I agree with the OP. When we begin to get pressurised, we resort to Plan B i.e. hoofing the ball long to players who have no height. Plan B has to be creating space and making sharper passes. Our way of football should be able to breed this. With the current players we have, this needs to be...

Whilst I haven't seen any of Ipswich's goals today and don't think the recent bad results are Casper's fault, I noticed this at the Liverpool game. Shots that come across his body, or come at any kind of pace, he just doesn't move. It's like watching a rabbit caught in headlights. I don't think...

I agree, but surely this is Gus' plan. I fail to see how Poyet could keep allowing Ankergren to do this for whole halves at a time a la Leicester and Palace and not tell him to stop doing it. This Plan B is certainly not working, but I really don't think it's Casper's fault.

I didn't go today so I'm just going to presume the reason we lost are more or less the same reasons why we lost at Leicester, were 2-0 down against Leeds and lost to Palace. We've got to close players down. It was okay at the beginning of the season when Championship sides didn't know how we...

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Calderon is definitely up to Championship level. He is superb going forward and defensively okay IMO. Goals like Leeds' first weren't prevented without Calderon in the team (i.e. Palace's second). The midfield are too porous at the moment and aren't relieving the defence. Defensive clearances...

Sounds good but looks difficult to start if we can't even get to grips with the North Stand song. Has anyone got a video of Cambridge doing it, as it'd be easier to imagine it happening if it was in English?

28 arrests. I didn't really expect the total to be any lower than that, but it easily could have been much higher. Imagine if the game had finished 1-1, with both sets of fans staying til the end in a gripping contest? Or if Murray hadn't have scored the third which signalled a mass departure of...

Selhurst Wonderland , do you have verbal diarrhea tonight?

Whilst I don't think we'll finish anywhere below 12th, I do have my rose/shit tinted spectacles on at the moment following seeing us get absolutely dominated by Leicester and Palace. When the passing game is closed down, we just get pushed deeper and deeper back and crumble, with Plan B being...

If we adapt the lyrics to 'We are Brighton, Brighton, Brighton etc' and everyone starts singing it then people will love it. Fact. When Palace sing it, despite their shit lyrics, it sounds rather good. And it does for us when people make the effort to sing it.

Cheeky.

I like this. Shame it didn't come before Tuesday, but hell, sounds good (with the stripes version - save the weeds version to when we play 'em at Selhurst)!

Just shows how much of an unprofessional prick that man is. Pitiful excuse for a pundit. There's one thing celebrating a Palace win, and there's another actively goading Brighton fans when you're supposed to be a professional. This is why he'll never even step foot in the league of Lineker...

I'm still hurting too. The manner in which we lost still infuriates me when I think about it.

This would be class. Ankergren does not inspire a lot of confidence whatsoever, overcomits himself and dives too early at the wrong time, then doesn't dive at all when needed. But he is not the main problem. It's up to the defence and midfield to ensure we're not under the cosh for 70 minutes...

This is what worries me. We're losing the battle in the midfield and this is where the passing football is breaking down. If Ipswich start closing down the passing, like Leeds in the first half and then Palace, I don't think we have the strength to restart it in the midfield against Bowyer and...

f*** those arrested, I want to know why I haven't been sitting next to any of these supposed 'stunners' over the past 2 months? :glare:

Haha I know, it's brilliant. His response to me was simply 'moron' - proving my point that he doesn't know anything about our history. Amazing how some Palace fans can make themselves look like complete retards, even though they won. :facepalm:

This this this this this.
