Brighton v Palace play off

Sussex Nomad · Apr 14, 2013

So, the ever more likely scenario that we play Palace in the play offs, how do people feel about it? Tell you how I feel, sick to the stomach, because we might lose.

Who is excited by the possibility and who is dreading it?

We have the form, but I don't think that counts for much come the play offs. I, whatever we end up doing, expect us to be in the play offs, that is foregone in my own eyes and my own holiday will be put on hold.

Palace in the first round? I just know it'll happen.

Absolutely the best result would be Palace in the semi.

3rd are likely to be Watford who are fantastic on their day, capable of beating anyone easily. If they had started the season even moderately well, would undoubtedly be in the automatic places.

6th are likely to be Bolton who are the most in form team in the division and have a squad full of Premier League players.

I'd far rather play a team who are bang out of form, with a dodgy defence and whose stars haven't put in a performance since Christmas.

Bring em on please.

Oh and have you forgotten the result from 3 weeks ago already?

I think Watford will win the play offs... hope I've jinxed them.

Well said.

Totally agree

downham seagull · Apr 14, 2013

Would not be surprised if we overtake them and finish 4th. Which by my calculation will be Friday at their place then ours for Monday night( can't see us playing on Sunday due to pride weekend)

BUTTERBALL · Apr 14, 2013

We've got to make sure we get there first. Worry about stuff like this after we have played Wolves.

c0lz · Apr 14, 2013

The best result would be palarse to lose their remaining games and drop out of the top six.

bristolseagull · Apr 14, 2013

Dissagree with the OP- form is key, Bolton are clearly the danger at the mo. I'm confident we'd beat palace over two legs.

Agree Bolton are the form team, but have you seen their next 3 games?

Leicester A
M'boro H
Cardiff A

palace does look possibly the most attractive possibility at the moment,
tho' the thought of losing it.............(it wouldn't happen),
as said above tho', lets just make sure we make it into the play offs first

What pride weekend? I was thinking the police would insist on playing Thursday/Sunday.

Whenever I start thinking about who I'd rather we play in the play-offs, I tell myself to stop thinking about it. What will be will be. Lets just get there!

I agree one game at a time? :drama:

I understand that Brighton occasionally throw it away or break down in games that we must win or want to win, but even though Palace are higher in The League you always need a bit of optimism.(hell I think we are going to win the playoffs!) This game is pretty unpredictable but try to back your team to win if its against Palace mate... that's IF IT HAPPENS (and it probably will). Seagulls! :ascarf:

So,at the sharp end of the season,after untold threads and countless replies,we have the prospect of playing a team we expected to get relegated at the start of the season and which has hit the slippery downward slope just at the right time.

Game on !

Is the correct answer

Difficult to disagree with this right now, even better if we can nick 4th from them and get the 2nd leg advantage

StillHateBellotti · Apr 14, 2013

Not another trip to that dump surely! :ascarf:

Tummy Burger · Apr 14, 2013

When was the last time a team that finished 3rd, actually won the play offs ?. At least it does not happen that often I believe.
