Yep, thought Greer had a corker tonight. Only reason I marked Ulloa down a point was that he gave ball
away twice in a key area that lead to a dangerous Scum attack

Nobody played badly. Hammond and Ulloa will rue those missed chances and Calde gave away a stupid booking that gave them a way back into the match. Bridcutt immense, Bridge classy, Spanish busy, Buckley a brilliant 45 mins.

Greer was immense tonight.

Kuszczack 7. Did what he had to do efficiently.
Calderon 7. Silly yellow, but did well against Zaha and managed to also contribute to the attack.
Greer 7. Some really good defensive work. Solid.
Upson 7. Class.
Bridge 8. Gave the ball away once in a dangerous position, but generally up to his usual very high standards. Great attacking threat particularly in the 1st half.
Bridcutt 9. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Hammond 7. Shame he couldn't put the chances away, but great to get into those positions. Deserved a goal.
David 7.
Orlandi 7.
Buckley 6. Just didn't happen for him.
Ulloa 7. Some great hold-up play, but didn't get the rub of the green.
Subs:
Lua Lua 5. One of those days when nothing went right.
Barnes - not on long enough.
Crowd 9. Thought we were great, but the abuse of Murray when he was injured was sickening.

I don't like giving ratings for TV games, because I'm usually also on the Internet at the same time, and the camera tends to follow the ball so you miss the runs and options other players make that for me is important in rating their performance.
Having said that
Hammond was our best attacking player. Constant threat getting everywhere. If only he was able to finish last night.
Bridge easily handled Zaha.
Calderon struggled with Zaha, and I don't think it was all down to the yellow (bridge would stand off Zaha, let him collect the ball and turn. Hen close him down, whereas caldy got too tit to Zaha who was able to flick past him into space or turn him)
KLL was frustrating. He seemed hesitant on the ball, and at least three or four times it dropped not too far from him, but he just stood there and stared at a ball he could easily collect as if the whistle has gone and play has stopped.

Thought that defensively we were very solid. Greer, Upson and Bridcutt in front of them were immense. That is now 5 goals conceded in 10 games with Greer and Upson together.
For the second leg, we need to get Lopez on the ball more. Thought he had a quiet game and Ulloa got limited service as a result. Buckley was very effective first half but didn't get a look in second half.
Overall, good team performance. If we can keep another clean sheet on Monday, then we will have a great chance of winning (maybe even by a couple of goals). The first goal is going to be key!

That was a fantastic tackle as we were in a bit of trouble then. Also made a great interception on the edge of our area when Palace threatened to breakthrough.

Come on!
All 6 except Bridge and Kush 7 and Bridcutt 8
Kuszczak - 7 Great save from the header in the second half. Silly booking.
Calderon - 6 Zaha running at him scared the life of me. A couple of sloppy moments but otherwise fine
Greer - 8 Been a different player since playing alongside Upson
Upson - 8 Colossus
Bridge - 8 Dealt with Zaha so well in the fist half, great going forward
Bridcutt - 8 Another dominating performance
Hammond - 6 Was everywhere but had to do better with the header and has seems to have got into a habit of letting the ball bounce one more time before dealing with it and it nearly got us into trouble a couple times
Lopez - 7 More assured game from SD, some great interceptions to start attacks and can't remember him giving the ball away
Buckley - 5 Poor game from Buckley for his standards, seemed to be trying too hard, culminating in inexplicably dribbling the ball out for a corner
Ulloa - 7 Held the ball up fantastically well but should have done better with the header
Orlandi - 6 Some good moments but tried the complicated thing a number of times which didn't work

Liam Bridcutt will be playing in the Premier League next season - he's earned it. Hope he doesn't have to move clubs to do it. Andrea Orlandi needs to cut down on the Cantona-style flicks - too many went to the opposition. Having said that, our flair and some of our one and two touch stuff, particularly in the first half, made me very proud of the team. Has anyone said that there's all to play for yet 
Player ratings (Albion):
Kuszczak 8 Got the balls, if not commanding, but no protection from the referee
Calderón 7 We knew that he was deficient against Premier class wingers
Upson 7 Dealt with the physical challenges
Greer 7 Not that much to do skill wise
Bridge 8 Superb, even better than usual
Bridcutt 8 Steady as normal even allowing for the tame opposition
Hammond 7 Box to box, but finishing was poor and shooting from long range was a waste
Orlandi 8 Very skilfull play, better than usual
Lopez 6 Unforunate disappointment, his job was to create and he didn't
Buckley 8 All the chances came through this route and only stoppable by fouls, service to him was below optimum
Ulloa 6 Missing chances, and getting offside
Total 82 slightly below average
LuaLua 6 Over eager and not on long enough
Barnes NR
Ref: Oliver 4 Awarded lots of fouls but did not give Kuszczak and Buckley protection for persistent fouling
BBC Sport - Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
Entertainment level: 6 Albion started brightly and then the game flattened to an even contest, struggling for half chances few and far between because of inadequate attacks rather than strong defences.
Good: Albion well balanced and dangerous both on left and right, at least potentially as the final ball went astray.
Individually it was not that bad, just a very average sort of performance. The left side was very good in midfield at times, mostly the first half an hour.
I expect one or two Albion changes for the home game to exploit the Palace weaknesses at full back.
