There’s a poll on the other forum as to whether Roy should stay or go. That's natural.

With the same players Roy has. Cabaye. And the rest of them were mostly a few years younger. And he had Sakho relatively fit for a good run. And he didn't do materially better than Roy, playing some dross football in among the memorable moments. The bottom line is Allardyce needed 30 mill spending and got it. Roy needs that and didn't.

I fully understand how frustrating it is watching a game that quite clearly needs an injection of something from the bench but no I don't think that there is many other options than the team Roy is picking right now. Only argument I would have is for Townsend to start in front of Ayew but then I also understand that Townsend is the only explosive substitution we have available to us right now. Tosun and Benteke haven't both been available for selection at the same time yet so we don't know what will happen there. And do you honestly think that our season will depend upon Pierrick and Meyer? Meyer is a good player, just maybe hasn't adjusted too well and Pierrick is way short of Premier League quality yet. At the end of the day, Roy see's these players in training day in, day out, he see's the attitude from every single player and then makes an informed decision from the vast footballing knowledge and experience he has to make the best team for each game. It's ludicrous for any of us to assume we know more about football and the current Palace team then him. Agree 100%

At what cost? If we went down in April, which as stats show, is a Real possibility, what do we have to show for it?
This was once a quality forum.... |

For the purposes of clarification 151 think Hodgson should go in the summer with 59 thinking he should go now. Not true. It's very roughly that proportion that think he should go now (although I doubt the absolute numbers are that high), but far, far more just said "no". Which does not mean they think he should go in the summer.

Roy inherited all those players so had a much better squad to start from (with a much higher wage bill) He also had Reidewald, Camarasa, Mayer, and TFM who he simply refused to play.

A couple of years ago a mate introduced me to one of his friends who just happens to be one of Parish’s best mates. He rarely talks about what’s going on behind the scenes at Palace , but I did get a flavour for just how difficult it is to run CPFC. And that in turn softened my sentiments somewhat. However one thing that has been brought to SP’s attention by his friends is his constant appoint of former players into roles that they aren’t necessarily qualified for. When all is said and done, Parish can point to stating in the Premier League as a major success. But the day that bubble bursts , and it’s coming, how the club recovers from that is a real concern
