Coaching, watching them day in day out. Thinking about how Luton might play against us. Thinking we have weaknesses at FB and how to mitigate that (against Luton FFS). Analysing what went wrong against Everton. Fixing it. Having a plan B.

We have to be realistic, the current squad has circa 6/7 who you could say are EPL quality. The balance for the starting 11 has to be picked from a bunch of players who are at best championship quality, younger player who have no experience in the lower league, or sick notes. If your core 6/7 get injured then your in even deeper brown stuff. Roy's hands are really limited because of poor transfer activity, Parish and his fellow directors are the problem they want to be in the EPL but they just do not want to spend the cash to do it and if the do spend, then, they make bad transfer decisions by signing players we don't need. This may well end badly!

1. Wrong. In fact he would be a lot wealthier had he not sold his stake in GAC.

2. What do you define as '' world level '' then ? Are the Brentford and Brighton owners that ??

Then your other comments ;

Look at the players Roy was forced to put in before because he had no other option and they put in performances Mitchell was one of them so was a right back we received 50m for from United remember him.

Roy has one way of doing things this is the issue and why we always struggle against teams we should either be beating or drawing with.

1. I stand by what I said. Hodgson isn't being forced to play Richards at right back while Ward and Clyne are available. So you have to assume that he doesn't rate him in that position.

2. Riedewald - good technique but too one paced. I don't see him as worthy of a left back position.

3. I'm not jumping on any negative Edouard bandwagon given that my view of him hasn't changed in the last 18 months. Agreed his goal return this season looks impressive. When he doesn't score, he contributes virtually nothing. It's going back a bit, but you may remember a player called Ian Rush who scored goals for fun but was also described as Liverpool's first line of defence. Edouard was described as '' timid '' in a write in The Times and that sums him up.

4. We all know that Roy has his methods. Like them or not, they get the results he needs to achieve his objectives.

1. complete nonsense you really need to do your home work. (Simon Jordan has more wealth when compared to Steve Parish who couldn't even afford to buy Palace himself this is when the club was not even worth hardly anything later on had to bring Americans in because again he couldn't fund it)

As I said he has made his most wealth from Palace which is true.

2. you are being stupid now commercial wise what has he done for the palace brand on a world scale nothing they do not even have distribution of merchandise.

How can you rate people without giving them game time.

I never said he should put Richards are right back.

You have missed the point about Riedewald he was a different player back then and Roy wanted him to change which he has now he is useless (You are being very selective with what you are seeing remove rose tinted specs)

Yes you are you said Ed was useless etc yet as i clearly showed how is 5 goals in 12 useless return for a team which creates very little and the season before people praised Wilf yet if you work out minutes to goals he was better again people moaning about him.

You clearly do not even watch the games.

Roy gets results how about these results lost to Everton and now Luton yes great results.

It seems I was watching a different game. I thought we were unlucky. We lost 2 key players at almost the same time, yet still maintained our ascendancy. We had a good goal ruled out for an unlucky handball, scored a wonderful equaliser but made a defensive error to concede again.

The pressure at the end so nearly yielded results. The only reason it didn’t was luck.

Luton didn’t beat us. They are a poor side. Luck beat us. Play that another 10 times and we would win most of them.

That’s football.

Olise was outstanding.
