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

[Greg Bobkin]

Haven't we had today's quota yet ?

Never!

 

[Triggaaar]

It's not dissimilar from the first half, only difference is that we haven't scored.

It's not been a great performance really, Palace were just shite in the first half.

That's not how I saw it, we just seem to be happy to sit on the 3-0 lead and stopped all urgency.

They had a good chance to make it 3-2, but we improved after that.

This. Dropped into second gear for a while after HT.

There was no need to keep playing but their goal did wake us up

Anyone seen footage of the You're Fcuking Shit song? Please share if so. Need a new ringtone.

I feel so much better now, Tuesday has disappeared and I can go back to all the football pods and watch MOTD.

We didn't play Tuesday

We totally schooled the scum today and showed what a class team we are - they deserved nothing and got nothing. So good to see their so called fanatical supporters pissing off back where they came from thinking more and more about relegation - absolutely loving it

 

[Triggaaar]

After that wonderful home win, I'm off to watch Simon help Côte d'Ivoire in their AFCON quarter-final match v Mali.

Who's with me?

.

Guy scores the winner at the end of extra time, and then gets sent off!

It's breaking down the opposition in the final third where we struggle. It took two incredible assists, and two headers, to get the goals today - but if it wasn't for the scoreline, you wouldn't be saying that this was a top performance.

We've played better in some games where we haven't got the result. I can understand why it's difficult to look past the scoreline when assessing a performance though.

I agree with you generally there, there are times when we boss the game but don't score. Today we did both, so I think that makes it a good performance.

Sometimes we've been too easy to defend against, but I think that's largely down to missing March, Mitoma, and Adingra on the wings, as well as people like Encise and Fati through the middle.

We didn't play Tuesday

yes we did.

 

[Triggaaar]

A free header early on from a corner which is a surprise and the low block tactics are in trouble. A crazy 1 minute where 2 goals are scored and the game is won. Otherwise it could have been another frustrating game
But that's the fine margins in a game, the Paace header for 3-1 may have been a winner if that early goal hadn't been scored,

I'm sorry, but that's just plain stoopid.

Yeah, if we didn't let in any goals, and scored more, we'd win the league.

 

[Triggaaar]

yes we did.

No we didn't

Yup, defiantly hit a flat spot for a while

Us getting the score that the gulf in performances has deserved has been a long time coming.

I loved the 'you're fukken shit', 'we want you to stay' and 'give us a wave' efforts.

 

[birthofanorange]

No we didn't

Well, if you mean we didn't 'play', yes...but there was a match.

 

[chickens]

Speaking for myself, I feel a hell of a lot better after that result, though I have caused concern for my welfare from pedestrians in central Cardiff as I punched the air and high-fived my partner in the middle of the high street.

Some things are worth being profiled as “care in community” for.

 

[Oh_aye]

I couldn't believe how many of the "best supporters in the league" seemed to get lost at half time and never found their way back to their seats. Perhaps our signage needs work?

Never mind half time. They were streaming out on 35 mins

 

[Midget]

Ahhh. After Tuesday I really needed that

Us getting the score that the gulf in performances has deserved has been a long time coming.

I loved the 'you're fukken shit', 'we want you to stay' and 'give us a wave' efforts.

Pretty sure when we were singing the first one just before half time, they were joining in with 'we're fukken shit' - can anyone nearer the south confirm this?

You're a Palace fan?

Reverse psychology….
