Would be happy with this lot

I like what he is saying, so that's a start. Realistically the big clubs will win all of the trophies 90% of the time, so really it's about making the experience as enjoyable as possible while we fight against the odds. You look around and clubs like Wolves, Bournemouth and Brighton have provided good entertainment for their fans without ever looking like they'll actually win a trophy. I'd be good with that.

The rest of this season and the summer is all about getting use to the new system, we will get new players in and let some old ones go so the futures looking better. Roy's football was very boring at times atlease with the new boss he's more attacking, we just need to take our chances better and we will when we get in the players the boss wants.

Looking forward to next season

It's being reported that Kofi Balmer, who is on loan at Wimbledon, will leave Palace in the summer, he will have a year left on his contract. He's 23 & a CB . . . [Link]

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I liked the cut of Ollie's jib from the start. He's proving to be an excellent trainer, motivator and all round good egg. A brilliant fit for us in fact.

There's no doubt some of our squad will go and, as you write Patrick, the manager will have formed a pretty clear idea of the players he wants to keep. The big question will be whether market forces push us to sell our brightest stars. I was encouraged by his answer in the post match interview about Olise. He gave the impression that he was expecting him to be with us next season.

That may just have been my own hyped sense of anticipation after yesterday's fabulous victory of course.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Clyne surprise me yesterday, deffo put in a shift and save us with a goal line clearance.
