Last year, we had 3 high quality players: Zaha, AWB, Batsuyahi. Two are gone, the third wants to be gone, and will likely be out of here in January.

We replaced them with nobody.

We're stuck with an entire squad of players who are average at best in terms of PL quality, many are below average. They are nice guys, try hard most of the time, but they don't have enough skills, and they aren't young.

Hodgson is a dinosaur, which has helped in the past, but now it's just getting maddening watching the same players fail over and over and over, in the same system.

Roy should have retired last year, because it's starting to look like his last managerial season is going to end in either relegation or being sacked.

The blame ultimately resides with SP and DF. Something stinks about our financial situation, and it's been made worse by the decisions of DF.

I have a feeling we'll be in the Championship next season with new owners, new staff, new coach, and new players. And given our roster of old overpaid players, it's more likely we'll be in the bottom half of the Championship unless we get in an administration with ambition and financial skill.

2017 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Middlesboro
2018 Jan. (Sako) Palace 1 - 0 Burnley
2019 May (Batshuayi, Batshuayi, OG, Van Aanholt, Townsend) Palace 5 - 3 Bournemouth
2020 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Newcastle

Parish gave him the job. Look at him for questionable appointments. The FdB appointment surely says it all about his ability to attract and appoint the correct candidate for the appropriate position?

Who'd want to sign for Roy?
The tactics are useless.
The players look bored.
The fans are fed up.

We need to find a decent manager then get rid of him.

You missed out arrogance.

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

Neither Parish nor Freedman should be anywhere near the football side of things and Freedman shouldn’t be in the club full stop.

It started to go wrong when the board bought Benteke and Parish then suddenly changed football strategy. It worked for Benteke but not for the defence. Parish then brought in Allardyce which worked through the team. Then the real fvck up came hiring FDB one season after buying Benteke. I said it then and I’ll say it now. Fvcking stupid. Then Roy was an inspired choice, only he won’t play to Benteke’s strength.

I’m afraid because Roy doesn’t have other options upfront and he’s too stubborn to change to play to Benteke or even Wickham then I’m afraid we’re screwed.

Parish is clueless and doesn’t plan ahead on the football. He never has. But now the funds have run out we either, and this is going to sound bad, make Roy the fall guy, or probably go down with the squad having no idea, yet it’s not that worse or different to the Allardyce team.

RH I am sure has a very hard job on his hands and I have to say SP and the co-owners are very slowly but surely taking us down. RH has little to work with plus I am fairly certain deep down the Wilf situation is having a big effect on morale. Our performance yesterday was, well less than acceptable and showed to me signs of discontent. 3 very poor transfer windows and no ground development spells big trouble to me. IMO what will happen SP will sack RH and appoint Chris Hughton (worth a bet I reckon) more doom and gloom!!
