Roy's response to the banners & fans discontent. . . [Link]

"You look at it from our perspective and ask, what more can we do?"

If ever a quote summed someone up. He plays the same team with the same tactics literally every week and doesn't think he can do anymore.

 


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

The last sentence is rather telling. I reckon he fully expects to be sacked.

I suspect that Mr Hodgson will have the opportunity to view more banners at the Sheff Utd game.

Is that a wish or a prediction?

Two of the five goals conceded came in the dying minutes and within a minute of each other. It just shows that we were still conceding late goals and what has Roy done about it ?

Blamed the youngsters.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

He has asked for reinforcements so he can sub experienced players with players of similar standard not Juniors .
He did ask in the summer without any success so I don't suppose he will have much better luck in the next 11 days

The Yorkshire Eagle Flag Great Ouseburn, N Yorkshire 20 Jan 24 5.16pm Send a Private Message to The Yorkshire Eagle Add The Yorkshire Eagle as a friend

The commentators on Talk Sport said one of their producers a Palace fan, had messaged from the office saying "we were hopeless in defence, toothless in attack and looked like a Sunday league pub side".
I was listening with a 'gooner'pal, who sadly is in a care home having suffered a stroke last year. It cheered him up enormously, but I was so depressed (if not in the least bit surprised), that I was tempted to ask if they had a spare bed!
I'm not sure whether the outcome would have been any different with a full strength team as we seem to have lost the ability to defend at all. Playing a high line when 3-0 down made no sense and, I've said on here before that I am mystified how Guehi is considered an England player when he cannot defend corners or win headers..as with Anderson.
To my mind Roy is culpable, as he himself said post match. His decision to keep Olise on until the 89 min when 3-1 up v Brentford may not have caused, but certainly exacerbated his injury. He then says he took Eze off at Everton "to protect him".

I am respectful of Roy, but time is up I'm afraid, regardless of the circumstances and our survival chances, which with luck are still reasonable, but why wait? My guess is he may well make the decision for SP and say I'm done.
