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

[raymondo]

I'm expecting a defeat.

Based off of how spawny palace have been against us the last few years combined with the ridiculous number of unavailable players we have anything other than defeat will feel like a positive. It's a shame because I'm confident a full/near full strength Brighton would batter them by a similar scoreline to that which Arsenal did.

As it is with no Mitoma, March, Enciso, Adingra, Fati, Pedro or even Milner we pose very little attacking threat and we've seen week in week out this season that we can't/aren't ever set up to defend. All adds up to defeat unfortunately.

That said, surely, surely, we're due an evening up of luck/karma. We've outplayed them for about 8 games in a row but never seem to get a win(yes, i know we did last season). Maybe this is the game when it switches and we smash and grab those pricks for a change.

Ferguson to score today... keep the faith,!

Victory today has the potential to propel the mighty Seagulls on an unstoppable run of joy that will take them to Dublin and European glory. Today of all days, we will not be druv….

I'm feeling Ferguson to score as well today,possibly Pascal as well.

Has the LUZZING commenced?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Did the counter

All very quiet….we’d normally have reports of ‘banter’ at Brighton station by now

loads of police outside three bridges station, Nigel’s are drinking out of town apparently

Mitoma comming home Japan out !

 

[Mike Small]

Karou coming home!

If Gross is on the pitch he will score or assist. Always comes through for us at important times!

 

[Lethargic]

Karou coming home!

Will he be back for the second half?

 

[napier's kit man]

Karou coming home!

Jahanbakhsh scored Iran's winner.

Think he’s looked very off the pace the last few games - and I absolutely love Pascal so don’t say this lightly. Hoping he gives one of those ambitious performances today

 

[papachris]

Mitoma comming home Japan out !

Alireza scored the winning penalty for Iran in the 96th minute

 

[Triggaaar]

Jahanbakhsh scored Iran's winner.

Is he joining us for the second half?

 

[OzMike]

Just going to bed now and expect to wake to find 3 more points on the table.

 

[jcdenton08]

Any idea who scored Iran’s winner? Does this mean Japan qualify - wondering about when we’ll get Mitoumo back

 

[Affy]

I’m banking on the fact this can’t be worse than Tuesday and I’m praying we see a big reaction. I don’t even care about the performance just the result. Come on Albion.

 

[Bakero]

Fati!

 

[Solid at the back]

Dreading today. Perfect time to play us, off the back of a good result for them, terrible one for us. Fear this could go their way. 0-3.

 

[jcdenton08]

Pity not to see O’Mahony on the bench instead of Baker-Boaitey… otherwise as expected. Pleased to see Fati back on the bench.

 

[The Fits]

No Eze and Olise on the bench.
Absolutely no excuses today.
