Just about now, Graham Potter is sitting bolt upright in bed and thinking, “Why the —— did we play down the right side all night?” Mitchell wasn’t quite as sharp as usual but if the Weed had focused on Cucarella (or anyone) vs. Ward all game long, Brighton would have 30 chances to score.

Given the age and inexperience of Olise, Eze, Edouard, and Gallagher , and lack of playing time together, we did well.

Don't know why anyone would be disappointed with a draw. It was more than Palace deserved. Brighton 4 shots on target Palace 1 shot on target the goal. Plus Brighton missed a pen. Overall it is a great point though even though they conceded towards the end.

Lol my comment, before the start of yesterday’s match has aged well!!!
Well played Jack. Great game.

RB is the postition currently that compromises the whole set up. Ayew, Andersen, and Guehi all have extra workload because of the targeting by the opposition of our RB. Olise doesn't give as much cover to Ward as Ayew, the end result being that all Ward's attributes are exposed.
RB has been an area that has been lacking since the departure of AWB; theoretically would Ward still be in the team if AWB had stayed? I doubt it. I also doubt if Ferguson will ever get up to full match fitness where he can claim the spot as his own.
Ward has been an excellent servant for the club, but his shortcomings have been exposed by the opposition. We really need to dip into the transfer market.

Ward needs upgrading asap - Ferguson was on the bench and Hartlepool will likely be his target game.
Eze will be fine.
Schlupp should be played on the left where he can help Mitchell and get forward as well.
Olise can only improve and is exciting.
Poor performance but we drew and it will only get better after Afcon.

No, Ward has been very good. Reads the game very well and has saved goals using his body almost every game. Definately a keeper until another AWB comes along. He has his 'off' days just like any other player you care to mention, but is 'on' days this season has far surpassed his 'off'. He keeps getting condemned after a rare 'off' day - not fair. If that was Ward instead of Andersen facing the shot that led to Brighton's equaliser, I wager that Ward would have defended it. No offence intended towards Andersen. Ward is awesome in those situations, where most teams would be picking balls out from the back of nets.
