I actually think they could do okay this year down in League Two. They had some players that looked comfortable against our lot.

Admittedly, they also had some players that looked woefully out of their depth.

Worth lumping on crawley to lose first game

Good turnout from Albion fans today, shame about the weather.
Wearing shorts wasn't my best idea of the day.

And now he's got a yellow card for his trouble! Can anybody tell me, do yellow cards handed out in pre-season friendlies count towards the totting up process? Could a red card potentially cause a player to be suspended for the Manchester Citeh match (not that I'm expecting KLL to be anywhere near the team on matchday - just enquiring about the rules)?

Take it you never played football or weren't good enough to get constantly fouled..

He should refrain from reacting but it's much easier said than done.

A good workout overall and no injuries which is always good! Gross looked very good, has a good engine, can tackle and scored a sublime volleyed goal. Hemed must have had his head turned as he was a bit shit really. Same for Norwood, he just wasn't as good as the players around him.

Special mention though for Solly. Oh. My. God. That boy has oodles of class. Prem class.

Cox did a particularly nasty challenge on KLL at the start of the second half...... That was a clear yellow, even in a friendly.

Who needs new signings........ ;-)

Seriously, good display, however Crawley really were woeful and will be for another tough season. Comfortable throughout, Crawley had two very easy chances that our second half team gifted to them and they blazed them over.

Once again I thought Gross oozed class and March was outstanding and Murphy played well. Second half, I thought Stephens and Goldson were the pick of our team.

No, yellow cards in pre-season don't count towards the totting up.

Red cards are a bit of an anomaly. It was discussed on Talksport as part of the fall out from Man Utd's preseason tour. Valencia I believe committed quite a nasty foul. The ref gave Mourinho the opportunity to sub the player. Mourinho refused so the ref sent Valencia off. If the referee includes the red card in his match report then the FA are obligated to treat it as if it was in competition. They mentioned Roy Keane fell foul of such an incident on a Utd preseason tour years ago.

I must say I enjoyed that game. Not normally a fam of Friendlies but First half was splendid, enjoyed the look at Groß and Suttner. Groß look3d very interesting. The second took a bit to get going but good to see 22 of the firSt team squad get a good run out. Well worth 12 for me and my boys.

Roll on Tuesday and Southend.

Suttner v Pog on this display rather have Pog TBH, time will tell if he is an upgrade.

Looking forward to seeing all this via the highlights after the live stream debacle... from what I saw, it was all quite promising. Sounds like our new chaps are settling in nicely...

In case anyone missed it, there's an in-depth review at http://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2017/07/22/albion-hit-crawley-town-for-six/:

Albion hit Crawley Town for six

Crawley Town 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 6
Brighton and Hove Albion comprehensively dispatched of their nearest local rivals with a convincing win at the Checkatrade Stadium.

Six different Albion players scored, including new signing Pascal Gross and Conner Goldson not long after the latter’s life saving heart surgery.

Albion’s other scorer’s were Solly March after just four minutes, Tomer Hemed, Jamie Murphy and a Glenn Murray penalty.

New signing, goalkeeper Maty Ryan made his debut in the first half , but hardly touched the ball.

Niki Maenpaa took over in the second half.

Thought that Crawley were generally awful and will have a long hard winter ahead of them . IMHO they should have gone after Adam El Abd, COG and a goalkeeper, even Ankergren was better than the clown they had in goal. IMHO and opposite to most I thought that both Norwood and Kayal put in a good shift but our MOM was undoubtedly March who showed his class and ability. Of the new players I thought Gross did well Suttner was a little slow and caught out of position a few times so will reserve judgement on him. Did Ryan touch the ball with his hands or was it all with his feet at which he was very good. Good run out against very poor opposition whose best players were No 17 and Coxy.

Why mention Pocognoli as he has signed for Standard Liege the contrast for us should be between Suttner and Bong as to who is best not somebody we havent signed. I am not sure who I think is the better of the two that we have now.

Think they might have a Hyypia in Kewell. Coxy insinuated they're not too convinced by the "expansive" style he's trying to implement. Rarely works in div three.

The guy who fouled old cheerychops for the penalty was another highlight. He must have been shorter than 5ft. Maybe he's a Juninho-style pocket genius and just hid it well.
