This article in the inews posits the question as to what is the point of what Palace are doing in the PL. No goals, no entertainment but just enough points to bob along in mid-table. A risk averse approach with limited "fun" as the article suggests. This seems to be the existential question that has fuelled these boards in recent years (especially since the final couple of years of Roy's reign).

Brighton were in a very similar position until Bloom decided he wanted to go down a different route. He's made his money in gambling and his gambles are paying off and everyone has forgotten what they were like under Hughton.

Right now I personally think we have a pool (albeit small) of talent that means we should be being braver, taking more risks and trying to actually entertain the fans, rather than just grinding out results. What is the point of Roy's approach? It may work to get a midtable finish, but does anyone really enjoy the football and his stubborn refusal to experiment?

I don't blame Roy, he's delivering what many of his feared he would. He will likely keep Palace up. But I no longer think that's enough.

Rubbish article, Palace bashing.

How do we change, borrow money we don't have then go broke, tried that twice NOT FUN.

Until we have owners prepared to spend Parish is making the best of a bad job. Brighton got a mention, well lucky for them they have an owners whose prepared to spend.

Perhaps the journo would like to point us to a rich owner ?

Pathetic assessment of the club, we are a small club punching above our weight without the resources to pay big money, no sugar daddy, no small oil producing nation, the squad has doubled in value over the past two deasons, and who is to say Franca and Hendersen in a years time are players will cant afford to buy, the two collapsed deals was a blow, i really dont know what people expect, if you did a list of how big you think each club is, IMHO we would be about 30th.

This season was always going to be difficult, and it has been made worse.
We have suffered badly from injuries to our best players on top of losing our best player.

However 'boring' we might be, it is way better than playing QPR in front of 12k.

Or Charlton, I hear they have a lot of fun in L1.
