We really should have been relegated this season, only the heroics of Guiata who single-handedly saved us at least 10 points earlier in the season kept us above the drop zone. Hodgson has lost the players, so it's game over - Parish has a couple of months to get the broom out, if it carries on like this we'll most certain be relegated.
The cynic in me says Freedman will take over...

Agreed! I can’t understand the general comments that we have nothing to play for either.

Every spot higher in the table = a shedload more money at the end of the season for the club.

And the players’ contracts will incentivise them to aim for a higher league position at the end. Although it’s clearly not incentivising them enough!

Oh, and then there’s pride as well, but I think that went out the window long ago.

Every spot is worth £2m. But in the last few matches it became apparent that we wont get higher than 13th and almost certainly won't drop to 15th.

There's more to football than a club bank balance.

With the side we have been putting out we don't look like scoring, and certainly don't look like winning. We don't pose any threat to the oposition and won't give players that might a chance.

We could have used try out something different for next season, but instead it's just the same old crap that doesn't work.

Based on 7 games, 7 loses, 2 goals. Sunday could be Roy's last game in management. If the players have any respect for him they will come out pumped up to give the old guy a good send off, or a chance to continue next season.

I agree about the starters but I would be adding Kouyate to that bench list. He is one god damn awful football player. He is hard working and gets about the pitch but lord above I don't think he is capable of kicking a fotball in a straight line.

Willo - that is very worrying to me.
Even if he gets £100m to spend - which he won't - he will not get flair in.
Luka needs a Cabaye type character to allow him to do what he does best.
Wilf - if he is staying - needs to know that he has someone to play with so that he starts to get more involved.
So much needs sorting out, so much money needs writing off but I am not sure even with funds available whether Roy is the right man.
He has been brilliant and is not solely to blame for this recent run of defeats but at 72 is he them man to start a new generation - I think not.
I feared for us this season but was thankfully proved wrong but next season already looks lost.
If things are not to change I am not sure I can renew my ticket - much as I love CPFC the lack of any ambition worries me even though I know that SP and Roy are working hard for us.

What was even the point in Woods, Gordon, Kirby and Pierrick being on the bench as he was never going to use any of them and we all knew that?

Roy Hodgson's bizarre subs part 53: lose Sakho to inkury so rather than bringing on Kelly or Woods, go for Kouyate (along with McCarthy an awful signing made by Hodgson who has done nothing in is time here) and is not a proper centre-half; losing the game so taking off Schlupp and bringing on a more defensive player in Riedewald.
