I lost interest in the bottom 3 the moment infrastructure beat Palace. They could go the rest of the season and be safe with just 3 points against Cardiff. Not sure that we won't gift them a win either as we should be safe by then.Yeah, but look at Brighton's April schedule. Looks pretty brutal...they aren't quite out of it yet.

Given the way we’ve played in many of the last 22 games you’d see why.Any odds coming out now will put us firm favourites for the drop next year.
A preoccupied one, hopefully !..there will be some twists and turns yet before the season ends in all games I reckon...if Spurs win or get through tonight, I wonder what sort of team we will see v us prior to a CL semi-final with Ajax?
The worrying thing if you are a Brighton fan is that normally after a humping like the 0-5 we administered on Saturday the manager and the fans would expect some sort of a reaction from the players in the next game ( even more so bearing in mind their current predicament ). The fact that there was ZERO reaction and that they were just as bad, if not worse, than when we played them does not inspire one with much confidence. There was a shocking lack of a reaction to a heavy defeat in last night's game. For this reason the Brighton fans seem convinced that Cardiff will survive and that they are now certs for relegation. They might have a point. It will certainly be fun observing it from our lofty perch and enjoying the fact that we are not involved in any way....just glad that we are not involved in any end of season tensions!
....we all witnessed against Burnley sometimes players seem to lack form and confidence, and it was a clueless performance. Pound for pound Brighton should have enough in their team to stay up over Cardiff but the marginals of how a manager motivates his team make a difference. Howe has been under a bit of pressure having seen our early from disintegrate into a quite awful spell....he nows looks to have turned it around? I hope now that we can push on in our last games and finish on a relative high.
