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

[Hendrax]

60 seconds to go and we just pass it around the box 25 times
Classic

 

[macbeth]

at least we didn’t lose

 

[Krafty]

My prediction is right.

Apart from that, more negatives than positives from that match IMO.

 

[jimhigham]

FFS. 95+ minutes gone and we STILL stroke the ball about on the edge of the area until the full time whistle goes.

Still. They can’t go bragging about anything. Glad to peg them back. We all know who the better team was, and we were far from our best.

 

[American Seagle]

A fair result on 2nd half chances.

Palace created nothing first half. Not sure how a fair result isn't anything other than a seagulls win.

 

[Bodian]

Sigh - pleased not to lose but very frustrating also. Our games v palace are generally so painful to watch- so often follow the same pattern. Jammy fuckers palace against us

I hate watching Palace games.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Van Hecke shout would have been soft but feel any of the four pen shouts would have a good chance of being given to a home side. Or as a foul out of the box. We only need one ffs.

Cracking goal though and was too busy celebrating Showing why Welbeck was on. He’s been good alongside Buenanotte and a number of others throughout the side.

Arm across the body and didn't take the ball

 

[oldboyroy]

Deserved to win but for usual defensive howler. Take the point thanks to Danny but 2 points dropped for me.

 

[jakarta]

Why can't we play like that in the first half?

Oh well another win in Score Predictor Table...

 

[El Turi]

Fair play. De Zerbi really turned that around in the second half and we would have won if it Brooks hadn’t screwed us over again with that bizarre free kick he gave them at the end.

 

[Si Gull]

Another point. Another Silly goal given away. Much better second half.

Sums it up. Poor first half that should have been 0-0. Much better second half that on another day would have given us a winner. At least we didn't lose.

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

Much better second half. That could have been much worse but for an absolutely sublime header. Welbeck does that a lot.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Phew. Never, ever lose a derby.

It's not a derby, it's a rivalry. Apparently

 

[Dr Q]

RDZ not looking ‘appy

 

[Bodian]

Steele having a go at Henderson there.

 

[maltaseagull]

Once they scored it looked more like 2.0 to them. Once we scored, it looked like 2.1 to us.

 

[trueblue]

If only we could look for those forward passes before we fall behind. Very frustrating when you know they can do it. So many good young players though - just a shame we’re having to use too many at once. Future’s bright.

 

[jcdenton08]

Much better second half, point gained for me considering how dire the first half was from us. Welbeck looked a man possessed and Buonanotte was excellent

 

[peterward]

You know the whistle is about to blow, there's under a minute left of injury time, but still sideways, back, sideways back. Until ref blows for FT

That last minute sums up a massively frustrating night.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Palace are every bit as bad as Sheff U and Burnley.
