I wouldn’t go that far, nor blame it on a single turnstile, they’re all in on it! Wasn’t just the Spam game either or only this year!!

The win consolation nonetheless

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

If Roy and Ray continue to motivate the team the way they appear to be doing it would be madness to change a winning formula.That is provided he wants another season. He may want to leave on a high and I wouldnt blame him. Managing and organising a bunch of overpaid footballers cannot be easy but he has got them all playing well with smiles on their faces and there seems to be a new freedom and confidence for them to get forward and press and attack. I suspect they wernt happy with the way PV set them up and that was reflected in our poor results and performances. We may have survived under PV .. we will never know but I am loving this new regeneration with Roy and Ray at the helm.

I was happy when Roy left a couple of seasons ago as it seemed the right time for him to go while acknowledging that he had done some excellent work in his first couple of seasons.
However, he looks a good fit for the current squad of players and they have responded well to his coaching methods.
Simplicity can be genius in football and Roy has,
1) Got Schlupp in his most effective position driving forward from an inside left position where he can use his pace and power
2) Moved Eze to an inside right position where he can link effectively with Olise and get closer to goal to demonstrate his clever footwork. When was the last time we looked as threatening down our right side? Our threat has almost exclusively been down the left through Zaha, but now we are more balanced.
3) Moved Ayew into his most effective position down the middle.
4) Got us playing higher up the field recognising Guehi and Anderson are more mobile than his previous choices.

Roy has demonstrated he is not a one trick pony playing deep and hitting teams on the counter.
He knows what he’s doing and with the right resources he knows how to use them.

Absolutely agree.

Roy for me a pragmatic manager which meant keeping a limited team in the PL but thus far has looked to exploit, as best possible, the greater and more expansive talent at hand.

I firmly believe that alongside a clam, experienced, paternal arm around the shoulder is all this group needs to perform at the level it is capable of. All things Vieira seemed lacking in.

As with any or many managers, there may come a time when a change is needed and this will not last forever more, however for the time being, it looks to not only be the answer we needed but ultimately the absolute correct decision from the board. We looked to be in very serious trouble and that fear has completely vanished for now.

i strongly disagree Monkey.

From all the games I saw, which was most , it wasn’t the same team not even close. Rumours of PV going missing, his general behaviour and players discontent too. Whether he would keep us up or not anyone’s guess but we set a record vs Leicester ( I think) for attempts in one half, something like that, not long where under PV we failed to register a single shot on target for multiple games.

Having seen most these matches, it did not look like the same team just playing better or worse opposition. Something was seriously unwell before and whether it’s Roy’s coming, PV’s departure or a combination of both, it had to happen and we look entirely different. Something was well and truly rotten in the state of Norwood.
