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

I literally couldn’t care less if we had 1% or 99% possession. The only stat that matters is that we scored 2 and Fulham scored 1. Another stat is we have 10 points from six games and are 5th in the best division in the world - thats perspective. There are no easy away wins in the Premier League. The team is so well drilled, playing for the manager and hard to beat and that is why we win games. It’s a recipe for success. Football is a results based industry and Roy gets results and he is going nowhere. Pardew was the polar opposite to Roy (for the record I think both managers on the whole were excellent for Palace) but then you’ll get people moaning that we’re conceding too many goals and we’re too easy to beat. I'm happy we got three points but we all know that being 5th flatters us and it wont last, our last four performances have not been very good at all. Its been fooking hard work watching. Maybe some people are happy to watch this style from Hodgson but I think its s***, away at Fulham and we're not on the front foot after all the time and money we've had in the PL and we sit in and counter (again)...ffs its so boring to watch no wonder my kids can't arsed with it anymore.

We've won 7 games since Christmas. Only 1 by more than a goal. 2 of those sides were relegated. Plan A worked early on again yesterday. A Zaha goal and assist bailed us out. Yet still faces criticism from many. How has Reidewald not had a look in for the last 3 years? A 2-1 win vs a team just promoted that had the shortest time to prepare for the premier league out of any team in history doesn't vindicate the manager of an established premier league side. But he should be congratulated on delivering a result. Bring on Wolves on Friday. They've been particularly unimpressive this season. Let's see if we've improved from the 0-2 last season. TBH I think we were fairly lucky to the result yesterday. Our home form over the last few seasons and performances at the end of last and the last four from this season makes it hard to congratulate him.

Why post here if you don’t believe he should go? There is a Roy In thread for you that would be happy to receive your blessing. You can post your support for anti-football there. Not sure you fully understand the concept of the message board

Any manager is only six poor performances or results from the sack and Roy is no different. There was also good reason to question him after the end of last season. His critics were screaming for a change from 433 with three "defensive" midfield players. That he should put Mitchell and Riedewald in the team and that Luka should be dropped. He's done all of those things, got 10 points from a difficult looking opening six games and found a way to get a tune out of a player who wants out. The lack of response against Chelsea and last week against Brighton were unacceptable but not enough to justify some of the utter bollocks that has been thrown out. This post is unarguable save we were an inch and unlucky deflection away from beating the weed 2 0 almost without leaving our own half. The moaners can complain about the quality but I for one would still be laughing

Crystal Palace haven’t been in the relegation zone since match day 31 of 2017/2018 season. That’s 2 and a half years. Only 7 other teams have longer records. Source CPFC analytics. - We were the 17th biggest spenders in the summer transfer window If Roy was to leave, who is going to to work within these tight financial conditions and get results. Who? We are 5th in the premier league. We have had a better start than Chelsea who have spent 250million. We are 9 points above the drop zone and fans want the manager out. Laughable. We are in the middle of a pandemic and now more than ever, the goal is to stay in the league. The EFL need a bailout or clubs will go under. If we went down, it could be trouble. So how about we get behind the guy before he retires and be grateful for the work he has done. Amen

i still love Croydon Roy. and i also question what proportion of all the critics on here are even proper Eagles ? there is a smell of Chelscum, Millwall, Charlton & Brighton on this thread. And for good reason, Roy is doing a great job considering the resources at his disposal.

Well in response to this I've been a Palace fan of over 50 years.

Being loyal to Palace does not equate to being loyal to Roy. I've never been in a hurry to suggest he goes but the negative style he insists on, particularly in the previous two games brought me much closer to that view.
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |
