..apart from our last game.

Which was the first in a while and we still barely created a chance at the other end.

Furthermore I've not seen much grit from us this season and the fact that we've looked a bit soft is one the main reasons I'd be so worried if we get drawn into a relegation fight.

Fair play. A poor attempt at humour by me - sorry!

We'll be ok, the points will come. Onwards and upwards!

Roy has a front 3 better than any 3 he ever had at palace, his style and their fire power will keep them up easily, we gave him nothing to work with after his 1st season.

Wasn't Roy the one who bought Sorloth?

...and your point is?

Name a manager of any club who hasn't made a wrong choice. For example, who at Chelsea was responsible for getting rid of Salah and De Bruyne?

As for Hodgson, we also bought in Guaita, Kouyate, Ayew, Cahill, Eze and Butland during his tenure (yes and Meyer, Jach and Clyne). As for Sorloth, as least what got back a bit more than we paid for him.

So, I ask again, what is your point?

His point is, he doesn’t understand that Dougie does the recruiting not the manager.

No problem mate , fair play

And let’s hope they do start to come and we don’t lose to Watford or you’ll all have to listen to me vent after a few beers tomorrow aswell

Crazy to start this kind of thread. PV has shown us a brighter Palace and we were a couple of minutes away from grabbing a point against Chelsea, and let's face it, not many on here were forecasting a win and most thought we'd lose.

OK, we do lack bite up front, but the fault is the players not the manager. I watched the match through a stream on my tablet and there were so many fine performances. Trouble is there were also some guilty of overplaying. Chelsea are second in the PL and we had them on the ropes for long periods.

Of course we need to improve our finishing, but please don't start getting on the manager's back.

We're not a club funded by Saudi money so our manager, like the players has to come within budget.

I'm annoyed we couldn't hold on for a draw today, but I see a manager and a team under development. I'm certain we'll stay up and that next season we'll see a more polished performance and results to match.

Keep the faith glaziermart.

Don't want to jump on PV's back but we did have 3 strikers on the bench on Saturday, so the manager must take some responsibility for the lack of bite upfront

We started with JA up front but not scored in 40+ games , left millions of £ worth of front 3 on the bench .. isn’t it time to revert to 442 , we’re not scoring and not creating chances .. Lukaku had more touches offside than we had shots

More to the point, they've conceded 1 goal in the last three since Mr Hodgson took over.

Lot's of pessimism out there, not surprisingly I suppose. However, this is a transition season with many new players. Under Roy I always felt our points totals were higher than out performances deserved whereas under PV I feel the opposite (due mostly to our inability to convert the chances we are creating and our being a bit partial to concede a late goal). This has got to be good news and at some point this will change, 13 games left and we need 13 points to be comfortably safe. There will be nerves, especially if we don't do the business tonight and at the weekend..but we'll be fine.
