We asked for you to tell us one thing that is not being talked about enough at Crystal Palace at the moment.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: I've noticed the lack of patience with from fans, who are expecting instant success, after our run at the end of last season. We've lost a couple of first team players, bought in new players like Daichi Kamada, Maxence Lacroix, Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah. They need time to settle in, particularly the ones without Premier League experience. Keep the faith, people!

Rich: Matches this season have felt like expectations will get us through matches. The end of last season was built on hard work, understanding the system and our pace when pressing. This season the energy is missing and while the new players are bedding in, they have not met the high standards the players we've lost set. I'm positive Oliver Glasner is the right man and we will improve.

Bill: This time last year we were four points better off with a supposedly inferior side. I think it was wrong to sell Joachim Andersen and we should have cashed in on Marc Guehi. I don't think Kamada is any better than Jordan Ayew. I believe Jean-Philippe Mateta had a "purple patch" and will revert to the form he had in his first two years. I'm also unsure of Glasner's tactics.

Martin: Have no clue why we sold Andersen. He was the rock at the heart of our defence and now we look vulnerable. That uncertainty has spread through the team. Selling Michael Olise was a given, but Andersen??

Matt: I think the winning run we had at the end of last season seems long gone. I'm seeing nothing of Palace this season like I saw last.

Steve: Our passing accuracy has slipped this year. Our defence is looking vulnerable too. I was optimistic after the end to last season but my hope is slowly evaporating as replacements are not looking like enough for the Premier League.
