[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

That was a fantastic finish. Hodgson must be delighted. Plan worked to perfection.

 

[portslade seagull]

Burn done by pace again

 

[portlock seagull]

And that’s how you finish!

What I don’t get is they did it without 32 other clear chances before, and without any of the goal frame involved in at least 30 of those efforts?

This could be a long long night!

Now let's see what we are made of......

 

[Weststander]

The time wasting begins.

 

[RandyWanger]

And that's the difference. Were so poor and wasteful in front go goal.

 

[smeariestbat]

Inevitable, unfortunately

 

[bluenitsuj]

Maybe we will think about attacking now rather than just passing left to right. Same old story

 

[Mike Small]

We’re going to let them off aren’t we. Been clear since the first minute. We’re quite cowardly aren’t we. Brave at times but it’s benn clear in our passing since the first few minutes. Burn should have fouled. White bullied. Embarrassing. Maupay and Trossard are more of a hindrance than anything. I’d take them off now. Right now whenever the ball comes into Maupay he looks lost. Gutted.

Got to switch it up and start playing other strikers. I know he works hard but Maupay just has so little threat. At least Connolly is a pain to play against.

 

[BBassic]

Chill out lads, a few more passes between the back three and we'll be laughing.

 

[portlock seagull]

This could be a long long night!

Already is! The best we can hope for is a draw now given our goal scoring record.

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

When was the last time we scored 2 goals in a game? We just don't score goals. 70 odd percent possession and we will be lucky to get a draw. Maupay has to be dropped - he can't score goals which is as fatal as a pub with no beer.

 

[Mancgull]

Played right into their hands. They will love this, sit back, defend, hit us on the break, as we get more anxious. Just like last season.
Poor from Burn for the goal.

 

[London Irish]

Plenty time left to get our usual draw

 

[Weststander]

Done down our left hand side you say who’d have thunk it

So often the weak side this season.

 

[barmyarmy]

Maybe we can stop passing it side to side around the back and actually attack.

 

[Disciple]

This has been awful so far. Possession with no threat and back being naive. Ffs we were playing really well with tempo and speed through the lines. Now we're playing back to ponderous shit again. How has Potter not learnt from that spell?
