If we were playing ANY other team with an away record of P4 W1 D0 L3 F4 A6 and who lost away at the bottom team 2 days ago, I would be confident of winning.
BUT......
It's Palace, so I'm scared shitless we might lose. I simply cannot bear the thought of losing the first game against them in our nice shiney new stadium. It would be soiled.
Please, please win Brighton.
Palace won't turn up and will be overwhelmed by the occasion and get steamrollered 4-0. They simply won't be prepared for the atmosphere, the stadium or occasion whereas we have settled in quite nicely. Gus will quietly but firmly prepare the boys for this match and will demand nothing less than a mullering of the Croydon no-marks. Obviously I'm in the confident camp.
