come anywhere near SE25....that's going to be the main problem...other than players not wanting a club that's fighting relegation.

Great interview as ever from SP. Always honest, and above all - like us, he feels the pain when things aren't going well. He deserves our trust. Since he has been here, he has barely put a foot wrong. Like he says, he's never felt pressure like he feels right now and as the best Chairman in my lifetime that we've had at the club by a country mile, he deserves all of our backing and support. We can sit here and feel sorry for ourselves. We have had terrible calls from referees, we have had terrible injuries but as SP says we all need to be focused on what we can all do to turn it around - by all, he means himself, players, fans - the whole CPFC family. I've been guilty with falling out with fellow supporters during this horrific run, and I'll never be an Allardyce fan, but he's here and we've all got to back him before it's to late. A break from it all this weekend is welcome relief, and the Bolton match shouldn't mean anything to us win, lose or draw. Effectively it's a training ground match to help with the preparation for the 18 huge matches just around the corner. I was pretty low after Swansea, but SP has done his job and I now feel confident that we can get out of this mess and continue to progress but it will only happen with 100% from everyone including the supporters. COME ON PALACE!! Edited by Stuart Shave (05 Jan 2017 1.32pm)

You'll be pleased to know that he had an indirect dig at you and your "Who Do We Keep For The Championship" thread saying how demoralizing he found threads like that - well done

Yup, as I said, was extremely low after the match. Will try and learn not to post immediately after a loss.

It might be a good idea if all those who rush to make negative comments follow that example. I would suggest everybody wait at least 24 hrs before posting if we have had a poor game like Swansea.

Thanks to Hambo and the Holmesdale Radio team for organising that. I was as miserable after the Swansea game as I've been for many years and Steve Parish's realistic but positive outlook was a tonic. It also reminded me just how lucky we are to have someone of his calibre looking after Palace. We've got 18 "cup finals" to secure our Prem status, so here's hoping the fight back starts with three points at The Hammers.

The main thing we have to and should take from the SP interview is the confidence and positivity factor. It has to come from everybody. Players, coaches, owners, staff, fans, everyone. Usually the call on forums to sing and not berate at matches is a bit meaningless because we always do give unconditional support. There is the odd shout or grown but never what happened at half time v Swansea. We seriously need to drop what happened at half time v Swansea. I understand the 12 months of gradual decay, a repeat of solvable errors during that time and a visual lack of fight over Christmas, and I am myself guilty for half time booing. And it's because of what SP said. It's because we have something precious to lose whereas before we never had it. That produces fear and creates the negativity in us and the confidence erosion in the players. What we saw looked like a lack of care but if it is pretty much confidence then they're going to need us and we're going to need to be behind them 100% or we may as well give up now, and I'm not willing to do that. Not for anyone starting 'We're down' or 'Who do we buy for the championship' threads. No one. The last time the support went a bit dead like this was admin and Paul Hart's mammoth task with only Calvin Andrew for how many weeks it was. At that time we gave excessive encouragement to chase down a goal kick or throw in when it looked like there wasn't any hope of making it. I can't think of an equivalent because at this level they should do that but you see my point. So that's it. Anyone intent on being a boo boy needs to be hushed, instantly. Every point could be crucial and that match they're booing could be one we drop more points we could've won. Anyone who doesn't like SA, fair enough. But keep your personal and pathetic banners at home or hidden up your self satisfied &rse. Our future is more important than your attention seeking. I honestly think the high point in many ways for our support was Preston at home towards the end of that season.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |
