Largely agree with this.
But how many of us would have substituted right back Clyne with central midfield player Ahamada playing out of position and woefully exposed?
It was almost setting him up to fail when the game was already gone.
Pointless is more ways than one.

That substitution was beyond me. I usually try to put myself in Roy's shoes when it comes to analysing his decisions, but that one has me stumped.

If I'm clutching at straws then the best I can come up with is that Richards was supposed to move to right back after Clyne was subbed, but that for some reason wasn't communicated.

Old, Ungifted and White

I have an image of two urbane gentlemen in a state of advanced refreshment moving at glacial speed.

We’ve been poor at corners since Benteke left to be honest. He used to attack the cross in both boxes and loved heading the ball. I watched the MOTD post match analysis of what Arsenal did and they reckon Anderson was the designated ball attacker. Neither he nor Guehi are that type of centre half. Anderson showed no intent to attack the ball and just stood still allowing Trossard to block him. I’m not sure where Guehi was and Richards needs to spend some time in the gym if he’s going to be a centre half. Way too easily bullied. The lad we sold to Lyon was a better centre half than those three!

The third goal was Hughes fault for chipping the cross straight to their keeper then jogging back making no attempt to get near Trossard. The last 2 goals just showed how awful Roy is when it comes to substitutions and that it’s time Tomkins was put out to pasture. All the speed of a knackered cart horse!

Firstly you are going to have to persuade a quality ambitious manager to take on a squad with limited EPL grade players and a lot of at best championship players or unproven younger players, none of which are currently in demand by other EPL clubs plus an inadequate transfer budget which Parish wants to control in his quest to seek low value unwanted players or sick notes. The positions they play in don’t matter as long as they are cheap sick notes or loans so that he can pin a squad number on their back. When everyone is fully fit we have at best 7/8 players that are good enough for this league, the rest just make up numbers and when the core players are injured or away on International duty then Roy has some square pegs that he has to find holes for them to fit in to. As for the younger players I have not seen any of them excelling which shows just how difficult it is to move from U21 level to the top flight in elite football.

No I was not at the match, I am however a season ticket holder, in the expensive seats, and have been for over 40+ years, consider this with the crap about the present owners, since we have been in the premier league the following teams have been relegated
Norwich, Fulham x3, Cardiff x2, Hull x2, Burnley x2, QPR, Villa, Norwich x3, Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Swansea, Stoke, WBA, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Watford x2, Sheff utd, Southampton, Leeds, Leicester.
So a BOD with no plan, my ar,,, plus of course the training ground and academy, pretty good record in my books, I have no issue with fans venting their anger, but a premeditated,( they took the banners there before result), at an away game, is nonsense, by all means have a Protest at Selhurst outside before a game, by the Directors entrance, i will happily engage with you there, it’s my entrance, then get in and support the team regardless,
