Burnley vs Brighton and Hove Albion ***Official Match Thread***

Disagree , we tried to win it all game

So were Derby , we cancelled each other out until they put on 3 attacking subs and we tried to soak up the pressure. Our only decent chance to get back in the game after they scored and force a draw was thwarted when the ref ignored a blatant penalty.

Good point, massive point if we follow it up with 3 at Watford.

March will make or break our play off chances IMO

We def need another striker in by then Len needs to be dropped and for some reason Obika doesn't start

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Do you think perhaps he meant Ulloa?

Indeed that was who the text was aimed at.

Palace fans are planning an European foray next season in the Europa League after beating Hull 1 nil.

 

[algie]

Excellent point. Very pleased with that. The next few days will define where we finish.

 

[Superphil]

Well is his current strike rate going to get us back in playoffs? So we don't need a Connor Wickham or similar to give us options? Jesus

How many games has he been back for? What is the required goal/game ratio for him?

I think we will beat Watford.
Not the same side now.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Good point but losing touch with playoffs.

We're in exactly the same position, 8th, as last year after 27 games, with just one point difference. We were 3 points adrift then, whereas we are 4 points behind, but with a game in hand.

Europe is stretching things but to be fair they are taking advantage of some dire form from Fulham and Cardiff etc. One or two others like Norwich aren't far off the basement either. The door has been left open and Pulis is steering them through it.

At least the Burnley fans didn't get a goal let alone a win and we made them look ordinary at home.

Hope we draw them in the playoffs.

Yes, but we went on a tremendous run in the second half of last season. It'll be very tough to do that again

We will start as red hot favourites in my book if we get them.

We will start as red hot favourites in my book if we get them.

Which would be dangerous - as we were red hot favourites against Palace before the 2nd leg last season.

Palace have just been benefiting from an easier run of fixtures. Apart from the home match v West Brom it gets a lot trickier for them from here on in.

Yes, still plenty of time for the wheels to come off the caravan......

Realistically they only have 2 games left this season where they have a chance of winning.

 

[Willy Dangle]

There were a few Albion in the home section.

Something to do with under 16 tickets not being sold on the turnstiles
Didn't really catch what was going on.
