How can your point about Hodgson and crowds at Selhurst have any meaning when it is an event that hasn’t happened yet? You are professing to know an outcome to a future event. You haven’t got the lottery numbers have you?

Originally posted by AERO One thing for certain, If the crowds were allowed to attend games over the last few months, Roy would have been gone by now . Really? How on earth can you KNOW that? If crowds had been there, all the games would probably have been different because of the crowd effect - think how many away wins there have been!

Would there really be that bad a reaction at SP to all of this? I'm very much dissatisfied with what I have been seeing and am not shy at games but I would not be inclined to give too much grief to Roy or the players, especially whilst we're still not technically safe. I would have thought (only my opinion) it would be more murmurs and grunts as opposed to fully fledged vitriol, the type that would influence the higher ups. Last time I can really recall any ferocity from the crowd at Selhurst was when we were 4-0 down to Sunderland. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

My understanding was that the comments suggested that had there been crowds at Selhurst Park, the antipathy of the crowd would have swayed the 'Board' to make a decision and my response was to the contrary.

Originally posted by EddieMac Roy has many flaws but over the balance of his tenure he has kept us in the league with his tactics. We now have the biggest injury list in the division and if you all remember just after Xmas last year we had a worse injury crisis and this has been the case over the last few years but we always managed to pick up enough points. Our defence last night basically picked itself so I'm not sure what else he could have done with the back 4. As far as I am concerned not 1 of that back 4 is good enough to be playing regulary. We had 3 fit centre midfield players last night and I dont think it would have mattered which 2 he started. I like most am bored with the football and Eze is the only player keeping me sane at the moment but Roy will not be leaving before the end of the season and a lot of you will need to brace yourselves because there is every chance he will still be here next season. I would like him to go at the end of the year but only if it is for someone better. Our squad is in dire straits and if the wrong person comes in with no financial backing then we will be relegated. This is exactly the way I feel so thanks for putting it so succinctly. Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth.

To those who argue Hodgson is getting the maximum of the players at his disposal, would a Brendan Rodgers employ similar tactics with those same players? I doubt he would be lining up 442 with Eze and PVA in wide positions in midfield. He would not be lining up with two central midfield players in the majority of games allowing us to be continually overrun. He would be more likely to involve Eze in a Maddison type inside forward role where he could cause maximum disruption to the opposition.He’s unlikely to ask Eze to turn into Townsend. I doubt Rodgers would persist with one paced Luka at the base of his midfield when he has the more mobile Mcarthy, Mcarthur or Kouyate as options. Some of our better performances have coincided with Luka’s absence. I also doubt Rodgers would leave our strikers , whomever they may be, as isolated and starved of service as Hodgson.
