Like some others today, I don’t believe Eddie Howe is the answer. Not sure who is, but it needs an new injection of ideas, strategy, tactics, and a platform to allow some skilful, creative footballers to flourish. Again, I would agree that Hodgson staying on in some capacity would be a wrong move too. I hope Mr Parish reads this forum so he knows what fans actually think!

Roy's post match interview said it all really. Nothing really wrong. Nearly got all three points. Is he really unaware of how awful Palace have become? Stats can be misleading but the stats for Palace tell the story. Yep.

Well, if he did, he would know what some fan's think but I am sure he is more than capable of making up his own mind! My thoughts are that some perspective needs to be shown - for sure it was a poor performance from Palace and the inability to do anything much in an attacking sense was really disappointing. Watching on TV, you could sense Brighton would equalise and possibly then get a winner - at least that didn't happen.

He used to but sadly I’m not entirely convinced that many chairman really give much of a toss what the fans think, these days.

I can’t see him going this season unless we have a similar run to the end of last season and look like we’re struggling in the bottom 3.

How bad do we have to get before you’d accept a change is needed? Are results the only consideration, or should performances also be looked at? How many Palace games have you enjoyed watching in the last 24 months?

I wholeheartedly concur. At home we have played 3 PL games, scored 3 goals, 1 from the penalty spot.Our possession stats in these games : I believe that supporters have had enough, there is only so much we can take. and the best of those teams was Everton who we played well against and had the best possession stats (for us). We had a go against them. I accept that against Soton we were happy to let them play suicide defending.

Why would you reward a failing manager with a cushy job? I see your intention is to try and be respectful, and perhaps two years ago we could have asked Roy to help with a managed transition but we are currently on a run of 2 wins in 13. No manager worth his salt would accept a role in a job where the old manger is still lingering around. Not sure if Howe is the right man for the job, but we have an established, experienced, and professional group of players. Even if he doesn't succeed, it's very unlikely we'd get relegated with the squad we have. Worth a punt. That is very bold and optimistic statement, hope it does not come back to haunt you!

Doom bear made a good point, which may have been forgotten. Fans pay good money to be entertained. The Brighton match was NOT a one off. When Hodgson speaks it is always about trying to avoid relegation. I know every team wants to get to 38-40 points and I get that, but we never have any ambitious chat or aspirations to get well into the top half. Aspirations and expectations are far too low and this negative 'drip feed' affects players and fans. Hodgson was right yesterday when he said that this is the best squad in his time. Now is the time for leadership and ambition. The fans are a powerful body. It seems to me that there is a great deal of discontent.

I believe our Home supporters would like to feel more comfortable instead of biting our nails until the final whistle.
