Disappointed that we didn’t take our chances, but we gave it a good go in the second half.

Brighton lost a game of football because the players gave away 3 awful goals.

The BBC couldn't believe the standard of our defending.

Let's not pin this on Murray or any forward/creator.

We let a basement team put three shocking goals past us in one half.

How many teams, away from home, go on to get results in such games.

Whatever division we're in come May, I'm sure there'll be some additions to our squad. All the talk of Dunk and Duffy walking together into the Liverpool or Arsenal teams was laughably premature.

So was Murray on the cusp of going to The World Cup.

It was what it was - Palace shaded it over all - as most of us would have expected. But we fought hard after a shitty start and we should stand proud with how we finished the game. If Palace want to get all gleary about this result - they can't really after scraping it for the last 25 minutes. Our lads gave it a go because they knew what it means and we should appreciate that.

Really been dragged into relegation mire now. Oh well, only Spurs on Tuesday!!!

Don't worry.I'll be there! Coming over especially.

Last game was Birmingham in the Championship April last year.
Only ever seen us lose once at the Amex and that was Palarse in our first season there. FFS Murray!

Very disappointed. Genuinely think we are in danger now

Sometimes your feet are weary,
Sometimes the way is long,
Sometimes the day is dreary,
Sometimes the world goes wrong;
But if you let your voices ring,
Your care will fly away,
So we'll sing a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea.

Lots of positives to take from that second half. Palace have spent five seasons to get to that level - a level that saw them hanging on at the end. Take this result on the chin because I think our future is brighter. Arthur Wait 2 could become a millstone (hopefully)

Rrrrrrrrriiiiight, talking utter shite.
It's not really fair to b in and Murray.. Our defence and midfield went to sleep three times. We, still have this annoying habit of allowing teams a huge amount of space in the last third while we jog around aimlessly pointing out people to mark .

We always were, once we failed to beat lowly Hudd at home. An unpopular thing to say, but in each fixture post Hudd we were/are big bookies second favourites so a clean run of LLL's is quite possible and it started today.

Praying that Stains and Stoke have no luck.

After Huddersfield bookies still had us at over 20/1.

You can still get 14/1 if you think we’re going down.

Why? Score the pen against Leicester and we get a point if not win the game. Tap in from two yards and we get another point.

If we do go down then it's moments like that we will look back on as opportunities to stay up.

Was it his fault too, that Duffy gave the goal away last week, was it Murrays fault for the dropped points against Stoke, Everton etc?

Defence has cost us more than attack this season. Last three games do not a season make.

I'm very positive that Tuesday will be a good night for the albion.

And that Leicester will beat Southampton midweek as well.

On the right day we are more than a match for any team - especially at home.

I think that some players seemed a bit overawed by the occasion today in the first half and just couldn’t get a grip of the game. The greyhound especially. But conversely he could play a blinder on Tuesday.

Bring it on!
