Crystal Palace vs Brentford match thread

[Badger11]

There has been a lot of forensic analysis of the game, but if Eze's free kick had gone in off the post, instead of deflecting out, I doubt there would be the same stuff written. As Parish said in the podcast, if a shot goes a foot left as appose to a foot right and misses the whole mood changes, its a game of fine margins.

True although if it had gone in you could argue that he was lucky as it took a deflection of a Brentford player.

Nothing wrong with a bit of luck.

Especially against Brentford as we haven’t had much playing against them this season

Precisely.
Opposing teams can also point to moments in games against us which have turned in our favour.
It’s the nature of football.

If it had been played on the Saturday it would have been a Palace victory (possibly).
If Henderson hadn't made a good save it would have been a Brentford goal.
If Palace hadn't signed Edouard they wouldn't have had to loan him out...

Indeed. A game of fine margins, neither team could really hand on heart say they deserved to win that one. If we'd nicked an equaliser there wouldn't have been an inquest.

Both teams nullified each other, they came out on top. Keep it in perspective!

Precisely, if it had been a draw, a few moans, but not all the nonsense that has been written. We were due a defeat, as we never win 4 games on the trot.
