Isn't it funny that our season has become defined by a game against Watford. Not for the first time either!

I think Vieira has areas he can improve, but overall I think he's done a good job. The reality is Zaha takes that chance at the end and most would say yesterday was a good performance. I can barely remember more than one or two performances last season in which I genuinely enjoyed the game, or thought we played well. I love Roy for giving us stability, but so many wins last season almost felt like defeats we were so hard to watch. We're transitioning our entire way of playing and overhauling the squad, so I'm not really sure it's fair to be too harsh on Vieira given where we're at. Thankfully I think Parish and the board are pretty supportive of their managers and don't have Watford-like reflexes when it comes to a difficult run. Arteta received patience when the results were poor and that's paid dividends for Arsenal, the same with the Austrian at Southampton when they were getting whopped, while Potter had a similar first couple of seasons to Vieira at Brighton. This isn't a Pardew type situation where there seems to be no direction and general chaos. I also think Vieira seems to have the trust of the players, which is important.

Of course it's frustrating to be losing points so late again and that needs to be addressed, but I do feel like Vieira is the right man for us. Personally I'm still enjoying watching Palace more than I have in years because we actually have control of the ball more often and have some talented players. If we can just find that composure in the 18-yard box we can start winning again.

I think i will turn off the radio from now on at the 80 minute mark.Mmmm,or maybe turn it on at the 80 minute mark?

stuck up here with a load of northern monkeys!

Did you see Watford on MOtD last night. If that was Royball we could do with some of that, The speed at which Watford attacked should give us food for thought. IMHO

We left the Oval at lunch just before lunch to get down to Selhurst that day. Devon Malcom had endured bouncers and he was fired up taking 9 wickets in the afternoon. Darren Pitcher made his debut for us at left back and had a horrid afternoon but he did a bit better that season in a tenacious midfield role.

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

I admit I had a few beers and may have over reacted however I standby what I say when we should be extremely worried and we all deserve an opinion,
Call me disloyal? Just for an opinion ? Go to bed old fella
