First 15 minutes tomorrow

[Hyperion]

Now, it seems that if we get an early goal, more often than not we go on to give someone a bit of a pasting.

I think it is really important we come out flying tomorrow and not end up chasing a goal (or more) as we tend to get frustrated.

I would personally like to see us start with Barnes & Ulloa this time and use maybe Agdestein as a back up plan for the forward line on the bench.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Think they'll come at us like a steam train tomorrow ,We need to watch the shirt pulling as Battenberg would've seen that on tv Friday night.

 

[finlaych]

This is the same with every game for us

Last win after conceding first - Doncaster at home last season
Last loss after scoring first - Blackpool away last season

 

[Seagulls1984]

Think we can brake their hearts with an early goal.

 

[MissGull]

A repeat of the wolves game would be good. We left it too close to the break on st Paddys day, don't think my nerves could take waiting that long for a goal.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I read that we are the only club in the league (this season) to not win a match from going behind (we always hear that one!), but we also haven't lost once going ahead - the doom merchants never mention that one.

 

[Beach Hut]

We need to blow them out the water in the first 15

Was not aware of that 2nd stat.

I just hope we get off to a flyer or at least be up at half time anyway. Won't fancy us at all chasing a goal

I hope Clattenberg also noted Jedinak using the elbow and forearm when he jumps for headers.

An excellent point - IF , and I say if, we score first and in the opening 20 minutes I think it might be payback for the 5-0 spanking all those years ago.

In boxing terms Palace have a punchers chance but they will be coming to a place where only 6 weeks ago they received a 3-0 thumping and they are coming with a lesser team than in March. No Murray, and Williams and Zaha carrying injuries. Everything is in our favour and very rarely due the odds get upset.

Come on the Albion - I think it's our time

 

[mrbigshot]

When was the last time we won a 7:45 kick-off at the Amex?

 

[Conkers]

When was the last time we won a 7:45 kick-off at the Amex?

27th November - Bristol City

 

[mrbigshot]

27th November - Bristol City

Of course. I was struggling to remember.

 

[brightonmark1234]

if we haven't scored in the first the crowd will go quite

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

27th November - Bristol City

That is a horrible statistic.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The first MINUTE? Ok mate.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I just hope Clackerberg realises that Jediak has got a dodgy barnet, and is actually nothing more than a dirty, poor man's Fellaini (hairstyle-wise) who needs an early yellow card to keep his incessant fouling in check.

 

[Titus]

and use maybe Agdestein as a back up plan for the forward line on the bench.

But he's not in the squad.

 

[Hyperion]

But he's not in the squad.

Oh. Is he not?

 

[Mowgli37]

I'm hoping for a Blackpoolesque game
