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

[Leekbrookgull]

Well after the last two games, if you want Europe best try Ryanair. No chance of BHA cutting it on this roll. As for comments like the next three games etc just win the one in front of you and currently we are not.

 

[portlock seagull]

F off.

No, you f*** off. Like you did for the Grand National, yer plastic.

 

[A1X]

Warren going mental on the radio at that performance

Wasn’t it at Minteh, Baleba and Adingra for going down the tunnel on the whistle?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That's absolute bullshit.

FH's ceiling must be really high because his current ability is very questionable.

How the f*** do you put out a team twice against palace that is so f***ing clueless and limp? They had nine men and we created one chance.

Congratulations, the process has given Palace their first double over us in nearly a f***ing century. Well f***ing done.

f*** me that's shit.

Beyond repeating the word f*** I'm basically speechless.

f***!

 

[Charlie Livesey]

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.

The game obviously meant a lot to them, they are celebrating like they have won the Champions League!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I just keep wondering what would have happened if we were 2-1 up and got two sent off in the last 10 mins. We would 100% chuck the game away wouldn’t we.

How can we have that gift wrapped for us and cock it up so badly?

 

[Bridcutt]

Is 8th good enough for Europe? Have Fulham, Palace and Bournemouth right behind us but 3 winnable games next so if we get points then we'll be alright

 

[Mackenzie]

What a terribly disappointing week of football. Ah well.

Hopefully next week will be better. A win will lift us all.

 

[macbeth]

Can’t have any complaints about that. Created next to nothing for the entire second half, us having numerical advantage for large proportions of this. Bunch of bottlejobs who don’t know what to do when the going gets tough

 

[oldboyroy]

Injuries haven't helped but, the summer spend was as much about bringing in players to cover injuries (squad depth) as much as making them better to sell at profit. Minteh OK , Georginio good and Gomez not bad but the rest, not good enough.

 

[El Turi]

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

There was nothing in that game. There’s no way I watched that and thought palace are a better team than us:

 

[twickers]

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.

Agree, fire up the BBQ, stroll in the evening sun, mow the lawn, take out the recycling, count the tea bags...anything but the inevitable NSC doom implosion

 

[Weststander]

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

Webster and Rutter hobbling off was season changing, many here said it at the time. Dunk sadly has had it, the PL is brutal for slow CB's.

 

[One Love]

The game obviously meant a lot to them, they are celebrating like they have won the Champions League!

We saw that with their players' performance on the pitch.

 

[hart's shirt]

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.

It's almost like a player farming approach to recruitment in certain areas whilst ignoring other less profitable positions has clear flaws when injuries come.

 

[Hometownglory]

The game obviously meant a lot to them, they are celebrating like they have won the Champions League!

Because they've just done the double over us, only a few points behind us with a game in hand and in the FA Cup quarters. Quite alot to be celebrating.

 

[Jeremiah]

So in less than a season FH has overseen us suffer our worse defeat in 70 years and our first Palace double league defeat in 90 years. That's some going.
With 11v9 we created nothing , so predictable that we would then get a player sent off (think Newcastle in the Cup). . Just hoping Villa can beat Palace now.
Safe journey to our fans home.

WA ain't happy on Radio Sussex.

 

[Zeus]

There was nothing in that game. There’s no way I watched that and thought palace are a better team than us:

5-2 aggregate score really suggests they might be

 

[El Turi]

The international break has stalled our season. However, we now have a week to regroup and a favourable fixture next Saturday. No need to panic yet.
