[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

[GoingUp]

So Cardiff need to win both games now, hopefully they go all out and get caught on the counter.

 

[GT49er]

1 point. Better than nothing. No cigar.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Well done Chris and team ! Rebuild next season

Oh ffs do one.

 

[sydney]

strooooooooth ....!! dodged a ****ing bullet there......somethings gotta change though , this style of football is wearing ,wafer thin .

 

[marlowe]

"Come on Palace!" ... Just getting a little early practice in. Ooh, I feel a little bit grubby now.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Are you being serious?

Yes. We were the better side second half. If the first half was down to CH, then the second half was too.

 

[TSB]

That'll do.
Cardiff won't get 35. They won't get 34 either, mind.

 

[Chicken Run]

Because he’s older than Gandalf playing in our worst attacking side in 118 years! Keep up...

If hes older than Gandolf then I’m older than Yoda

 

[Icy Gull]

Well done Chris and team ! Rebuild next season

Really? What the **** was the first half all about?

IMO Hughton and his negativity is a BIG part of the problem in us starting games with such fear

 

[Kman]

Why don't we play with the same passion for the full 90?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

We got a point and I'm grateful for that but I'm probably even angrier for it. We played a second half blinder and why have we been missing that for 6.5 games? IF we had done that just twice out of those we'd have been safe. My view hasn't changed about an end of season change but we may yet see another season in the PL.

 

[sydney]

Bar the assist, Murray has had an absolute shocker.

Groß MoM

really should have won it for us....near the end , from knockys cross

 

[Cozzy]

Wish I could explain that , game of two halves or halfs , no idea what was said in the dressing room but someone said the right things.

Solly March MOTM and deservedly as his contribution changed the way the game was played but question has to be asked why didnt the team do that in the first half ? nerves , too scared , team orders or did they just freeze under the pressure.

Not convinced the first half formation worked even a little bit , thats if I could figure out what it was supposed to be , 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 , either way the players didnt seem to know what to do.

Great point and maybe enough , dare I say we need Palace to do us a favour and thrash Cardiff.

 

[Napier]

A much better second half, but it in no way made up for that shocking ineptitude in the first half. Cardiff need two wins to stay up, a point for us against Arsenal will make no difference. Relieved with the point, but so disappointed with the first half.

 

[portlock seagull]

Yes. We were the better side second half. If the first half was down to CH, then the second half was too.

Oh. That’s fair enough. But he’s still utterly out of his depth and despite the result we need to get rid of him ASAP. Tonight even. Thanks Chris but you’ve gotta go.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Well done lads, each game a bit safer, this pressure adds up!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Where the hell was that second half performance in the first?! Or in any number of games this season. Hopefully that's enough to keep us up.

I can't remember ever wanting a season to end so much before. A lot of changes need to be made over the summer.

 

[marlowe]

I think we're all unashamedly Palace fans for the day.

However knowing that lot up the road, they'll probably put in a stinker and hand it to Cardiff.

At least we don't have to hope they win.

 

[peterward]

Would take a point. It means Cardiff need to win twice.

Yep that's us as good as done now, even if we bag a draw somehow in one of next 2, still means Cardiff need to win twice. If they win next week it really will be squeeky bum time.

What's worse, is for 90 mins we're all palace fans.

Go on wilf, fling yourself, con that ref.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Who's happy now?
