I agree with your intimation. B&HA are on a bad little run but seem to be having terrible luck with injuries. I'm confident form will pick up dramatically when enough of the absentees return.

One thing's certain, Mr Bloom knows what he's doing. I would not be surprised if Fabian Hurzeler turns out to be your greatest ever manager. But I appreciate losing at home to the Croydon outfit smarts right now!
Not a chance

He might be closer to the sack than we think, those subs were very desperate people say Bloom gives time although he’s never spent £200m before.
Set plays are a mess, pressings a mess, defensively it’s a mess.
We had a kind fixture list and failed every hurdle shambles.

Minteh looked like a competition winner again. I know Tariq had a bad day but he had absolutely zero support from his right midfielder. Very surprised Fab picked him to start.
Lamptey was very rarely on the right kept going inside or staying to high up the pitch. Awful game.

There were a lot of competition winners out there today, including our captain.

Where do we function very well? There are problems and questions marks all over the pitch. That means it’s hard to fix.
I’m not saying it’s as bad as Hypia, or he’s as bad as Hypia, but take away some fortunate wins and that’s the most obvious comparison .
Anyway Let’s see how fab copes with adversity. If it isn’t the making of him he wont be here next season .

We all know Bloom won't do anything yet and will only think about it if we tumble down the table and face a relegation battle(which we won't). It's gutting to lose today but its the points lost against wolves and Leicester which hurt just as much. We're in a rut that's for sure and Fab needs to turn it around quickly before our season is over by January.

This result is a massive blow for Hurzeler. He will have lost a lot of the fans after this.

He really needs to get us out of this rut PDQ. He is potentially a few bad results from the sack now.

I don't think the great start of the season was fluke, but he needs to prove that he can fix some glaring issues which are costing us points, in order to demonstrate he is a Premier League quality head coach
yeah that’s the things. sometimes you go on a bad run, it happens, but with him it’s the same issues again and again. which is concerning

Hopefully learning a lot every day and eventually we can gather the fruits from it.

He's not done a successful rebuild which granted Potter a new contract almost immediately or helped the team to Europe which made us stick with an incompatible manager for last season, so I don't expect him to share the exact same level of protection as his predecessors. Tony Bloom will be scratching his imaginary beard if we finish below top 10 while also playing at our current level.

That said, every manager has had worse results from a run of games than this. Its to be expected. Not concerned about it. The quality of our football is however not what anyone wants it to be and this needs to start improving.

FT: Brighton 1-3 Crystal Palace

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Sky Sports: "The goals we conceded are too easy. You can't concede these easy goals.

"I think we showed a good reaction in the second half, we had some big chances but then the game is getting more and more difficult because they are getting more and more compact.

"It is tough but we have to learn from these things and improve.

"In the end we had the chances, I think the goalkeeper saved two or three big chances but we were not clean enough in the final third. We missed the killer instinct to get the goal.

"It is tough because we have had several of these days where we have to talk after a bad experience. You have to let these lessons teach you and find a solution."

We're poor defensively. Even Southampton second half tore us apart.

We might be pretty on the eye in possession for halves, creating chances during those passages, but that's only half the story.

Do you really think so? (Closer to the sack). Bloom will stick with him unless we're dragged into a relegation scrap but we won't be. We probably only need another 5 wins to stay up .

I don't think any part of our game is particularly good. Its hard to look decent defensively (not that we do) when the defenders have to face dangerous turnovers every minute because one of our 43 dribblers decided to fiddle too much with the ball for the umpteenth time.

Amazed anyone can think anything other than sacking him. Tactically naïve, poor team selection, can't motivate the team for 90 mins, has clear favourites despite poor performances, no style or identifiable system. He's just out of his depth and we need to cut our losses while we are still within reach.

I genuinely don't know how some people get by in life with such immediate jumps to panic/doom and gloom without even considering, you know, patience and calmness. It's so weird.
We've been average all season. Everton should have been 2 down in first 20 mins, Man Utd very lucky, poor draw at home to Ipswich before they started to show some grit, lucky to draw against Forest, battered by Chelsea, Spurs were Spurs, lucky not to lose against Southampton, well beaten by Fulham, dreadful game management against Wolves and Leicester, battered at home by Palace. Hardly lacking patience and calm, if we hadn't had a lot of luck in the opening few months we could be in a relegation scrap right now

I've not been convinced with us all season... Everton (a) aside, we've not won comfortably all season. There is no clear system, plus a lot of mental and tactical naivety. Plus throwing away points to Southampton, Wolves, Leicester, Forest and Fulham in recent games doesn't suggest we are Europe bound at all. Now I know we have injuries and Dunk has been shambolic all season, but we did spend big in the summer and the buck stops with FH.
