And if there are mistakes, or pardew tries some stupid formation, and we loose, will you finally admit he has to go?

The problem is unless something has been going on in the background with the transfer window opening in just days from now any new manager would not have the knowledge of the team or his finger on pulse to get the quality players we need which is at least three if not more. Whilst I'm no great fan of AP I do think that SP has missed the boat, this should have really been sorted out a month ago if not at the end of last season, when AP performance was and still is to yesterday abysmal. Sorry to say SP allowed the cup final to cloud his judgement and consequently allow the league form (the one that matters) to drift.

Have we really got high calibre players? Benteke better than Negredo?

Townsend plays for England but don't know why based on his Palace performances? Cabaye? How many goals and assists this year?
The full backs are woeful. Zaha is our best but wouldn't get in the side of the top 6.

At the moment we seem as poor as any team in the Premiership in terms of skills but with less fight and nous. So I think we're in big trouble. We need to up our game big time.

We need to get Sam in asap, he saved Sunderland last year I would hope he could do the same for us with better players available. So many good points made in this thread, I hope SP will act soon.

It's been over a year now ive been concerned over pardew, and his ability to address issues on the field, mind we are supposed to be proffessional premier team,, every body realises the issues and I'm sure the effort is being put In,

Steve Parrish and the Board deserve our loyalty in that the reality is
We are supposed to be growing in strength from the roots and around the club, which we are. We are not a proven premier tea. Look at last year 6th if you watched the games there was some dodgy performances, and We all got hyped up, the Fa cup was a great run, but on the day it got to the players,

I do feel sorry for benteke he has 2-4 players at him, whilst our midfield are ball watching or too tired to cover because our defence is struggling at best, not premier league standard on the ball,
Benteke is class,
I'm sad to say it's possible pardew will stay and we stay up , But Zaha showed real signs of blame in his none proffessional way he re mistreated against the REF and his team,
Enforce our midfield away from home and when you get an equaliser
3-4 minutes from time settle for a point and make proper sensible substitutions

I don't think people realise how difficult it's been without a LB. so little balance in the team everything breaks down. We will be absolutely fine if the Chairmen spend the cash required this window.
