Dunk, March did well for first full game back from injury, Bent had 6 crosses from winger hit first defender or keeper or he would have scored. Tragic that Kaz & him will pass in the night

The Cherries do actually have a pretty decent squad. They have got a Russian oligarch in charge who has spent whatever the manager wants on players. I can see them sneaking into the Prem

Nice little local Premiership fixture for you Palace fans potentially next season. Do you think you'd go along?

From Bent to Barbour, mercenaries passing through infest the club we fought so hard for. Upstairs, individuals like Peter Godfrey strut around the board room, free of passion and understanding.

You've done big things in your life Tony Bloom. Do another one now.

Shit tools? No. He's using a pipe cutter to saw a log of wood.

Why is he playing Gardner and JFC in holding roles when clearly that's not their position? We have Ince, Rea, Agustien, Toko and Holla. Yes, some maybe crack, but that's their position.

JFC and Gardner can't defend for shit, so when our full backs are forward, our defence is majorly stretched.

The strikers get little to no service from the midfield that they drop into midfield to get the ball and which limits our chances. It's plain clear to see....

exactly. we've got a decent side not being put out. the manager seems to be playing some fantasy game where you play the "best" players, ignoring positions. in the top tiers you can sometimes get away with this, but here you need a fudging defensive midfielder in a defensive midfield position. the worst of this is you likely end up ruining good players who arent getting experience in their better positions.

Why he is a grown man who knew what he was walking into, and if he did not then his was foolish to say the least. He sold himself well at the interview and obviously promised some sort of style of football and results....... where are they...... NO ONE CAN TELL ME Rotherham, Bournmouth, Brentford and nearly half this league have better squads than ours. A better manager would have got more out of this squad. Do not feel sorry for Sami his previous managerial record speaks for it's self he cannot motivate a team clearly.

If you must feel sorry for people feel sorry for supporters who travel miles and spend a fortune on this shower of shite we are watching.

Been said before - The passion, desire and commitment from a loan player is ALWAYS gonna be less that a regular contracted player.

Did I hear the commentator say last night that we had to leave a player out of the 18 as we has maxed our loan allowance for match day selection?

The Cherries have two decent squads. Their owner and manager have a great trusting relationship that has been developed over years, and they have a philosophy that money cannot buy.

They got things right years ago, it didn't happen overnight, and are reaping the rewards now. They got promoted with a solid core built into their team and they came up to the Championship playing football the right way. Their first two seasons in the Champ is producing much better football than we did in our first two seasons.

Yes about right. Dunk was heroic. At one point he was lunging to get on the end of something in their box, then sprinting back and being the one to make the last ditch block at the other, while the loan players checked their bank balances or twitter feeds ... Awesome Brighton lad!

Totally agree. In footballing terms, heroic is about the right word to describe Lewis Dunk this season. The lad must feel like a one-man Alamo-style defence most of the time. And being top scorer by two clear goals going into Xmas just makes his contribution even more IMMENSE. So we'll probably sell him for thruppence or nearest offer in January and finish below Blackpool.
