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

Annoyed.




Just annoyed by that.

 

[Marxo]

Crikey I was expecting another penalty against us before the end!

 

[stewart_weir]

Whatever anyone thinks that was a dogged performance, never gave up. Still guilty of overplaying but Palace were made to look very ordinary.

He's been watching Palace all day.

Wanted to get in on the going down easy party.

Problem is that Connoly will get a reputation for it! It will be the classic ' boy who cried wolf' and we'll miss out on a decision when he is genuinely fouled.

Will take the point

i’ll take a pint

 

[Seasider78]

Need to work on getting our shots off earlier all too often an unnecessary additional touch or pass

 

[WATFORD zero]

Well that was fun wasn't it ?

Why do we do it

Watching that I would rather be a Brighton fan than a Palace fan

 

[Hugo Rune]

Feels like a defeat.

For Palace?

 

[Poyningsgull]

They had one shot all game...it was the penalty.

So did we I think.

Once again, Atwell with the grand no penalty gesture to Connolly, more contact than the one he gave Palace.

Yep - hand on his back, more contact that Lampey's challenge. Yet no pen.

The inconsistency is infuriating. Mind you, if Attwell had given it you can be sure VAR would've overruled it.

 

[Beach Hut]

Pleased with that bar reckless Dunk

And the number of goals he misses out on by diving rather than getting a shot away.

If we can all see it why aren't our coaching team sorting it out. It can't be that difficult.

Very true but when as a player you see their penalty you must think the slightest touch and a penalty.

 

[brightn'ove]

Result papering over lots of cracks!

Not sure I agree. As a team that used to put out performances like palace did there, we know that it can frustrate even the best teams. We found a way back even after palace were handed a goal on a platter by Stuart Atwell.

Palace created 0 (ZERO) chances in that game.

Zero.

100% always better for the team equalising. So late on, must’ve been a body blow for the string-vest Nigels.

 

[Kosh]

Dunk could do with a rest, for me he's been 'off' for a few weeks. This might help get him back to basics and eventually back to his brilliant best. Not a disaster as we do have some superb CBs. As for the result, I'd have taken this AND the stats are massively embarrassing for palace:

Palace were awful (anti-football) and we should have won, BUT hey ho - it was never a pen and on another day we would have got the three points. Play like this against WBA and we'll be fine.

Rock on.

They're not even that good. Imagine paying to watch that steaming pile of every week.

More Connolly's momentum plus lack of strength.

No weaker than their penalty. No consistency with the ref or the linesmen.
