Anyone who has been paying attention will know that the way to beat us is to a) move the ball faster b) try and draw us up the pitch to make use of our painfully slow defence. Brighton attempted to pass it through our defence in a ponderous fashion for much of the game and due to playing two tiny strikers in the first half couldn't put high crosses in the box. The decision to play four centre-backs also meant that on the two occasions we countered effectively we won the foot race and got the crosses in.

I like the way Potter has Brighton playing and if they can afford some better players it should pay dividends long term. Last night and in our previous encounter though he got his tactics wrong.

Bentenke now has more goals than Maupay this season which is very funny too

My limited understanding is the debt has built up over the last 10 years so they pretty much stick to FFP rules but each year have been bankrolled and only made a profit in their first season up . They are now £279m in debt and lost £67m last season . [Link] . We are one of the few smaller clubs in the premier who are bankrolled which is why we make do and mend.

One supporter of hacking argued that without it "you will do away with the courage and pluck of the game, and I will be bound to bring over a lot of Frenchmen who would beat you with a week's practice -Blackheath secretary at first meeting of the F.A

But how many defence splitting passes was my point, at best 2 in the whole match. Brighton may rise but I suspect they will struggle to keep their best players, Bissouma and White will be off, if only to help finances.
I agree Palace need an overhaul to avoid relegation

You don't like Dan Burn? I think that for his height he is a wonderful player. I have never seen a human over 2 metres tall be so fast. Never

Not according to Brighton fans. You have let yourself down in this thread with your bigging up Brighton. Potter has done no better than Hughton despite spending millions.

He may be fast but he is not very good at defending
