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

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Im not impressed with Undav. He was played because the manager thought he was a better link up player than Ferguson, but he only managed a 45% pass completion rate and he just looks like he's not in sync with the rest of the team.

Do you know that was the reason why he started, has there been a quote? Ferguson is coming back from an injury

 

[Albion my Albion]

Should of kept.

Should of this, should of that...... if should of's were candy & nuts it would of still be spelled wrong.

 

[Originunknown]

So it was your fault!

I did think today would be different but we fell back into that familiar struggle in the 2nd half, on that clogger pitch against a team with little ambition.

I think if I was a Palace fan tonight, I would be thinking we are light-years away from Brighton at the moment.
They must be gutted about how good we are.

I’ve just had a peek at their BBS forum. Very downbeat with our dominance with consensus that we’re streets ahead of them in every aspect.

Every time we play this lot

A player we should have never signed slow as Murray without Murray’s qualities.

Lll

Are we having a 'most stupid post on NSC night' again, only I never got the e-mail

Why do you think that Sanchez didn't cost us 2 points today?
Check your spam box.

Yes, the manager said so in his pre-match press conference.

 

[maltaseagull]

Plus all the missed chances….

But without that ridiculous mistake it wouldn't have mattered.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Notice de Zerbi going straight up to Sánchez as soon as the match was over with consoling words? Class. And we just know that he will back his player publicly. It was a terrible howler, but it wasn't the only mistake that cost us the two points we deserved. He'll know he screwed up. Some of the comments here about him are way over the top from people who never made a bad mistake themselves? Hopefully, he'll learn from it.

Warren having a good go at a caller who was moaning about Sanchez's howler, pointing out all the missed goals/opportunities.

 

[AlbionBro]

To be fair a quick look on their board and they do acknowledge this and that they are very poor. Let's hope the others at the bottom can rise above them.

Great there is every chance they will be grabbing for the Kleenex for a different reason tonight then.

 

[Originunknown]

State of their pitch too

 

[Icy Gull]

Sorry, I am struggling to accept that Sunday League lower tier error from Sanchez, of all the games FFS

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

But without that ridiculous mistake it wouldn't have mattered.

Or we scored one of those multiple missed chances and the Sanchez howler wouldn’t have mattered either

 

[dolphins]

On Radio Sussex, Solly said it was points dropped, but RDZ seemed really pleased at how we played.

Someone on radio 5live said MacAllister missed at least 5 chances…..

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Yes, the manager said so in his pre-match press conference.

Well, I agree with you then. A few nice touches but looked off the pace in tight spaces

 

[Icy Gull]

Keeper saved most of them, shame our keeper couldn’t even catch a cross, which is pretty well all he had to do. I am fuming

 

[nsclurker]

I'd love to know which halfwit Police commander thinks it's safe to hold all the away fans back and then release them all in one go to create a crush at the station. f***ing idiots.

 

[Eric the meek]

It was a howler by Sanchez, but many of the outfield players made mistakes as well. Caicedo gave the ball away early on. The difference was that his mistake didn't matter, whereas Sanchez's mistake cost us a goal.

Don't bury him. All keepers have off days.

Remember Will Packham? Our third choice keeper years ago at Withdean? He was about to catch a tame shot, but was planning his throw out afterwards. He took his eye off the ball, let it slip through his hands, gifting a soft goal, and he never played again.

It's tough being a keeper.
