i didn't think it was a particularly good performance overall. the 1st half was woeful, the second half better but i never really felt we were going to score. we looked impotent going forward for most of the game. i'd be amazed now if we got through.

Seems like Holloway didn't really have much of an idea how to change our game plan. Very poor first half and only slightly better the second. If that's our home performance not looking forward to the away leg

To be frank I thought it was garbage. We are a shadow of the side we were at the turn of the year.

I didn't understand why Williams started only to be played out of position? Garvan was completely inaffective in the first half, Bolasie should have replaced him at half-time with Williams switching to a more central role. Also, when Murray got injured why wasn't he replaced by Phillips, a man who can score a goal from nothing, unlike Wilbraham?

Our only chance on Monday night is to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat because right now I can only see a comfortable win for Brighton.

Palace win the Cup for Wigan! Well done, Benny boy, what a great header. That's cheered me right up!

Shame for you Murray is out - maybe long term?

Surely KP would have been better coming on...

Tonight's the night then. Not expecting anything, but I just hope we give it a good go.

So predictions - 0-0 after full time and extra time then Palace to win 8-7 on penalties?

That'd be nice, not sure my nerves could take it though.

Besides I'm not greedy, a simple 5-0 win would be fine.

I'm going in with very low expectations so that way I'm not going to be too down if we do get beat.

TBH unless we pull out a stunning performance from somewhere, penalties could be our best chance.

if we get beat then so be it but we better have a real go at it!

tonight's line-up and Bolasie starts on the bench again. Wilbraham replaces Murray.

Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Gabbidon, Moxey, KG, Garvan, Jedinak, Williams, Zaha, Wilbraham.

Subs : Price, Richards, Bolasie, Phillips, O'Keefe, Ramage, Moritz

0-0 at half-time.

we got better as the half went on but i would like to see Bolasie brought on for the second half.

The problem is we continue to look impotent up front. I agree about Bolasie coming on and I'd like to see Phillips on within 15/20 minutes after the restart.

It started in the 70's. This gives a little insight... Link.

Needless to say it's become a lot more intense over the years.

Brighton have been very poor and looked like scoring but big credit to Crystal Palace a thoroughly deserved victory.

Bloody brilliant! Finally we awaken from our slumber. Top second half from us and two class finishes from Zaha! Get in!

we should ask for another £5m for Zaha lol.

2nd half was great. we got a bit of luck when we needed it but we were the better team after the break. Wembley here we come!

Nice result for you guys, im glad for you, one of my best friends is a massive Palace fan - he has texted me he was at the match tonight.

Only one more game to go - you are almost there.

Come on you Eagles.
