I am really beginning to believe Palace can’t play more than two games in a row without getting a serious injury!

Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

Losing at the Arse is what we do. Bank the 0 points and move onto games we can win.

I love Cabaye, one of my favorite players but he was wrong for this game Jairo should have started or at the very least been brought on as soon as Roy saw it wasn't working, on the ten minute mark at the latest. Roy has to take some of the blame for this game. His lack of action in the first half is just bizarre, unless as someone else has pointed out that he was trying to make a point to Parish about transfers and if that's true (I'm not 100%% sure it is) he's done it at the expense of one of our most creative players.

Bangell - If Camus wrote The Myth of Sisyphus today, it would be about Jason Puncheon eternally trying and failing to pass with his right foot.

You would have subbed off a 32 year old respected player like Cabaye on the 10 minute mark?

That's just a big no-no in football. Plus, it wasn't just Cabaye's fault today. I can't see a difference with him subbed off

If I was a well respected talented manager who knew my stuff I probably wouldn't have played him in the first place considering we were up against a team that were going to run our midfield ragged. I know I'm clutching at straws here and a lot went wrong and I'm in no way blaming Cabaye. If anything I'm blaming Roy for not doing something sooner. I think in a match where you are 4 down after 16 minutes the "big no-nos" in football should go out the window.

I think you should have stopped there.
