Oh this is such an easy question for me. Walsall away in 2009. I have a good indonesian friend who had just moved to the UK and settled in Walsall with his wife. When in Borneo I always banged on about the Albion and promised to take him to a Brighton game one day. Perfect opportunity...

I'm drunk :p "our starting eleven is relegation fodder". Honestly, this is supposed to be a fan of Brighton? Each to their own I suppose, but the mind boggles

OK, I'll take him off my ignore list, you're right, I'm just one irrelevant bloke. Just hate it when I see someone spew so much bile about the club I love, it's not what I come here for

I think if we focused on your bridge we'd never get to mine. I think we have to suffer days like today to truly progress.

.. with the reserves knocking United out of the cup for good measure. And fair play I say, it's good to dream and set your expectations high. I want that to. But with these expectations firmly set, and put clear inability to achieve it at present, how do we go about it? Buying a team is the...

You want a team that can occasionally get something out of difficult away fixtures? Yeah, that can be done, but I want more than that, I want a team thats consistently competing in every single one of these fixtures. How to do it..? Hmm I might start a thread to ponder it..

No one does well away at those clubs. There is the odd result which stands out, but overall no one does well. Palace right now have a style and players that can get those smash and grab away wins more readily than anyone else. But that same style also produced their laughable home record and...

.... Isn't working perfectly yet.... you have to concede that four games isn't nearly long enough for a manager to rip up his game plan....

We have a young and relatively inexperienced side. We CANNOT expect them to produce great performances every week, there will be off days and mistakes. But the promise is obvious and exciting and the good moments becoming more and more frequent, the overall performances improving. Every 90...

like everything else, its a work in progress I guess. I like that this team and manager doesn't step back - they believe in what they are doing and that it will pay dividends in the end. Fair play I say

Don't take a step back. Just learn, improve and do what we are doing better.

Palace did beat United away last season - at the eleventh time of asking. They lost their first 10 away games to United in the premier league. Overall they have beaten Manchester United twice in 23 premier league games home and away, the same number we have managed in seven games.

I assume the plan is to put the ball in the box, but not direct from the first kick, but allow a bit of movement and let someone find some space. Didn't work on most occasions, obviously, but its a tactic I think we might see more of. By the end there was one good ball from Bissouma that Dunk...

We haven't been good at defending the counter ever since we got promoted. Under Hughton, and still today, defenders get drawn towards the guy with the ball and towards the goal line, and we are finished off with cutbacks to a guy in acres of space in the middle of the box. Happened time and time...

You may have noticed that this forum is covered in posts bemoaning our defending of set-pieces, and how much we are lacking in the air. With that in mind, why would just swinging the ball into the box have any different impact at the other end of the pitch?

They were very impressive. Their style is very similar to ours, but didn't make as many mistakes on the day. Top of the table and James is a player

This is definitely one of my take-homes - we need Dunk to step up more, he needs to really take on that leadership mantle with Stephens gone, he has to dominate that penalty box at set pieces with his voice and his leadership

I wanted to respond to him, but couldn't think of anything else to say. Sometimes its just not worth arguing with a certain way of thinking. You know, I come on a football chat forum to discuss football, and I'm sure most of us kind of assume that the people we'll interact with have some...

oh please. Yes we could sign the likes of Hendricks and Wilson - or keep Stephens and Duffy - play a different style, still lose away at Goodison, and then what? Wheres the progression, wheres the development, its just lower premier league until we eventually get relegated. No thanks

and place on ignore list. Shame, you used to be one of the better posters on here.
