[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

[mlg57]

I was looking forward to this game for a long time and then the worst thing in my life happened. I didn't actually feel it until after the Palace game and thinking that was for my mum, I was going to post it pre match but I didn't want to look like a drama queen. I have now been on the beer because I need to feel numb. Tomorrow it all sinks in.

Just remember all the good times

Think we can all agree the pen was clearly not a pen, however the performance by us was absolutely gutless. I'm appalled with what I witnessed last night. There was only one team who wanted that land you lot were the better team by a country mile in every department. We've lauded it before, me included but this time round we have to take our pill.We were schooled plain and simple. Hats off

Respect for being brave enough to come on after being let down by your lads so badly, time to sell Zaha and re-invest in the squad?

Up to the eye balls in FFP, no new stand imminent meaning no additional income. I would hazard a guess, probably. Cant score a goal and nothing on the bench to change the game after 6 seasons of PL football. Theres a lot of anger over that last night. Gutless

Fair play.

Strange how it started - Palace giving away a needless corner in the first minute put us on the front foot, and we never looked back.

With the exception of Zaha, Palace players didn't seem to 'get' the rivalry.

Not read whole thread so not sure if mentioned elsewhere but Bernardo's clearance off the line before the first goal (I think) was critical - whole complexion of game would have changed if he hadn't managed to do that.

Thought Propper was MoM but also mightily impressed how much Bissouma has come along. Earlier in season it looked like he had talent but made way too many mistakes. Last night, it was just the talent on show.
Andone was spectacular, I think Knocky has a competitor for the "Most wholehearted player" position.
Does anyone know how many passes we strung together in that move early in the first half? I reckon it was at least 30-40. Calm, controlled, awesome football.
Overall a magnificent display

Well done on showing your face this morning, very brave, not something I’d expect from a ‘typical Palace’ fan!

No one on here will defend that decision for the first penalty but Friend quickly made amends for you when Murray was bundled over for a clear penalty minutes later which he seemed to miss completely.

Looks like you’ll be splashing the cash in January! Do you think you’ll finish above us?

Thanks. Fair play for posting, most usually don't.

It was an out of control tackle and they are given. The assault on Murray was however stonewall and not given.

No, we were 2-0 up when he did that.

Obviously the morning after always has different feelings but no I do not. Last night was a hammer blow. I think you will continue along mid table wise and we will continue to flirt with the bottom 3. I can take losing but not in that manner. I hope the players and club absorb some of the anger coming their way. Bottle jobs. Anyway as previously said enjoy your time in the sun you deserve it. Peace

Really? Strange how the memory works - I was convinced that was before. Still, that would have changed the complexion of the match significantly as well - so still important

 

[Triggaaar]

Really?

Yep, you can see it on the highlights.

Yep, 2-1 in the first half could have caused some nerves.

Long way to go yet.

You didn't play well yesterday, but you're usually playing alright, it's just your lack of strikers that's a problem. You really should be getting someone in January, and then you should push on.

Anyway as previously said enjoy your time in the sun you deserve it. Peace

Thank you

Bissouma has made some mentally athletic clearances tonight. He is ****ing class.

What's being working class got to do with it?

I wonder how long the line
"and we've only got ten men"
will last? Smith must score is in the world history books, ten men will forever be in the Brighton history books I'm sure.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I'd forgotten Spanish Dave was there that night.

Superb

 

[Bodian]

Quite possibly the most excited I have been when stream watching rather than at the match. Behind the Sheffield Wednesday play-off, for which my cat still hasn't forgiven me.
