Judging by the reports in the local press the only decent result you've had is against us. We're still above you and it's worth noting that our current player of the seasin (Central Defender Adam ElAbd) has been out sinec the end of last season. Are we making excuses ? No, Are you boring and pointless ? Yes, very much so. Go and find a Lidl to loot.

Pssst you've lost more games than us and are lower in the league as it stands.... Did you know that?
Beating us does not make you a top six side, as much as that defeat does not make us mid-table fodder. I said it before on the night, and I say it again, my annoyance and anger with the defeat to you was that we were not beaten by a 'better team'. Yes you deserved it on the night, but you are deluding yourself if you think that what you have will make you into a top six team.
And before you say it, most Albion fans will quite happily take 10th - 14th this year, anything else probably disappointing, anything higher a bonus.

Yes fair and square, even if we did give our worst performance under Poyet you played well and deserved it.

Don't try and explain things to him. He is criticising our ability to beat teams like Posh and Doncaster when Palace lost to them both

He seems right about the defence really, though Dunk is worth a lot more than 500k, and Greer is solid.

Good point well made
. I've said elsewhere that when they beat us it's the only time they have had a decent mention in the Evening Standard. Seeing as I live closer to Palace than any other team I still get far better and bigger reports about both Millwall and Charlton. Even Bromley Town get more coverage than Palace.To be honest, for all intents and purposes our derby has been their cup final. Even the visit of the 'mighty' West Ham has generated less coverage.

As a saints fan, I can't see being palace fan as being something to shout about. Brighton will finish above you, and when we nab Clyne off you in January we'll be finishing well above you.
The thing I like is that, apart from Cardiff away, we haven't aaaactually played very well. We are 5th. Palace are acting like they are having their best season ever. They are 12th.
Now what was that old saying...when you don't play well but still pick up wins you are a....bad team? Oh wait, gooood team.
Oh and by the way, the second half v the looters was basically defence v attack. The defence kept out until the 10 minutes. I don't think the defence is the issue.

Give Croydon Bloke the benefit of the doubt on this one. He asked a legitimate question, one that we Brighton fans ask ourselves, I'm sure.

i wouldn't say our defence is suddenly crap. Once we cut out the individual errors & learn to close down defences better the clean sheets will come thick and fast again.

We've lost THREE games. Yes, we've beaten shite like Donny and Peterborough who just happen to have already beaten Palace this year. Yes, we need to adapt (another thing that all promoted teams have to do). Our best defender last season is on his way back from injury, we've got our own youth set up, we'll spend in January and we'll loan players. We'll be fine thank you very much
f*** me, a win against us (who we are repeatedly told, are a small club in your shadow) and a draw against West Ham and you're suddenly worldbeaters. I wonder how long it will take the wheels to come off your latest revival. I'll give it two games.
So?.........we never said we were going to piss on this tin-pot little league, did we (unlike Scumhampton). Sure, we were felighted / elated by our start, and quite rightly so - W5, D1, L0 - but taken that as the form for a season, no way - no team has ever gone throught this league (and probably not many others, excepth the SPL) with a record along the lines of P46, W37, D9, L0...it'll probably never happen.
Many of our team are not experienced at this level - some will rise to the challenge, others will find that League 1 is their limit - so what's odd about that? Without 4 points being thrown away by conceding last minute equalisers, we'd be higher up than we are now (and I'm not complaining about where we are now!)
We're doing OK! The good ship Gus is well on course - only surprises have been walloping Cardiff away, and blowing it against some mob from Croydon at home.

You have to laugh don't you.
Enjoy your last hurrah, you lot are like King Canute trying to stop the tide coming in. Your bragging rights are coming to an end. You may have delayed the inevitable, bit you cannot stop it.
