As you can imagine, the feeling around Selhurst Park at the moment is not a good one. The Eagles were dumped out of the FA Cup by Watford yesterday and in the wake of the defeat, a lot of the fans have been questioning their manager and calling for Roy Hodgson’s head.
Roy Hodgson has provided an injury update on Wilfried Zaha.

When Hodgson initially came into the job at Selhurst Park he had just one job: keep Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The ex-England, Liverpool and Inter Milan manager took over after just four games of the previous Premier League campaign and did what he was tasked with as one of the division’s ‘firefighter managers’, now though it looks like his time is coming to an end.
Should Palace stay up this season, and it’s hard to see a way in which they manage to throw away their Premier League status from here, then surely the right move would be cut Hodgson loose? At the age of 71 there really isn’t much that Hodgson has left to do in the game, and if he keeps going the way he has been for the last few weeks then the fan’s calls for his head will only intensify.
You can see exactly what those fans have been saying here:

The Eagles’ faith in Hodgson is quickly dwindling and they’re all keen to see him gone before their troubles get worse.
