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

[Don Tmatter]

As Fab told BBC in post match "we didn't win personal duels". To me, that's Palace wanted it more than us?

Well that’d be down to him then wouldn’t it?

 

[pigmanovich]

He loves a personal duel does young Fab, almost as much as his, our process and the trust.

I’d like to know why the process has seemingly regressed… it’s having an impact on my trust levels.

Yawn

 

[Kosh]

Yawn

Hilarious

I mean, pure gold.

 

[Right Back]

The positive is that Palace will never make Europe. The way they play will only take them so far. Villa will beat them at Wembley.

The same against Forest. The likes of Mitoma were Ryan Harley-esque. Unforgivable.

Not at all - I see it as we simply didn't 'win' them, nothing at all to do with the 'will to win'.

It’s okay, you weren’t to know… football meant so much to us together… I’ve found it hard to be around it since he passed…

I saw the home game though, probably one of worst displays of the season.

Glad we put it right toda… oh, yeah… sigh.

Sorry for your loss fella, Albion are a big reason my dad and I bonded when I was a moody teen. Hope it gets easier for you.

Reminds me of Guy Butters

That can only be a good thing

 

[portlock seagull]

Least Fab didn’t hide he said basically we didn’t play well and Palace wanted it more now his job to work out why and try to learn and make sure next time we play Palace we are up for it

He sounded like an MP, stating the bleeding obvious about getting back on track whilst behind him a mushroom cloud still dominates the skyline.

I wouldn’t bet against them finishing above us again and possibly in a European place.

I think you need a good shag. *

*No, that's not an offer.

Well now you've done it.

Be right back, popping a tenner on Palace to win the cup and qualify for Europe

Not at all - I see it as we simply didn't 'win' them, nothing at all to do with the 'will to win'.

But he also said he'll analyse why we didn't win those personal duels and try to do something about it?

We weren't very good today. We still could have got a point. The early goal disrupted us. We miss Rutter. Wieffer needs to improve a lot. The situation is not as desperately bad as some are saying but we need 3 good performances and at least 7 points from the next 3 games to get everyone back onside.
Fab isn't a crap manager but he is still learning.
I want to see Ferguson upfront next season with combinations of March, JP, Rutter, Mitoma Minteh, Welbeck and Adingra.
Baleba and Gomez as the midfield backbone will be fine.

Ferguson up front? Really?

4 points behind with a game in hand. Every chance they'll finish above us

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Very correct, Dear Friend, very correct

Load of overreaction on here.

Having a dig at Hurzeler is laughable imo - we're 8th in the league and all the clubs above us are much bigger than us (bar forest who are still historically far more successful than us). It's been a mixed season performance wise but blimey 8th in the league at this point is very good in FH's first season ffs.

Shit week of football, but weather's absolutely glorious and set to continue for a good while yet, down at the beach all afternoon today and BBQ tomorrow... who gives a f***!

 

[birthofanorange]

Of course he'll say that, but mostly (aside from a draw) there are winners and losers in every match. We didn't play badly at all - look at the stats.
It simply wasn't to be today, although many were shouting from the rooftops when Welbeck equalised.
Fickle doesn't cut it with me.
That said, I'm gutted we lost, but I do resent the (apparent) suggestion that the players 'don't care' - that's absurd.

I don’t want Adringa at this football club next season, he has no fight in him, luckily I don’t think he will be.
