We asked if you agreed with Crystal Palace fan Ollie Thomas that the Eagles should consider a formation change if they want to avoid a relegation battle this season.
Here are some of your comments:
Lewis: Change the formation from 3-4-3, to maybe a 4-3-3. The three-man defence doesn't work.
Paul: Definitely agree we've looked vulnerable for a long tim. Change to a 4-3-3 please before we are in a relegation battle.

Dominic: Has to change the formation and strengthen midfield. Too many runners through midfield where we end up with five attackers against three defenders. Give whatever system we played at Leeds another go.
Jason: We need to make a few changes - formation and leadership. First, shore up the defence by changing to four at the back. Put in an extra midfielder to play a defensive role in front of the defence to help protect them. We need a leader on the pitch. As much as I like and respect Adam Wharton for his skill, he does not provide the leadership on the pitch we need.
Stephen: There is no wrong formation. I doubt whether any trainer would get a tune out of this squad. Our best two defenders left and they were replaced with Chelsea cast-offs and sick-notes. Pierre Sage, so far, hasn't been able to pick a stable defensive unit. That said, tactics using the basic formation seem wildly off attempting high pressing and exposing the defenders.
Colin: The manager should be able to make tactical adjustments, including formation changes, when circumstances dictate. Playing away to an in-form Brighton side is a case in point! I like that Sage is trying to play an expansive game, but we can't be doing that in every match. If he can't see that then he needs to go.
