Premier League tonight 19:54 - Sep 27 with 562 viewsKeithHaynes

Palace v Brighton.
Rivalry apparently.

Brighton go top if they win.

Never quite understood this rivalry. Didn't see the first half - Palace penalty just before half time (Gallagher went down ever-so easily, but we've seen that before). Second half was pretty much all Brighton possession but they struggled to create anything. Jordan Ayew missed a sitter which would have finished it off. Don't know why (probably due to Zaha's diving), but I can't stand Palace, so glad to see Brighton scoring in the last minute. Nice finish by Maupay. Pretty dire stuff overall. Handbags at the end, which livened things up a bit. The beard doesn't suit Potter.

10 of the 20 man Brighton squad featured v Swansea last week to resurrect past controversies. Most on the bench. They may be young but they are good young 'uns.

How many played any minutes at all?

Just checked.

So the older left back Burn got 45 mins. No real surprise.

Alzate, Connolly and Moder, were the oldest of the younger ones (20,22,23) all got 25 mins or less off the bench…. not including injury time.

You could have also framed it as 16 of the 20 man squad we faced in the Cup, played zero minutes today.

Half of the 20 were told not to bother lacing their boots and sat in the stand/in their living rooms watching it.

It’s not any different from the assessment at the time. It was a mixture of youth and reserve players.

When you resurrect a debate, it’s better to wait until something has changed.

My statement was correct. Nothing to discuss really. The ten in the squad tonight are in the first team squad for a vital Premier league game where Brighton would have been top of the Premier league.

I have stated facts. I will leave 'statistical processing' to you. Your interpretation does not tally with mine.

Yes, your statement said much the same as mine did.

16 of the 20 played no part at all. 10 of which were essentially told not to bother coming to the ground. 4 didn’t muster more than a half.

Glad we agree the team we played was largely youths and reserves then.

Back to the thread…

Your interpretation of the team we played "was largely youths and reserves" is not the way I see it.

10 of the 14 participants (who actually kicked the ball) v Swansea were in Brighton's top of the table squad tonight irrespective of age or playing time. The were young but not reserves. Mason Greenwood is young and generally not described as a "youth"or a "reserve". The ten are part of Brighton's first team squad.

Stats are stats but we interpret them differently.

Whether you see it as that or not doesn’t make much impact on the reality of the situation.

Brighton aren’t top of the table and haven’t been this season. They are 6th and the vast majority of the team that played us has had absolutely no hand in that whatsoever.

Tonight was no different. 4 of the 20 getting any kind of minutes. Zero of which getting more than a half. Half of the 20 not even in the ground.

Mason Greenwood stars almost every game for them. If someone I have described as a youth is the same for Brighton then I will move them across to regular first team starter, quite happily. Anyone?

That isn’t an interpretation. That’s just a statement of a series of facts.

I used to live not far from Croydon - Palace v Brighton is considered a derby of sorts, big game.

They have a motorway directly connecting them and next to nothing in between. Always causes trouble.

Croydon is one of the biggest shitholes it's been my misfortune to experience, and I've lived in Peckham and Lewisham.
