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

[FloatLeft]

BTW... there’s an issue on the Brighton line which means a train has been cancelled at wivelsfield and everyone has to get on the next train which will go to Brighton via lewes. Could cause a right pain in the proverbial.

So much for the famous Selhurst atmosphere... First half decent but they had a lot to shout about, second half could only hear our fans

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Are you absolutely certain that you support Brighton, or would you like to own up.
You also put in a very poor performance today.

Yes massive Brighton fan and have been since 1989 thank you very much Mr Sanctimonious. And like any massive Brighton fan should be, I am massively pissed off with that abject performance today.

 

[Peter Ward]

Keep the Faith, We wunt be druv.

Just refuse to make it easy for ourselves, at every given opportunity.

 

[Durlston]

Not good after three weeks of personal hell health-wise. Was hoping today's result would cheer me up.

I'm preying, just preying we can get 3 points on Tuesday. Nothing to sodding lose.

 

[Weststander]

So was Murray on the cusp of going to The World Cup.

Yes, that was cringeworthy too. He's a good PL striker coming to the end of a great career.

A vast improvement 2nd half but unfortunately the damage had been done. We missed Propper so much that CH must have looked and realised, if he didnt know, that a cover for him next season is vital. Also good to see CH make positive substitutions to try to rescue the game. Final point all on Final Score saying that the win today has virtually sealed Huddersfield staying up which is good for us as they are behind us on goal difference,.

The worst possible run in now. I was hoping we would have had an extra six points by now.

Hudd at home, was our BristolC at home a year ago, moment. After that, in sport it's hard to reignite momentum.

So how in gods earth was Locadia taken off today rather than GM ? and yes I understand the defensive aspect but when we were really going for it

Locadia’s opportunities are going to be limited until he’s prepared to put in a shift, that covers ALL of the jobs asked of him.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Meh Palace hang on for dear life and survival - good for them. Looks like we''ll both be able to do it all again next season. Bring it....

yeah, have to agree with that. Left the greyhound very exposed today, but a fantastic through ball for Jose to score our second.

Was it his fault too, that Duffy gave the goal away last week, was it Murrays fault for the dropped points against Stoke, Everton etc?

Defence has cost us more than attack this season. Last three games do not a season make.

Only 10 teams have conceded less than us but only three teams have scored less than us.

It's our lack of goals and in particular our lack of clinical finishing that is our problem.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Have not seen any of the game so can't comment on individual performance but others comments on here about Murray beggar belief he has performed a lot better than anyone predicted. A lot of clubs would have liked him in their team. What is worrying is that other than Izquierdo we don't seem to have any real goal threat and that includes the 2 January striker signings.

 

[Peter Ward]

I think we're pretty safe. For Stoke or Southampton to overtake us they both need 3 wins from their last five games. Two wins and a draw would not be enough for Stoke and for Southampton only if we lose ALL of our next five AND let in a huge number of goals as our GD is much better than either. So with WB there's safely three below us.

 

[Weststander]

It was mentioned on SSN after the match.

Before today's game, 5Live and TalkSport relentlessly mentioned us as very much in the relegation mix ... and quite rightly so.

Too few points in the bag, with nightmare fixtures, to be safe like Newcastle etc.

We don't create that many chances to be fair. . I'm wondering how we compare in terms of our conversion rate. I would imagine it's fairly high. If we are, able to get a couple of very fit, pacy and skilfull midfielders for next season that could change the dynamics.
