Would you take a point now to guarantee avoiding the heartache that defeat will bring, or go for it: Death or Glory?

[Albion] Palace: take a point now?

I don't want the heartache of 80% possession, leading by a single goal until the 900th minute of added on time and they equalise

I wouldn’t worry our possession stats are nowhere near 80%.

I am heading into this game with my mojo extremely low, but you can stick that guaranteed point where the sun don't shine, we can take these f*ckers (or vice versa) UTA!

Just the equaliser in the 900th minute, then...regardless on the 'position'

What I want - a total pasting, 3-0 up at half time, four more goals second half, a 7-0 spanking. Lovely. That's what our footballing superiority deserves.
What I expect - first half domination, but fail to score, players become increasingly anxious, fans losing their poop. Palace break away in the 93rd minute and slam one in off Lewis Dunk's backside. The unwashed behind the goal go (more) mental. We go home sad and defeated in the pouring rain. The trains don't work (again) and the car parks are gridlocked. Arrive home late to partners asking what the score was. Dreadful.
So yes, I'd happily take the draw.

It's bound to be a point given how we struggle against relegation threatened teams.
You overlooked the post game one way system failing, but otherwise all likely to occur

Your support is not that great
If Palace are 2-0 up at half time there's a reasonable chance we'll win the game.
If we're 2-0 up after 80 minutes there's a reasonable chance they'll get at least a point.
Still working out which way to vote, based on the above.

A poor target ! We should at least expect the same as the BHA youth team achieved .... 10-0.

It would be nice if just for once we didn't struggle against such teams. I think we just need the Palace game to complete the set don't we?

Since when did we become the Brighton side that went into Palarce games with the defeatist attitude we’d settle for a draw?
This is Palarce!
Geezus - I know our side loves to lose it’s bottle when we have a 2:0 pin cushion but let’s not lose ours before we even start - especially against our historic rivals.
Balls, people, big balls.

Although at some point we are due two bad halves, let’s hope it is not on Sunday.

I think I probably would. They‘re playing quite well at the moment and we’ve become a bit of a soft touch, I can imagine the home crowd being very subdued and nervous which will also lift our opponents. Yes a point would probably be a decent result as it is, although I’d love all three.
Sorry.
Sorry.

To be fair, our last game against Palace came mere DAYS after our 4-0 loss away at Luton, which in turn was preceded by two goalless draws in the league (plus two thrashings of gash sides in the Cup). Didn't do Palace any good!
