I hope that Frank will use the Liverpool and Swansea match recordings to show the players what is wanted. Against Liverpool the bus was parked and in spite of 70% possession Liverpool only got one goal. The trouble is that the team seems to build on previous good work, and it appears that the team went out perhaps thinking that 30% possession is the way to play. When we got two ball players in the middle (personally would have put on Lee then Cabaye leaving scope for a game changing third substitution. Once Leer and Cabaye were on the sweetness of the Palace play was a joy to watch. Please can we fans see our team start a match aiming for three in first twenty minutes? COYP

Well said. In a 1970's "stadium" where our "big main stand" is over 20 years old (and an embarrassment inside) we deserve better. Every week we turn up, every year we give the club a massive free loan by renewing early and yet, ever year we get the same dross. Stakeholders are well permitted to moan. Doesn't make us "less Palace" but let's be honest, itis hardly Fortress Selhurst and I want, no deserve, better I dont mind losing if the team have given their all but we have lost two games conceding 5 and scoring zilch to two teams who are likely to be in the bottom 6. Its not good enough

You have every right to boo a crap performance. These are players on a minimum of £30,000 - £50,000 per WEEK (some up and over £100,000), a manager on a million or two, plus everyone gets bonuses.

COYP Let's be honest about the Liverpool match. If Couthino was there at least one of their free kicks would have hit the back of the net.

I agree michaela not nice to hear but unfortunately our home form has been shocking for far too long. Some can see early alarm bells of a Pardew 2.0 disaster. At least with pardew we had our best ever premiership twelve months before it fell apart. The big loss for us was Sam A. Were not a fancy team of stylish or progressive football. The only plus is that we've generally been a team that does very poorly before doing exceptionally well. Problem is we are out of 'get out of jail options in managers'

No point in booing ... if you don't like what you see then don't turn up. The atmosphere was flat yesterday ... save for the Fanatics corner ... but there was absolutely nothing to get excited about.

Why do all those who condone booing seem to be later and younger HOL members. I use the word 'members' descriptively.

Come on Henry, what about the thousands of fans who buy Season Tickets to help the Club progress and expand. Surely they expect better in return and have the right to express their opinions if they believe that the Club is not respecting this. It is a bit rich to say "don't turn up." In any case, most of the booing was probably directed at FdB and SP who have helped to get us in this mess by using tactics not suited to our current players nor getting in replacements who may be able to do so. Sean D of Burnley may not have been everyone's 'cup of tea' but he is experienced at Premiership level, has his Team playing to their strengths and has made some very good signings recently. RLC and fosu-Mansa are good players but not ours and Riedewald (our only proper signing so far) looked out of his depth against Huddersfield. Not saying that he will not develop into a good player in time but we need people who already have the necessary experience. Am I the only one who is getting a bit tired in reading about the numerous names of players that we are in for only for nothing to materialise ? It feels as though Dougie is in the wings waiting to take over from Frank.

No, I really don't see the point of booing but still feel as disgruntled as anyone. I've paid for my season ticket but although I've spent my money I won't also be wasting my time to go and watch $hite like that week in and out.

So think booing doesn't have a point but not turning up at subsequent matches does?
