Brighton vs Crystal Palace match thread

We cannot defend and that starts up front.
Lerma should have started centre back today with Richards on the right and Canvot on the left.
Khalali cannot defend at all.
We have no strength or spine.
We will leak goals as we are and will likely be relegated.
Sage is only a part of the problem but if he played the central defenders in their best slots it would help.
 
I just watched Sky 30 min highlights after arriving on hols in Egypt.

2 goals should've been disallowed. 1 for offside and handball, the last one for Dunk clotheslining Hughes who was marking the assister. We also scored for them, and also they got a fluke deflection.

Then there was goal of the season.

So 1 nil loss Vs most in form side away from home......honest guv
 
I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be the vitriolic ranting that usually accompanies a defeat like that suffered today. A little annoyed and upset maybe, but nothing too over the top. Perhaps fans have accepted the inevitable.

We all predicted it and it came to pass. Some of us thought this season and Sage’s tenure might play out like this. We hoped to be wrong but something has been wrong ever since he was appointed
 
Since I started playing and watching the game 60 years ago the keeper and defenders thumped the ball up front and you fought for it in opposition's half Why has f ing about with it in your own penalty area become so important and particularly when we are so poss poor at it
 
Is it just me or is Khalaili absolute shite?
Prior to his signing, the information I received was that he could play as a wing-back or as a winger, he was a player who possessed running power and who was fleet of foot.
Defensively for us he has been found wanting particularly in 1 v 1 situations.He played as a striker for most of his youth career and he appears as a player who is more accomplished attacking than defending.

Exactly!! Even if jsl wasn't winning the initial balls up to him we could of got players around him to win the second ball rather than just passing it around the back 3 only to give it away.

It would appear that our supporters fully expected a drubbing by a rampant Brighton side.
I for one was 'Spitting tacks' and in a state of apoplexy watching that debacle.
