I don't think any of the players wilfully underperfomed against Sunderland, in fact we started the game quite well.But confidence is very brittle at the moment, and once that first goal went in it was shattered and fear took over.

In my opinion when you're earning per week what most earn per year and you're underperforming you just take the f***ing abuse and be a professional. These aren't non league players (although with their performances you might think so) so need to get over it. My love for Delaney ended on Saturday after yet again he gestured to the fans. Hope he sits on the bench until end of contract then f***s off now.

I agree with all of that. Continuous support in last 12 months has done no good. Perhaps booing and abuse is the thing that might finally get through to this bunch of morons. At the end of the day if you're doing a bad job but all you get is clapped then why would you ever think you're doing a bad job? However if shouted and and told you're s*** or not fit to wear the shirt perhaps you might try a bit harder Edited by cardiff eagle (07 Feb 2017 6.37am)

Hope he sits on the bench until end of contract then f***s off now. The ball was about to run out of play giving us a throw. We would then have then been boxed in by our corner flag, so he tried to shift the ball further up the pitch, and it went out of play. So what! He didn't need the non football thinking morons behind the goal to goad him for thinking safety. Delaney is coming to the end of his time, but what is sad is that some people have forgot what a warrior he has been for us, and without his last ditch tackles and leadership, we probably wouldn't be in this division at all. It's like kicking your dog cos he shat on the carpet once at the end of his days, when he has been a faithful friend over many years. Your post has made me lose all faith in so called Palace fans. Very sad. Maybe it's time for you to move on and support somebody else? Edited by Flightsequence (07 Feb 2017 7.00am)

Edited by Flightsequence (07 Feb 2017 7.00am) If you were a season ticket holder (you're not) travelling two hours each way to a game (you don't) to see a lack of passion and effort from players and then to have Delaney have a go at the fans you might feel differently. No one is forgetting that he was once good for us. He no longer is. He doesn't feel any passion towards the club otherwise he wouldn't act like he did (and has before) towards the fans. I don't blame him for not having passion as it's a job but it does mean that I don't feel any particular loyalty to him.

When that goes, we get justifiably pissed off.

I have been going enough away games, 20 years unbroken at one stage to see some serious dross, and travelling many many hours by road and rail, but to single out one player in a whole bad team performance is wrong. He looked like he made a calm down gesture from where I was. He is just as frustrated as we are no doubt.

He should've known he had time and nobody within 10 yards of him. Those that watch football and don't understand these little intricacies apart from 'must sing no matter what' or twirl their scarves around will never understand. Try watching players a bit closer. You will see before they receive the ball they have a little look left and right. Damo did neither. He should have the awareness before even looking to see if there was any pressure. How many times do you see this happen in prem football? Just an 'oh feck it this'll do. Oh coim down. It's under control. It's only a throw in we gladly let them have a free one two with whereas we struggle to find a shirt with our's. Fed up with this slack sh1t. ASAP we can replace any slack sh1t with the new players. Slack sh1t has crept it in with that man but it was alright because he scored a header from 2 yards out at villa that half the holmesdale were too young or not even born to remember but hailed him as a god. FWIW I didn't sing 'You're not fit to wear the shirt' because I can see its confidence that's the issue. If Hennessey didn't drop that ball we'd still be in the game. But that lazy turn and hoof/slice down the line deserved a moan.

Delaney has been a tremendous servant and who would have predicted that he would do so well over the years particularly in the PL. Here was a player we got on a 'Free', who was viewed as a utility player had played at left-back for Hull and QPR, was not the most technically gifted and who wasn't the quickest. He is a 'No-Nonsense' old school defender with distribution never his strong suite ! Yes on Saturday he screwed his clearance out etc etc but this could be symptomatic of a lack of confidence and the pressure players are under, not forgetting the fear factor.Players more gifted than him have done similar things ! In different circumstances, there wouldn't be this debate on HOL but alas supporters are all on 'Edge" due to our perilous position and venting of spleens at Selhurst and HOL is perhaps understandable given our dire 'Home' record.
