What is going to change after the Burnley debacle?

No idea myself but if nothing changes, how can anyone think we'll get a point let alone a win?

Last couple of times we've played them they were clearly better than us.

Anything can happen if football but I really cannot see anything in it for us unless we get really lucky again.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Please NO Benteke (or Batman) to start the game.
Put 5 in midfield, sharpen up big time the first ten minutes and leave 4-4-2 in Beckenham.
If we are in the same shape as we were against Villa, Leeds and Burnley they will roll all over us.
Game live 3 AM Thai TV - this time I will not get up to watch. Do not want this embarrassment straight in the face.

I have bet on Palace win and win/draw.

We are not at home to Mr Cockup

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Although I am a long way from being confident going into tonight's game, it is worth highlighting that despite a 6-game unbeaten run, Brighton only scored 4 goals during this period. Of course Burnley weren't high scorers until they played us, plus it highlights how good their defence has been, but come on, we have to look for some light!

Slight change in Officials for tonight . . .

Referee: Kevin Friend
4th Official: Martin Atkinson
VAR: Keith Stroud

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

It will be interesting to see if we can even get through the first ten minutes without conceding.

Recently teams have been quick out of the blocks against us because they have identified that, for whatever reason, we just don’t start well, be that a lack of confidence, poor motivation, a mistake with team selection or tactics, a combination of them all or some other reason altogether.

I think tonight’s performance is going to tell us more about where we are, tactically, mentally and just in general terms, than any other game of the season thus far.....Our arch rivals away, the team struggling for any form, a manager under increasing pressure, a full nine days of rest, training and preparation since our last game, the banner placed outside the training ground and the potential to be dragged right into the relegation mix if we don’t avoid defeat. Tonight’s performance is going to be fascinating.
