Time to consider your position,Roy,if you have any honour? You have a strange view, Burnley got a goal from an error and we battered then in second half, but couldn't score, hardly title contenders. We beat Leeds 4-1, who drew 3-3 at Anfield! Other teams results against each other are irrelevant, its naïve to compare. You don't like Roy, fine, but your clutching at straws.

I really do get that this is the best time ever for the club. Yes, we have been in the Premier League for 8 seasons. But it feels like we are only there to make up the numbers and avoid relegation. What happened to "pushing on"? And before people say I am being ungrateful or unrealistic, I have followed long enough to have gone home and away in the old Division 3. My perspective is that I am bored watching Palace. I go to pretty much all home games and the occasional away. I am fed up with Palace setting up negatively at home against teams way below us. We have lost, without scoring, against two very poor teams in the last week. Maybe, we were unlucky but we were still poor and uninspiring. I think if we lose Wilf in January (or to injury) we will go down. Taking the situation he inherited into account, Roy has done a great job for us. But we have not "pushed on" and at best are stagnating. Maybe that is Parish's fault (or Dougie's) for not supporting him enough particularly in the transfer market. But, I sense that this is all we will get from Roy from now on. Hopefully, Parish is thinking that we will see this season out with Roy, stay in the prem and bring in a new manager. Hopefully, he will have learnt from the FDB episode and there is already a very shortlist if not someone primed for the role.
