Atleast now...

We can say we gave it a good go, even if we do go down. I love SCP but I do think Jose coming in has saved us. We've lost to Burnley and Derby, I can deal with that but these wins really are fantastic. Ps - Ben Hamer, you ABSOLUTE LAD

    Riga hasn't saved us. He's done a very good job since coming in but he's not saved us. A change was very good though.

    Lets not start that old chestnut again. Move forward together is the key, lets enjoy the rest of the season.

    Powell got a 3-0 defeat to Doncaster with a apparently stronger 11 then what Riga has..

    Riga got 6 points from Leeds and Forest away.. says it all

    And Powell got 3 points at home to QPR whilst Riga got thrashed 3-0 at home to Burnley. And Riga only got a point at home to mid-table Huddersfield whilst Powell got 3 at home to table-topping Leicester. Can continue this all day long if you want, doesn't prove anything either way though.

    It was the anti-Powell people who were screaming "move on, move on" within hours of him going. I liked and still like Powell but he's gone, rightly or wrongly, so we have to move on.

    We could call it the south stand?

    Even the Club uses the right name now. Taken the best part of two decades but we got their.

    I really don't get this insistence from various people that we should "move on". Powell's departure is still a relevant subject, particularly as many of us have concerns about the long term future of the club under Roland's ownership, and Powell's sacking forms part of that wider issue.

    Does "move on" only apply to the departure of managers and players, or does it relate to any decision relating to the club that some supporters disagree with?

    It's a good job that there were so many people who didn't just say "it's done now, best to move on" when we moved to Selhurst.

    But when people are posting things like 'CP would have got the same results' it becomes just as grating as the 'move on' comments.

    Although I have not been to too many matches, it seems to me that the biggest difference between CP and Riga is that we do not go on the defence to hold on to the 1-0 lead now.

    Exactly.

    Judge Riga good and bad on what he does. We don't need to keep saying "We would have lost that under Powell" or "We would have won that under Powell".

    We can never tell what might have happened if Powell had stayed so it all guess work and can't be proved either way. WHo knows who Powell would have signed given the chance or who would have got injured/sent off.

    Riga's doing a good job, we are edging away from relegation, we are three wins away from staying up IMHO. Back the team and the manager.

    It doesn't mean, in my view, we can never discuss Powell or anyone else. But what is pointless is saying "we would/wouldn't have done this or that under Powell" as that is guess work.

    And that works both ways for those who are trying to justify Powell's sacking and those defending him.

    No, it clearly doesn't relate to other decisions such as moving ground, ST prices, crossbars etc as they are still live and can be reversed. And as we proved were reversed.

    Yeah, I agree that that argument is a bit tedious, whether it's from the "Powell would have done just as well" perspective, or the "Powell would never have got those results" perspective - there's no way of proving or justifying either argument. But any mention of Powell seems to provoke certain people to sending out "move on" instructions.
