HAHA. "Palace fan who doesn't know anything about the Goldstone/Archer/FansUnited whatsoever and thinks their administration problem was the same" shocker.
Whilst Palace fans on this specific thread seem to be complete cocks, there's no denying we were outplayed for 70 minutes, as happened against Leicester. Any Brighton fan who denies this is not doing the team any favours. There's something wrong when the passing game is broken down, and Gus and...
-----------Ankergren------------
Calderon---Cook--Greer---Vincelot
---------Bridcutt--Navarro--------
Noone-------Barnes------Vicente
-------------CMS---------------
If Barnes isn't working, either replace him with Hoskins, or move Vicente in just behind CMS and put LuaLua on the wing...
Hey Jude sounded unbelievably good pre-kick off yesterday. Absolutely electric.
My favourites are Albiiiiiiioooooon and We are Brighton, without a shadow of a doubt.
Both of these players play well when we're on top and dominating, and prove painfully inadequate when we're under the cosh. The midfield is what turns games and the tempo around, something we desperately needed last night (and against Leicester). Dicker kept misplacing easy passes, and Harley...
Whilst I don't agree in some calling him a 'muppet', because let's face it, Gus had been absolutely brilliant for us and I love the man, he should have learnt his lessons the moment we lost at Leicester. Last night's performance was extremely reminiscent of the one a week and a half ago against...
In short, yes. When Plan A (tika-taka, or whatever it's called, flowing, passing football) works, then no. CMS is a more lively and better goalscorer than Murray, and Barnes is probably on par. But when Plan A fails, and we deploy Plan B, which at the moment is giving the ball to Ankergren who...
Don't worry, I went into the loo in the West Stand and some twat had flooded the toilet and pissed round the whole ring, rendering it unusable. Not sure why people can't control their privates or clean up after themselves.
Why don't the North Stand just change the words?
How can we expect to sing it properly and in time when the first line is inclusive to JUST the North Stand. Palace's version did sound brilliant last night. Why? Because they all sung it as it refers to Palace, not just one stand.
NSK, if you...
Like many of the players, he looks good when it's going well (i.e. the set up for the CMS goal) but when we need him to do the simple things to steady the ship when it's going wrong, he can't make a pass to save his life. He's got to be cut from the starting XI. Not good enough. Our main problem...
I was only 10 when the 5-0 defeat happened, and whilst I was a season ticket holder then at Withdean, I don't actually remember it.
But last night surely has to be worse. The expectation for us to win was enormous. We've finally turned the corner as a club. New stadium, finally have some money...
Like many have said, the crowd respond to what's going on on the pitch. I don't think it was a game too far for the fans; the atmosphere in the first 20 minutes was electric. I didn't go to Leeds but I haven't quite heard that volume of noise pre- and post- CMS' goal at the Amex; it was rocking...
Left after the third too. After the second we got up and stood by the exit, the moment Murray hit the back of the net I was off. Wasn't going to add an hour to the journey home to see Palace celebrate. In this case, even if the trains were brilliant, I'd have left after the third. Hopefully it...
A lot more respect for Murray last night, very class act considering the amount of stick he got (me included) and shook LuaLua and other players hands at half time.
We don't miss Murray whatsoever when we are on Plan A; passing football. First 20 minutes we passed them off the field, and Murray...
I would like to see two wingers, just because I think we suffered when we just had one against Leicester.
The only significant change I'd like to see is Vincelot for Painter.
