Doesn’t have to be a goal scoring opportunity. Doesn’t have to be on purpose. But Lamptey does make a genuine attempt to play the ball. Does make contact but not cleanly. The attacker goes into Lamptey who hasn’t moved to obstruct, he’s still in a falling motion. The ball’s direction...

I highly doubt Brighton would have relinquish control when Undav left in the summer. Hence, why it was an option (that Brighton don’t have to accept) rather than a performance based buy obligation. If the reported option fee of £15M is correct I’m sure Stuttgart would snap that up immediately.

Other score: 4-0 to Brighton

A back 4 please, but I’m more than happy for the team dynamic to change when in possession, providing we have pace in wide midfield to cover runners. I’d be tempted to try Lamptey and Pervis further forward if Pedro isn’t fit to start. Keen to get Lallana involved in the 10 role again, even if...

Yeah, why not? Both games saw Brighton go behind in seconds. 3-0 down at HT in both. Sure, we scored against Everton and made some chances but also conceded 5 to a very poor Everton side. An Everton side that scored just 29 other goals in 37 games that season. Losing at home in that fashion was...

Away to Fulham under Hughton. A cold and snowy night towards the end of his tenure. We took an early 2 goal lead but never looked convincing. Second half we conceded 4. West Ham away under Poyet. 5-0 by half time I seem to recall. Only time I left an away game early. Everton at home last...

Blocked Kudus for West Ham AND released Lamptey back to us? Agent Chris did well. Do feel sorry for Ghana though. A talented generation failing to deliver again. Wobbly World Cup qualification too.

Eastleigh v Newport County not being covered live by the BBC or ITV is a joke. A far more interesting watch than Bristol at home to West Ham, the sole official TV offering tonight.

In the year 2024 it can be what it wants to be.* *for tax purposes though it is a cake.

Dunk is right footed and prefers RCB. He’s playing on the left now because Colwil left and he’s more experienced than JPVH there. Luckily for us Dunk is more than capable at LCB and I’m not sure it makes a difference where he plays. Dunk left sided CB partners include Duffy, Burn and Upson...

Competition has had several formats. Invitational 32 from T3/4, groups, no groups, groups added back, north / south separation, a period with added T5 teams as you said, 48 teams (seeded to protect 16 teams to make the next round 32) to what we’ve got now. An academy has never won it since...

A lot of reasons to dislike a particular trip. Difficult to chose just one so have a selection of unfavourable away trips. A ground we never win at - Villa. At least we got to celebrate European qualification and promotion there, otherwise joyless trips. A soulless ground in the arse end of...

Credit where due, he was excellent tonight. Shut me up!

We should give Watford more money through kind. Pedro is a very, very good footballer!

Mountain of a man. Really stepped up and command the defence well.
