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

[Washie]

Locadia and Goldson for Murray and Duffy please, willl never happen as Chris seems to love them too much.

 

[jimhigham]

Cup game doesn't really count though. This game far more important.

Thanks for that. Helps.

 

[BN41Albion]

We only have ourselves to blame for being back in the scrap. We've looked a shade of the side that beat arsenal ever since

 

[WATFORD zero]

Oh crap. I wonder how many points we might have had if we'd gone for it in the last fifteen minutes like we did today?

Quite a few less than we would have lost

 

[soistes]

I understand why it’s called the Arthur “Wait” stand now. This is tedious

That was a good game apart from the result.

 

[maltaseagull]

Ulloa for Gross......bl**dy hell, a change of formation! Oh, I'd love this to work!

Well we deserved a point from that in the end.Such a shame we were so rubbish for the first half. 2nd half was almost the same the other way.but without the goals. Credit to Stephens for still being effective without another card.Duffy should be banned from the other team's half.

The only blessing today was that Southampton lost from a winning position. I think we'll still have enough to stay up, even if we don't win another point this season (which I can easily see happening)...

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Takeaways for me.

- AGAIN our defence lets us down on set plays. How many more times!?
- I hate saying this. But Zaha is so good. Couldn’t cope.
- We took our chances well and showed some guts to get back into it.
- surprised by the sub. Hoping Murray isn’t starting to become un-droppable in CH’s eyes.
- Duffy needs to learn to head a ball. I can’t imagine many more players in the PL have missed more headers from corners.

Yep - I think we'll be alright

 

[WhingForPresident]

Seems our players thought it was job done after the Arsenal game. Total shite since then.

 

[bluenitsuj]

We will be fine. Just chill.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

If only Duffy hadn’t totally f*cked us over against Huddersfield

If only Murray hadn’t missed a penalty against Leicester

I'm not entirely sure what those games have to do with today's.

But if we're doing a seasons worth of if only's we could be here for a while...

 

[Shooting Star]

Murray has been great for us this season, Palace have been building in the Prem for some years, it's not over.

Agreed. Sounded like an exciting game on the radio and I'm personally impressed we had the spirit to fight back twice from two goals down and give ourselves half a chance. That's very un-Albion like away from home this season.

We'll get the point or two we (might) need from somewhere. Onwards and upwards!

 

[SeagullDubai]

We played well in the 2nd half as Palace burnt themselves out. If not for our ageing strike force we may well have nicked it.

But Southampton are playing much better and have some winnable games.
I think you are right though, just.
Odd thing is that no one is even talking of us going down, apart from NSC.

 

[Si Gull]

There will be unexpected wins for relegation threatened teams vs top six in the remaining games. At this point I just can't see it being us

Missed chances and poor defending. I thought it was a theme.

 

[Weststander]

Love Murray but wow today's miss and those 2 penalty misses.

Brighton lost a game of football because the players gave away 3 awful goals.

The BBC couldn't believe the standard of our defending.

Let's not pin this on Murray or any forward/creator.

We let a basement team put three shocking goals past us in one half.

How many teams, away from home, go on to get results in such games.

Whatever division we're in come May, I'm sure there'll be some additions to our squad. All the talk of Dunk and Duffy walking together into the Liverpool or Arsenal teams was laughably premature.

 

[swd40]

Glen Murray could have relegated us with his performances and misses in the last few games.

Rrrrrrrrriiiiight, talking utter shite.
