Brighton vs Crystal Palace match thread

[JRW2]

Is songs of praise still on the other side?

That's brought to mind that old hymn "O God our help in ages past", including the line "And our defence is sure"!

 

[Part Time James]

Hope we have got someone marking Canvot at these corners.

This comment deserves a standing ovation.

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

I just want us to show some fight.

Get Sarr and Mateta on..!!

 

[JHB]

This isn't on Sage but exposing the defensive frailties that the transfer window didn't repair. It's 'Men vs. Boys' at the moment with the match already won by Brighton. Damage limitation exercise now.

When you are three nil down inside ten minutes playing the same tactics that have left you defensively exposed all season long I think you have to conclude the manager has to take just the teeniest bit of blame don’t you?

 

[mtp1958]

No response. No tactical changes. No fight. No leadership. Nothing. They look way more likely to score again than we do to creat a chance.

You’d think Sage would change something. A sub. A tactical change. Anything.

He looks lost and so do the players

It's first half nothing to change yet

 

[BromleyMonkey]

We are in for a difficult decision to make.

Are de Boer or Sage our worst manager ever?

Close call.

behave!! sage has actually won games

 

[Mr.G]

This difference in the labouring forward play from us compared to speed and pass execution from them is a league apart. What exactly have we been training?

 

[Bean52]

Go back out

I’m going in the garden to eat worms! Better than listening to this game.

I thought you said you wanted us to show some fight, they’re both waiting for January

Not a lot he can do - he picked Canvot and Khalaili on the same side with a loan who rarely gets a game on the other and the plodding Richards in the middle. Did anyone expect anything different? This defence is truly awful, probably the worst since we came back to the Premiership. A new manager would be faced with the same crap players.

Seems reasonable. Only worth changing if you are, I don’t know, 3-0 down and being trampled by the opposition. Good job that isn’t happening!

 

[DenTyler]

Can we start a go fund me page to buy a central defender that knows how to defend that we actually own.

But maybe not the same crap tactics. Two of the goals have come from trying to play out which led to the free kick and then pushing the wingbacks on which meant when we lost it they had a three on three.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

its like boys against men

 

[DenTyler]

I’m sorry but we are shockingly bad. No defence and where he f*** is the midfield.

33 minutes. Sage needs to change this. It looks like school boys v men

 

[Teddy Eagle]

its like boys against men

In Brighton?

 

[PatrickA]

Wharton is marking Dunk at the corners.
Interesting tactic.

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Let’s face it, if Forest had this luck and finishing this result would’ve happened a week earlier

 

[Nicholas91]

Imagine losing 3-0 away to your fiercest rivals this early on, who are aggressively pressing you all over the pitch, and trying to slowly pass it out from the back using your amateur league defence.

If ever calls of “you don’t know what you’re doing” were warranted it’s now.

This is beyond parody.

 

[DenTyler]

In Brighton?

In Brighton its more men behind boys to be fair
