[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[NorthLainer]

So to go along with our heaviest defeat in 67 years, we now have Palace doing the double over us for the first time in 93 years.....

 

[Ethelwulf]

Unlucky lads, caught their goalkeeper on a good day.

Your joking right we were shit

Say what you like but the manager is out of his depth

Been saying it all season. A flukey few weeks papered over the cracks, but our manager is shit.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Good awful corner.

Honestly though. The push annoyed me the most, you know as a player they will drop with the slightest bit of contact, why on earth do you think it’s a good idea to do it in the dying seconds at a corner?

On another note, does anyone have the receipt for Wieffer?

 

[AlbionBro]

This one hurts more than Forest, Fabian panic subbing again.

 

[GT49er]

Palace used a concussion sub for Lacroix so that gave us an extra sub.

Thanks (and for a sensible answer, unlike some other prat!)

tbf Henderson has made a couple of great saves.

Always seems to be the case with the opposition. Meanwhile ….

 

[TottonSeagull]

Draw would have been fair. The difference was a deflected goal.

We did nothing to deserve a draw! Clueless 2nd half!

 

[barbus_max bhafc]

Season over, time to forget about this one.

 

[Flounce]

It’s easy when 90% of the shots are straight at him

He made saves, Verbruggen didn’t

 

[Weststander]

Fvcking players need to step up FFS!!!!

Missing key first teamers, the same as last season, it falls apart. But this time no one here can blame RDZ.

Squad lacking in key areas .... CB, RB, LB, DM. As pointed out by so many in summer 23 and summer 24.

Whilst we have 10's, goalies and wingers in bucketloads. Because the data shows their value signings.

That was a very poor game. We needed the 3 points today but not many of our players stepped up. Maybe 3-4 days rest and reset will do the trick for the next game. Very disappointed.

 

[Hometownglory]

Warren going mental on the radio at that performance

So he should. Embarrassing crap again. Three lackluster performances in a week. Not good enough.

 

[Mustafa II]

Wasn't a terrible performance, wasn't a good one.

Should have done better with a two men advantage.

Their keeper was the main difference today.

Going to avoid NSC tonight - as it will be utterly insufferable.

Looking forward to the next fixture.

Welcome back. After a couple of losses, that was completely unexpected

 

[GT49er]

The summer recruitment needs to focus on defenders who actually have pace. Any team with a fast frontline must love coming up against our sluggish defence. It does not matter how many great attackers you have if the team cannot defend

If our attackers were so great we'd have scored more than 1 goal in 300 minutes this week!

 

[The Fits]

Not great but it’s expected. Keep saying it’s sad, because it is sad, but Dunk has totally lost it. He was a captain who lead by example- that was his thing, he’s never been a vocal leader or a proper organiser- and that has been highlighted more than ever over this season. Now he can’t actually lead by example because he’s hit a wall.
We really need to get real about the priority we’ve had for a good few years now- defenders who can organise, who have pace and who can actually defend.
Such a shame after such a brilliant run after Forest.
Palace another example of a first team better than us. We have a really deep squad but we aren’t prioritising that sensibly and I’m not sure how much sense it makes. Hopefully this summer will be a chance to get in some proven quality at the back.
Still, that run was absolutely fantastic and bodes well for next season (signings dependent).

More like without Rutter we are toothless. Recruitment for the future and not enough that can really help the team now. The really laughable thing is people criticise how Palace are run. Their recruitment has absolutlely spanked ours the last 12 months.

What a terribly disappointing week of football. Ah well.

We weren't up for it from the start.
Even JC & Wozza were tearing what hair they have out, more in frustration.
No gumption.
