Off the Ball, GAA. When a group of players come together at the same time, when they're growing at the same time, when they're moving in the same direction, when they all have that same bit of hunger, I think that's a really powerful thing.

Well Vinnie, we've just watched Crystal Palace v Brighton 1-0. It wasn't a classic, but Oliver Glasner won't care.
Brian Kerr 0:23
No, I think it was a really important win for Palace in terms of where they're at. They've overtaken Brighton in the league as well. So there's been a lot of positives about them. I think the three new signings they brought in probably felt, Glassner, the way he spoke a little bit this week, has been a bit more positive. Him himself as well. So that's reflecting in the team's performance. A lot to like about it. It was built on sort of being really solid. Back three were excellent today. Two midfield use and Warnham were really good.

What were the key moments in the Crystal Palace vs Brighton match?

Brian Kerr 0:51
And ultimately then, So at the moment the magic in the game and the only bit of magic in the final tour is brilliant finish from him. So a lot to be positive about from not many teams go to the Amex and win and they've managed to do that. So we had a day for Palace.
Phil Egan 1:07
Yeah, just the second team to win at the Annex in the Premier League this season after Aston Villa, but also looking at the fixtures there for Palace, going into the game today, they were six points above the relegation zone and people are starting to look at West Ham, starting to pick up a bit of momentum and but now Palace have that win they've burned me in wolves to come in a couple of weeks over the next few weeks so they can start looking for the I suppose the aim for him for Blasner is get that sort of the league and then go all in on the conference league yeah I think another I think there'll be okay like but not a winner to just put your minds at ease I think the conference league will see as an opportunity to win another trophy and
Brian Kerr 1:46
When you think about, yes, it's the Conference League, but when you think about how hard it is for clubs to win trophies, to win an FA Cup, to win a charity shield, and maybe a European competition year, there's a real sort of opportunity. And I think his stock has probably fallen a little bit because of Palace's performance in the first half of the season. But this is an opportunity for him to show his real class between now and the end of the season, maybe win another trophy. And if this is his last season with Palace, imagine having three trophies in the bank. They may not be... the highest glamour trophies in the world outside the FA Cup but it'd be great sort of for him and his legacy at Palace and also opportunities at other clubs so there's a lot to play for for Palace and as I said bringing in Strand Larson is the obvious one I'm guessing I'm doing really really well Bradley Johnson's come in probably feels like they're a big shot in the arm to the squad and there's a lot to like about what they're doing
Phil Egan 2:38
Yeah, Gasand set up the goal for Sar. Brennan Johnson's been at the club for a few weeks. But what about Tran Larson? Straight into the team, obviously, Mateta is now out. We don't know, is he going to go for surgery for the knee or is he going to play through the pain barrier? But he was also left out of the squad because he wanted to leave. So, It was all in on Strand Larsson. He had a good chance today to score, but his hold-up play, his defensive play in terms of set-pieces was all very good.
Brian Kerr 3:05
You feel that the dressing room will probably forgive quicker than the fan base and maybe even the manager. Players understand that players get an opportunity to move to big clubs and whatever that momentum. So I think that'll be okay around the dressing room. It's about him wanting to play internationally whether he sorts out that or not but what they've done is they've almost replaced as if he had gone and that's what they've done with Stran Larson who's you know a lot of money spent on him technically he's good at a lot of things he may not be brilliant at a lot of things but he doesn't give people a moment he looks like someone you'd enjoy playing with in terms of tries never gives them the halves a moment decent in the air he's got a good touch showed that for the goal and it's just a willing runner who's tried he's ended up the game
