Our most critical season ?

[Save Dwindlehurst]

New season, new manager, new team, new stand started and three promoted teams who look like they won’t roll over.
If we get it right, stay up and win the Europa League, which is far from impossible given our bigger squad and the 2 legged phase after the group stage, we would be in the Champions League and all the riches that comes with it. And surely set for years more in the Premier League and higher finishes in front of 34,000 fans every home game.
If we get it wrong and get relegated maybe the ‘start of a new dark age’ as Churchill once said (albeit it not
about Palace)!
That’s why this season is so critical……

Every season has this kind of thing with us. We're always a few games away from relegation at some stage. We seem to always need a rebuild, a change of tactics or a new manager. It's like a permanent state of critical.

A lot of rumours online parish is considering replacing Pierre sage, surely not true……is there something going on behind the scenes we do not know?

It’s been an ok start. The issue is defence but we did not replace Lacroix yet

Players are complaining about management. It's an unsettled squad, that was the whole point of the Henderson contract news. But we've still got two senior squad players: Sarr and Mateta mouthing off. We've got an unhappy couple of others too, Canvot, Lerna, Guessand. Not even entirely sure what Guessand and Lerma are up to.

Yes it doesn't seem healthy behind the scenes. A sad state of affairs, as we once again seem to have failed to capitalise on any momentum and success, and instead look ready to implode.

3 points from 12, sitting 17th in the league table, minus 5 goal difference. Yes it could be worse I guess.

Lerma played in the cup, but is not in the Europa squad. Canvot and McNeil were obviously given a shake and came back looking a bit more alert.

Guessand has disappeared, but I can't blame Sage for not including him as he's never looked that impressive.

Sarr and Mateta situations are out of Sage's control.

It does appear all is not well behind the scenes, but as much blame lies with the board and poor summer prep as it does with Sage in my opinion. Pierre has been dealt a pretty sh*t situation to come into.

I totally agree.
