Unable to react to in game management. And before you come back with yes we drew with Everton, another point on the board I believe only Huddersfield have an inferior record to us this season. I go both home and away, the poor sods who can only get to the home games I wonder how they feel with Roy behind the wheel. well done...little old crystal palace with the 2nd lowest net spend are mid table, doing well and able to be on the the beach, bit still hold a very good everton side 0-0. also, im not sure if you are aware of this but there is no separate table for home & away form, it all get added together as do the points, if you care to take a look at the league table you will see this, i can only assume you havnt looked at the table of late, as if you had, you and a lot of other fans wouldnt be moaning like a bunch of spoilt little brats.

I predicted a 3-0 win mate, it was no surprise to me that we won. One week on and you are wanting Roy sacked! Why would Parish even consider sacking him. He has got us mid table in both seasons, this year after losing 2 quality players in Cabaye and RLC. Why would anyone gamble the prospect of losing £120m a year, if they didn't have too. There is no guarantee anyone else available would do any better.

I've been calling for him to be sacked since we lost three times to Watford and Brighton did the double. I've been vocally critical since Bournemouth away on the 1st October. I agree with in bold. SP is not going to sack him whilst we're grinding out 40 points through negative, anti-football. I think we have better players then most give credit and should be kicking on, looking to progress and challenge for 8th. This summer is the right time to thank Hodgson and retire him off, sell a couple of players in their peak and invest in a manager and a couple of players. A LB, Attacking midfield or two and a striker is all that is needed. Plus a manager prepared to play them. Whatever your opinion on Hodgson the home performances are unacceptable and the buck stops with him.

I have to admit. This season, we have comfortably avoided relegation with no real scares. We are in a decent position in the league. Wolves and Watford have had great seasons; Leicester, Everton, and West Ham all have much bigger resources. We are now the 9th longest serving team in the premier league and next year I would except similar. Roy had done the job he was expected to. I can't make Bournemouth. My criticism is that I missed Leicester, Burnley, and Fulham. So I've seen 1 home win against Huddersfield and palace players score twice from open play (Ward and PVA). It's been a pretty poor return for a season ticket and 3 hour round trips. I've lowered my stance from thinking we should sack him, to merely suggesting we should keep an eye out for a talented replacement.

Nah sorry don’t go along with your apologist attitude. I’m more of a Keep moving forward or stand still kind of guy. If you have faith that Roy’s give it to wilf tactic and reliance on penalties and away form is sustainable then fair play to your optimism. Roy shows very limited ability in my opinion. A lot could change by the start of next season but can Roy change his approach I’m very doubtful. Maybe my expectations are higher than yours. Have a look at your surroundings this isn’t the championship days any longer.

Benteke is a write off. s*** touch, no strength, poor movement, can’t stay on his feet or hold the ball up. This is true, so instead of getting some width in the team and banging some balls in the box Roy plays MacArthur on the left wing and Wilf though the middle. Roy hasn’t and never will play to Benteke’s strengths and when Wilf is gone it’ll be 4 central midfielders chugging round the pitch, playing the ball sideways, with possibly Andros cutting back onto his strong foot after the oppo have been behind the ball for 20 passes. I get why Parish will never want a manager keeping us in the prem to leave, and Roy won’t be doing it for very long anyway, but I am concerned we might be on the start of a slide seeing how few goals we score and how Roy is sapping creativity out of the team to the point you expect there not to be any. Roy had better be good with any new players and squad on the training pitch still because right now in real matches we’re very tame apart from some of the individual battles. I wish I could fast forward to the next manager because I’ve come close to not using my ST so many times. It’s lucky we don’t have a 35,000 stadium because we’d have to give away fans half to 3/4 of the Arfur to fill it playing this.

Have a look at your surroundings this isn’t the championship days any longer. Yes my concern is the damage this may be doing for a bit further down the road, maybe even next season. Maybe if those 100% for Roy Hodgson think about this for a while they may see the point. If we’re always negating our own ability to actually win a football a match and doing that more and more, what happens after we’ve been doing that for so long? Add to that a new manager. Unless we get a RLC type or something happen next season I think we’ll be sowing the seeds of some even more frustrating times in the future. All I’m asking for is a few overlaps, maybe some early crosses in, or attacking before the oppo have everyone behind the ball and we have a load of ineffective possession, not MacArthur with the ball on the left showing the body language of someone instinctively looking to pass the ball down that wing but realising there isn’t and there won’t be anyone there, so inside to one of the other 3 2-3 central midfielders, over to Andros blocked out and back over to MacArthur again. Wake me up when we have another plan.

A crap and condescending analogy, but to put it onto context, you're entering your fiesta into an F1 race driven by Johnny Herbert and are happy getting lapped, not realising that when the race finishes eventually you're in last place and it was all pointless. Rather than cheer the fact that we're in the race, why not upgrade the car and get a better driver?
