I agree Ole's campaign starts against Norwich, no excuses 3 points or the pressure builds.

Agree with this.It was the same for us last night.If possible try not to get dis-heartened when you get beaten by the Man U's of this world.It's the Norwich's and Fulhams you need to be getting points from and anything else is a bonus.Massive game against the Canaries for you now.The pressure is on Ole and the squad and your next 3 games will define your season i think.

Yes, Ole is a massive gamble who thinks he can attack his way out of a relegation dogfight.(has it ever happened?) We aren't quite in that dogfight, but if we don't get a few victories in the next 3 games, then we are in a dog fight with the wrong manager. But Vincent knows best because he's a billionaire and billionaires aren't stupid.

Im behind him, im hoping we can attack our way out of this hole, but some people seem to think he is some sort of managerial holy grail - why? Lets hope he can start getting some points on the board.

The defence wasn't that solid though, we were conceding goals and we weren't scoring either.

Correct. We had the second worst defensive record when Malky was sacked.

Marshall was superhuman in many of the games we managed to get a clean sheet under Malky and were it not for him the average would be more like 2.55
After our decent run in August / September and after the Fulham game (Arguably our best PL performance under Malky) we managed to score only 9 times in 12 games under Malky, failing to score in 6 of them.
In our last 8 games under Malky we managed to score in just 3 of them, and took just 5 points out of a possible 24.
We failed to score in 4 consecutive away games to Villa, Norwich, Stoke and Palace. In fact we barely mustered a chance.
If you add the West Ham, Hull and Fulham games to those away games under Malky we scored just 3 goals in 7 away games against lower half teams, and took just 6 points out of 21. Not good enough and it will bite us on the bum I think as we have now been left in a position whereby we pretty much have to win all our remaining home games not including Liverpool and Chelsea.
We were in free fall and heading for relegation under Malky, that is undeniable.
Goaless draws and fistpumps would have not kept us up I am afraid.

I'd rather see the likes of Zaha, Noone, Fabio, Daeli etc playing good football than Malky and Pulis's anti football. For me is the squad continue to improve whether we stay up or go down, if Tan can afford it.

What a stupid post, what has this thread got to do with VT, one thing he has done and that is to provide his managers with a huge amount of money in the transfer windows something that pulis is not getting and not happy about at palace. When you say ole is going to attack our way out of trouble well that is right, that's what we need to do, i presume you understand that if we don't score goals we don't win games and under malky we were the lowest scorers in the premiership. do we have the right manager??? that will become very clear in the next month or so, the same applies to pulis at palace.
