Brighton vs. Crystal Palace match thread

Lovely goal. My only criticism if you can over a goal is that Sarr had the whole goal to aim at but he chose to shoot at the keeper 🙊

Willopedia in full flow today 🤣

No 'Willopedia' accessed for the information apropos Mitoma !
However I HAVE been in 'Full flow' verbally since that victory yesterday. A 'Galleon in full flow', words rattling forth like shell castings from a machine gun. 😍

In reality it was a terrible finish. Only plus was that he wacked it at Vebruggen's head.

Sarr was content to shoot with his less-favoured foot.
Mateta in that position would have ensured that the keeper kept out the shot or indeed fired wide of the target !!

JP wouldn't have got a shot away.

The ball to Sarr wasn't actually great, he needed to check his run and then get it out of his feet.

For me, it was the ultimate case of 'alls well that ends well'

With our 4 no10's we've at last got some depth and variation.

I suspect that Sarr is the only one that almost is guaranteed a starting berth.

Pino may be best placed to unlock teams who sit back. Guessand as a bit more of the chaos factor. And Johnson is a natural finisher.

They will all have good and bad games, but the most important thing now is we have options. And oen of those options yesterday changed the game for us.

To the end of season we have 3 centre forwards and 6 (10s)for want of a better description. 9 players for 3 positions will admittedly give options however it will mean some annoyed players sat on the sidelines with little chance of putting themselves in the shop window. Healthy, or not, maybe?

Absolutely, and I was ecstatic when the net rippled.

Exactly, what's 35 million or so between friends?

I would reckon Sarr and Strand Larsen will start when fit. Guessand and Pino vying for the other 'ten' slot; Johnson and Nketiah likely to come off the bench; Mateta and Uche on the bench at best.

And the Palace MOTM is Jefferson Lema with 34.4% of the votes.

Well done that man, I think it's his second award recently.

Sarr solved one of the main issues we've had in the recent poor run: not converting clear chances. As a bonus Dunk ended up forlorn on the deck. Lovely stuff.

So true, it was me in 1989 when we lost 9-0 at Anfield, I went up there with my leg in plaster 🤣

Anyone see Dunk's post game interview ?

Not a happy Seagull....says they need to train harder.

And of course they were willing to let him join Forest during the transfer window.

Forest offered him a two year deal. His contract with Brighton is up this summer.

Dunk is no 'Spring chicken' in football terms, he will be 35 towards the end of this year.
