You are very correct.

Without repeating the post, I agree with Braunstoneagle. Tuesday was a bad night at the office that happens sometimes. It's not often that the majority of the team have an off night but that was one of them. If Tosun hadn't got over excited with his ' Hollywood ' finish, the game may have been different. I'm pretty sure Ings would have gobbled that opportunity up. Anyway, our strategy of getting knocked out of the Cup in the 3rd round could be about to pay dividends as the players get a rest.

I’m a fan of nearly 50 years standing and long for the day Hodgson is no longer manager.

Is it possible to both appreciate Roy for the fantastic job he’s done in the circumstance and hate the way we play? I agree with you re: playing style/tactics but I’d also argue that’s why Roy is in the job, I’d suggest we haven’t missed out on top attacking talent because Roy doesn’t want those type of players. Southampton was sh!t and I retain the right to moan about it but hopefully it’s just one of a few more ups and downs until the end of the season when we eventually finish relatively safe. Nothing will change until our financial situation does. If it is awful on the pitch now it will be just as bad if not worse in the Championship or league one I’d bet.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Been a fan since my dad took me when they were in the 4th division. In that time I don't think many teams have been promoted and relegated as much as Palace. In the good times you cheer, bad times you moan BUT you stay with them. I think the problem we have here is that we're split down the middle as to whether we're in a good or a bad time. We all want to stay in the EPL, but if the football we play to achieve this is so dire then you must expect complaints. I really hope we can get a full first team out soon and see how the tactics are then. The EPL is a brutal place. A cliche but no easy games.
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

No easy games, but some games easier than others. Setting up with the same team and tactics away to Man City and home to Southampton is a case in point. One is definitely easier than the other. I can see that, the bookies can see that.

I can see that, the bookies can see that. The set up and tactics are the same for every game, injuries or no injuries. How else to explain the lowest goals count and low possession percentage? Injuries or not, the emphasis is on defence, with 8 defence-minded players starting, whoever the opposition.

I’m not interested in Brighton and I’m not asking anybody to agree with me.

You either let Roy Hodgson's tactical setup and starting 11 wash over you like some kind of dull tepid tidal wave, guaranteeing premier league footy every season, or you long to see us have a bit of a go. Parish has made his choice and he likes the TV money and fame of being a Premier League chairman above all else, so its Roy or bust at the minute. Remember AWB - without a chronic injury crisis at right back he would still be plugging away in the reserves and going out on loan to s*** sides in league 2. AWB tells you all you need to know about Hodgson.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

The saints game was awful but I think there were quite a few contributing factors. All I'll say is the 7 seasons in the premier league have been a hell of a lot more enjoyable/ memorable than the 7 seasons which preceded it! Obviously there were a couple of major moments relegation survival and playoff win clearly being lifelong memories but you can rattle off a list for every season we've been in the prem. So I'd personally like us to stay there and whoever the manager is that keeps us there will get my backing. Originally posted by PatrickA
