They recovered from a poor start to play some sparkling football this campaign. Then they recovered from losing their manager mid-way through the season, a transfer of their star winger (even with a loan back, could have had a destabilising effect), losing their top scorer, and having a terrible finish to the League season (which perhaps shows the competitiveness of this division). To come back from all that and win the Play-Offs with three clean sheets.... takes some doing. It would have been an injustice if Watford had won on their nothing performance today.
Crystal Palace have shown the character and resilience it takes to get promoted from this division. It's going to take the same kind of character and resilience from Brighton to recover from the hole we're in at the moment. Heaven forbid me to say this on NSC but we could actually learn something from what Palace have achieved this season. We certainly don't have as far to go to become a promotion side as they did at the end of last season.
