And villa and saints... Until we went down to 10...
First half of this season has been the exact opposite of last. Similar points total but last season lucky not to be 10 points + worse off, this season could/should be 10 points + better off.
What a transformation under GP. Only hope the second half of the season is the complete opposite of last season too......
This. Gone are the days when I go to any away match and know we're probably going to get hammered.
Now I feel every time that we can win. Can't believe I said that.

New Brighton fans will say two dropped. The old Brighton in me says point gained because, well, typical Albion ain’t it?

1957-58 Brighton fan here says two dropped. How old do you have to be to be 'old'?

100% two dropped.
We dominated for 70+ minutes and were one up. How can that be anything but two points dropped?
It's been a recurring theme this season but one that points to a potentially fantastic season next year if we can get our recruitment right in the summer.
If I was a palace fan I'd be mightily relieved at escaping with a point and furious at the team for being so passive, listless and gutless for the vast majority of the game.

2 dropped.
But the 1 man in that 1 man team can do that to anyone.

Graham needed to make the subs he did 5-10 mins earlier, not doing so cost us two points. There were ominous signs we were flagging a bit, on 60 mins we crossed the ball into the box and there was no one there, why? A few mins later we crossed the ball into the box again and there was no one there again, why? On 65 mins bissouma was cramping up due to his lack of game time and needed subbing sooner rather than later, he wasnt, why? on 70 mins zaha got down the left and nearly scored but we got away with it, so we needed Duffy on to double up on him but he brought him on after 77 mins after he's already scored.
I'm not speaking with hindsight we were screaming at him in the pub to give us some help from the bench but he couldn't here us! Why no one in his backroom staff didn't realise too we needed some reinforcements I don't know.
You can't keep up that amount of superb effort and lovely football with the same 11 in a derby game for the whole 90 mins unless you're man city or Liverpool and we arent. Shame but overall it's extremely promising for the future and we will get over it - to be so disappointed when we haven't even lost a game away from home is great progress

2 Dropped , Palace were turd in the first half and we must punish teams when we're on top like that , won't have had a better chance than last night to bag another 3 points away from home , not even bothered it was Palace , any team who plays like that for 45 minutes deserves a tonking so not a happy bunny today , in all honesty it's the first time the team as a whole frustrated me this season , for some reason the players were just a bit too timid busting a gut to get in the box , strange as we've been very good at filling the box on attacks this season , i guess it's another point on the board but it's becoming a regular theme that we create plenty but score few , a 2.19 Xg away from home is a Man City stat , we must convert these chances , other than that it's superb football to watch .

I'd have taken a draw before kick off, the performance was a bonus.
Amazing what Potter has created in just 210 days. Imagine how good we will be when he has a squad full of his own signings.

Surely this is click bait.

CPFC were no where in this game for 75 mins, should have put the game to bed earlier.
Palace have a habit of getting more points from games than they deserve
Defo 2 pts dropped

Yesterday morning we had 19 points. Today we have 20 points.
Could haves and maybes don't count in the league table.
1 point gained.

2 dropped. We should have buried them.
That said, Last season, we parked the bus for Southampton at home and lost. This year we are dominating every stat going at Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle as well as in Jamie Carraghers words 'making Liverpool hang on'
I'll take that any day of the week. I did say earlier in the year Potter was either a genius or madman. He's a genius. Enjoy him while you can.

2 dropped.Dominated for most of the match.To have that many shots on target and only get one?
Ordinarily away from home I'd say point gained but this was definitely two dropped, we smashed them and still couldn't win
