I reckon the best we can hope for is a 0-0. Only the most blinkered can see they play good football, but luckily for us, and as the MOTD analysts point out, they waste endless chances in front of goal. I dunno, 5 minutes ago we were alright and now we're sh!te...

I just seen a very interesting stat regarding Brighton so I am changing my prediction to a 2 nil win to us.

Having a self imposed ban on attending games at the Amex any more, maybe I should also ban myself from watching it on tv....

Old, Ungifted and White

Well, they are not conceding at the moment and Wilfless us are not scoring and shipping bucketloads so work it out from that

given the last two results I'd imagine Roy will focus even more on defensive shape to attempt to nullify Brighton, and limit our self-inflicted wounds, so it's hard to imagine we'll have much of an attacking threat. Scraping a 1-0 at best. Would settle for 1-1. Optimistic I know.

Football is a funny aul game and when you look at Brighton's recent form which includes beating Liverpool and Spurs you would think they are nailed on to give us a big beating (which in my anger after Saturday I said they would).

Then when you look at Brightons home form you realise that there is a reason they will be fighting relegation right till the end. Over the last couple of years the only reason Brighton have stayed in the divison is because they always manage to get some great away results against the top clubs.

Brighton won 1 game at home in the whole of 2020 (Arsenal) and now they have won 1 game at home in 2021 (Tottenham) both of these games they have had lot less possesion than they usually have and it proves the fact that Brighton do not win many games when they more of the ball. This is not going to change overnight in their favour.

Brighton always struggle against teams when they have more possesion which they will certainly have more of against us, so that coupled with the fact that their home form is dysmal is the reason I am going for a Palace win here.
