I thought Hermansen had a minor issue in Mid December, and here we are! If we can have Wilf back for the next PL game after Everton it's a huge result.

Not sure - wasn't Brexit 51/49%? I can't imagine there's 49 Leicester fans who wanted him to stay, let alone 49%!

His contract situation over the last 5 years epitomises everything that's wrong with the club. Total mess that a player of his ability has been on the books at PL level in seven separate seasons.

Rubbish. Watch and analyse the game properly and stop writing headlines like that which you know makes fans pile on with negativity. Play like that and we’ll be absolutely fine. Created numerous brilliant chances and win comfortably on another day.

Exactly. Everyone is talking about being frightened about a fire sale in the summer - the club have got no idea what they're doing. They'd sell Bilal for £20-25m, Hermansen for £25-30m and that'd be that. We'd probably get promoted (Unless the EFL **** us) and the PSR/lack of transfers/uninspiring manager choice cycle will start again.

Ruud showing he gives a shit which is nice to see. Not sure he's suitable for the shitshow that this club has become, but at least he's trying.

Hard not to laugh at that article. Just such a shambles in every department of the club.

Jakub has meant that Danny Ward is not in goal and that is superb.

I smell an internal review between the Rudster, Big Suze & Top. We've got it sorted.

Rudkin must be absolutely perplexed by this situation. Ruud had an impressive playing career & had great aura. What else would we possibly need in order to avoid relegation? You've got to feel for the Rudster.

Mental that we essentially got Winks & Skipp for £10m + Maddison. Don't even think it would be in Rudkin's bottom 10 deals.

Was this a training ground injury? Can't remember him going off in a game?

With the exception of the Savinho goal against City I haven't felt he could've done any better with any of the goals. That's all you can realistically ask of him. He shouldn't be anywhere near the XI.

If you play FPL and aren't bringing Maddison in then I am unsure what is wrong with you.

I think people look at Buenonotte through rose tinted specs after a few decent games early in the season. He's been really poor recently. Having said that, we have 4 or 5 other PL players. They're just all either injured (Hermansen, Ricardo, Ndidi, Fatawu) or out of form (Winks). Wolves are also absolute pish without Cunha. Makes it even more disgraceful he was allowed to single handedly (Perhaps with a little help from our friend Danny) win them 6 points in December.

Literally anyone else is more capable of getting a surprise win. We've beaten the sides in 20th, 18th & 14th, and were lucky on all three occasions.

No but seriously at least he showed great aura when he beat a Steve Cooper side twice in two weeks as United boss. If it's enough for Jon, it's enough for me. He's obviously objectively doing a terrible job, but do think he's been unfortunate in a few matches. Just complete incompetence hiring him in the first place. Dyche wouldn't touch us with a barge pole but if we could get him in, I genuinely would. Sickening what this club has done to me.

Ipswich just look like a side that are coached properly. That could be enough to keep them up.

Fulham are so well coached that I simply cannot see them not beating us comfortably. Really unfortunate against West Ham to not win, let alone lose that game. They're better coached with better players. And yet here we are looking at it as a must win.

I actually think yesterday was the first time I felt reminiscent of that season. Palace were not the better team yesterday, we were competitive. But lost. That must've happened 10 times before we beat West Ham in that season.

I don't think that a lot of the fans think about it that deeply. I think those that genuinely really care, most of the time will try and generate an understanding of 'why' it is that we're so crap and act accordingly. That makes up a decent % of the people on this forum. I think a very large % of our season ticket holders are almost casual fans. They're there to go along and watch the football without huge interest in the behind the scenes or wider context of the performance of the club. Sure, they want us to win... but I don't think we have a massively "invested" fan base on the whole.

We applauded at Fulham in '23, we applauded when we went down. Foxestalk is not representative of the emotion that the KP has.

He's more Demarai Gray than Harvey Barnes but he is far away from our biggest issue. I thought he had a couple of really good moments last night. Honestly if we had a striker who regularly made runs in behind, I think he'd benefit massively.

I much prefer how we play under Ruud but realistically, all I want is to stay in the division & start again in the summer (Ambitious I know). So... Sean Dyche is available. Could we....

It is pointless making sensible comments like this when people are emotional though. The reality is you can look at it from your perspective (Someone who evidently watches the matches and draws conclusions beyond what the final score was) and from the perspective of someone who looks at the league table, nothing else.
