StanSP Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 Sounds like Mitrovic will get a lengthy ban. 7+ games, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgson part I'm sorry a little bit selfish and greedy, surely time to allow a younger coach to have a go. Hard to believe we've got a manager still managing who was managing at the same time as Brian Clough, Bill Shankly, Ron Saunders, Bobby Robson. Crazy... Yeah, his first game against...errr...oh yes - us will no doubt prove that because of the big number after his name it was a terrible appointment. They'd be much wiser to go for a younger man....like say Rodgers... Palace 2 - 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 So Roy took Watford down. Not sure Palace are making the right move there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, Hodgson is primarily a defensive coach. There was a lot of discontent towards the end of his previous time at Palace because they were just set up to stop the opposition from scoring and were awful to watch. But Palace's problem at the moment is scoring goals - their defence is already pretty sound. So they've brought in a defensive coach to solve an attacking problem. Judging from the radio phone-in I heard this morning, their fans are not very optimistic about how this is going to pan out...

Alongside that the offensive players or star player is the same bloke from Woy’s last spell there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 The appointment of Hodgson surely makes it more Twicky to get the thwee points off them now . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 I take it this a short term appointment, cause I'm not sure how your club can progress when having a manager of the years of Hodgson in charge. I mean it's bit like us reappointing MON, i mean I think we've all accepted MON days as management are now gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmcla26 Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 Think we'll batter Palace when we play them. Our attack is still decent and their defence has just shipped 4. I really don't think that Hodgson will be an inspiring appointment for their players. I've read that quite a few of their squad were behind Viera and had a close relationship with him as he has bought most of them in, think they'll be low on confidence and there for the taking. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. James Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 (edited) It really was a panic move to sack PV at this point imao. If they had a really tough run coming up then fair do's but their tough run has just finished and now its cannon fodder stuff- starting with us - for a few games. Hodgson will garner enough points l have no doubt and leave again as the saviour of a club he clearly loves. But then l think Viera would have too tbh, and they've binned a man with future potential who will succeed elsewhere. Edited 21 March 2023 by J.

He’ll cobble together a few points to keep them up . Even we got 8 points in away games but the home form was rubbish. Unlike us Palace aren’t adrift at the bottom and Hodgson will care about the job making sure the players do too . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 21 March 2023 Share Posted 21 March 2023 (edited) What on Earth are Palace doing… Concede 9 goals in 10 games, sack Viera and replace him with Hodgson? Bizarre. We could only dream of such a defensive record. They played Man City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool in that run of 10 games too 😂 Edited 21 March 2023 by FoxesWalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before he became a ref, before it was his full time job. He was watching his son at a game and mouthed off like any parent does. Basically a very long time ago. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
