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

[Questions]

‘Re-occurring theme’

Yep

 

[twickers]

In a word...impotent.

We're supposed to be pushing up the table according to the plans.

Then again our offseason should have let us know that wasn't going to happen.

I think that's the long term view, hence all the U23 signings 'for the future'. In the here and now I'm fully expecting another relegation scrap to be honest. Nothing this season so far has changed my mind. It's great to be lauded and applauded by many on TV and radio about the lovely football we're playing, but the same was said about Fulham 2 seasons ago, and Bournemouth last season. Look what happened to them.

I for one would be happy to see us win ugly.

We are better at football. Crystal Palace are better at winning

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Why do you bother?

****ed if I know.

Habit formed over 35 years sitting up very late following the games

 

[TottonSeagull]

The main issue is that Palace have been very poor and we still can’t break them down. Unfortunately Potter and his unwillingness to learn will be taking us down come May!

 

[Weststander]

Opinion of Maupay cemented today. Too slow, thinks too slow, takes too many touches

He’s has an absolute stinker. So far.

 

[Washie]

Maupay has been Palace's best defender, Lamptey refuses to defend, march keeps making the wrong decision, bissouma has no strength.

I’m not sure we are being lauded as such. They see through us.

Soft as shite. Like the striker problem, our constant failure to employ some hard as nuts players season after season seems to cost us again and again. ****ing sick of it. Powder puff. Green and naive. And excuse led. It’s in our club dna though. Not just th players but the fans. They’ll be out excusing yet another defeat post match. All bad luck, VAR etc. Same as against Everton, Utd, Chelsea...and completely ignoring other teams of our stature get results. Ducking hopeless trying to point this out to the same old excuse happy losers mind.

 

[Motogull]

Standard 'smash and grab' from Palace. As usual for them, at home not away.

What a pissant club.

 

[hitony]

Can we have a good delivery PLEASE

I find JUST EAT and DELIVEROO pretty good

 

[Ethelwulf]

Thank god our fans are not there to see this shit

 

[GoingUp]

Lamptey is getting hammered today, team obviously target him every week.

‘Re-occurring theme’

Yep

It's getting painfully tedious

 

[junior]

Is Potterball going to put us in the championship?

 

[fruitnveg]

He’s has an absolute stinker. So far.

I honestly don't think he's really been good for 90 minutes in any game i recall watching. He's not a bad player, but I don't rate him. Today has just given me a reason to say it aloud.

 

[Weststander]

We are better at passing and possession. Crystal Palace are better at winning

Adapted for my view.

 

[Gabbafella]

Yet another toothless performance. Ruined early by the ref but still nowhere near good enough.
I'd rather watch us play crap and take the points than have 80%+ possession and lose week after week.

 

[portslade seagull]

How is that not a foul on Lamptey, it was an assault from behind
