He simply cannot expect to serve up the crap of his last season and think it'll keep us up. What this team needs above all else is attacking structure and a confidence boost, not 30% possession. Don't start the yard dogs, go for it Roy

I will delude myself that some of the above will happen and go with a watchable 1-0

(IN BOLD) We should get at least, and usually, one per season.

All points noted and supported by me. However, as I have mentioned previously, we have had some great players at Palace but that does not mean I'd wish to see them starting for us now. They've had their time and are now unable to do what we would need them to.

In a similar vein, an argument could be made that Parish has brought us up a level, in fact that is objectively true (10 years in PL). As to the future and even present though, an argument could equally be made that his time has passed and something or someone new is needed given our current position and if we wish to see progress or even maintenance.

I'm not directly making a case for either however would state that both these things can be true at once.

In any instance, I can scarcely bring myself to say it, but I am feeling increasingly confident or hopeful. Let's not damn anything or anyone before this new period has started. Give 'em hell Roy!!!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

1-1

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

I was at that encounter at Filbert Street, when we were ahead 4-2 at HT and drew 4-4.
I believe the last time we scored 4 goals away from home in the league was last season when we defeated Mr Hodgson's Watford 4-1 !

I know we've complained about recruitment but Leicester fans must be really pi$$ed seeing Fofana sold and then replaced with Faes and Souttar, who from what I've seen are nowhere near as good, and Schmeichel replaced with a free transfer from the Championship. However, Tetê has looked good since coming in on loan and of course Maddison has been their one shining light. If Iheanacho hadn't been so awful in front of goal this season they might be further up the table. It shows how important one good striker can be. If Vardy was at his peak they'd probably be top 8 right now.

Anyway, regarding our game I think Roy will set up not to lose, it'll be dire, and it'll end 0-0. Of course I really hope I'm wrong and Roy has a much more positive impact.

I'm mildly excited about this game. It's Roy I keep telling myself but still there remains a level of positivity. Perhaps it's because I know it's only to the end of the season.
Well back to earth 1-1. They will score first and we will equalise deep into the second half just as the moans become audible around the ground.
