The problem isn't as simple as the manager not picking the so called right players because it sounds like we are the walking wounded at the moment. It was already stated in the PC that Mac had a foot problem SB and BI are playing with pain killing injections Big Vic is still injured and Sess has some serious personal probs. Fletcher was cup tied BF prob wouldn't have played anyway despite his mistake because Bo was playing the other cup games. I keep saying TP is not as clueless as people here keep making out He's had success in the prem for years Keeping Palace up last year and Stoke in the prem for so long is no mean feat. He didn't choose this squad losing Dan Ashworth and Roy Hodgson along with some poor choices by Peace are where we've gone wrong IMO. If we stay up and I think we're pretty much there already we need to re-construct our squad with TP calling the shots on recruitment and then we can see what he's really about and if it still doesn't happen then I'll concede but lets be realistic Its still 6 wins 3 draws 3 lost and at the end of the day Villa have been a nemesis for years and years I didn't expect us to lose twice but I was wrong and it hurts but I really should have suspected as much because they are one of our bogey teams. People keep saying we have no width but I still say that is due to our recruit,ment pre Pulis. After all what he did at Palace very successfully was utilise the 2 wingers they had and a good defensive organisation.
