Injuries can be for many reasons and I expect it's again due to the system and Roy being so stubborn a lot of talk about rotation but he doesn't do this unless forced to. Have you even been watching Palace the so called counter attacking is terrible under Roy go back and watch Palace first season being promoted on wards when we countered it was with purpose and speed now its low risk and very slow. The other thing you cant keep playing the same way changes need to be done for when you go up against different teams we have seen this against teams we should be beating or minimum a draw yet they go and score 3 times against us Burnley game sums it up. We are not solid in defense anymore look at the goal difference is is poor and Roy can make all the excuses up he wants about this team put 7 past us or 5 past us that is still goals conceded and as mentioned above Burnley put 3 past us complete joke. At the end of the day for a team which has been in this league a long time now the football is unacceptable we have some quality players its not like we are using championship level players (even those seasons we used that level player it was some better football at time) Money has been spend so this excuse cant be used, the Americans who people like to keep blaming for everything negative (cant blame SP for anything he is a god) put in cash when that was not the role coming into this club SP even stated this on day 1 they was about improving training/ground etc not the playing squad.

So we have had our goolies handed to us a few times this season by the big teams, But Benteke actually can score and darn well at times. Ezre is awesome. Townsend still has it at times. Zaha we love you. Our keeper is as good as anyone. We beat Brighton. and I think we are staying up by the current looks of things. FA Cup and League next year? Really?? Have you not noticed how many times we’ve been totally outclassed since last June, well I’ve lost count myself. Even scraping a draw and winning against Fulham and Weed we were rubbish and we can’t keep up that sort of luck for ever. Love Roy for what he’s done, but him and a lot of the players are past their best with us and it’s showing big time. We may well end up with a decent haul of points this season, but it’s papering over the cracks as they say, things seriously need freshening up.

He chose this time and time again he states he has no interest in transfers so he must be presented with options and is declining them or as he sates he is happy will the full squad. More rubbish from you players get injured because they are not rotated every week its the same old names unless an injury happens even when we have had to play 2-3 games a week. We have a 25 man squad this doesnt include youth which he has no interest in even using again you just keep making excuses all team have injuries its part of sports. We have had players available in positions and he still refuses to select them heres a clear example center defense he keeps sticking kouyate in their when we have many options which are natural for that position Punch never was quick have you ever even watched palace play not sure you have and yes bolazie left so what doesnt stop quicker counter attacks again more excuses.

My entire time of supporting Palace, I have basically expected them to be pretty rubbish. That way, I get the odd nice surprise, like 1980 and 1990 for example. We're not total rubbish now, just pretty rubbish for the Premier League. And above Brighton. Overall it's slightly better than our usual yo-yo or Championship status.

Thing is we have become a rest home for journeymen footballers in the twilight years of their careers. They were once great players at the top of their game but have passed their peaks and , although still capable and occasionally excellent, are now slowing down. Too many are now seeing their time out at Palace where they can earn a good wage and no one expects too much. Eze was a great signing but we need half a dozen more if we are too refreshen the squad this summer. I hope Parish has a plan.

Secondly, you made no reference to any sell-on fees in your original post. You simply tried to convey that Sorloth 'cost' £20m. The fact is that he didn't - end of story.
