Definitely Wasn’t Hinchy but not sure who it was. Maybe Atom?

Oh, Kain Ryan. His season goes from bad to worse.....

Hugo Fisher played exceptionally well for Weymouth. They were very sorry to see him leave. He’s been replaced by a Chelsea youngster. What a downgrade!!

Hinchy was 6 on the team sheet
That may have been the case but it definitely wasn’t Hinchy. Hinchy is white and the lad that was sent off was of Afro-Caribbean descent

Ok, so this was only 1 match but....on this evidence none of these Albion U21s are anywhere near ready for lower league football, let alone the Albion matchday squad.
Steyning were magnificent. Baker-Boatey had one gilt-edged chance, rounding the keeper before shooting into the side netting.
Albion only started playing once they went down to 10 men. I think it was Ryan who got sent off, Kavanagh made mistakes in firat half. Steyning hit the bar, they could have been two up at half time but went in 0-0.
I realise that the likes of O'Mahony are on international duty, but given the likes of Slater, Kavanagh, Hinchy, Barrington, Baker Boatey, Ifill, Chouchane were involved this is a bad night for the U21s.

Oh dear - another cup competition we've been dumped out of! Oh well - well done Steyning.

What a night for Steyning Town. First of all thanks to the Albion for switching to the away ground having been drawn at home. This makes a massive difference for clubs like us and Shoreham (from a previous round).
A fully deserved win. We both played a passing game. But we scored two great goals and created a number of other chances. The Albion were wasteful towards the end but I’m sure won’t begrudge us our night.
A word on Lewis Dunk. First of all he came along. Secondly he was added to the guest list for free entry but insisted on pitching a ticket to put money into the club. And that is our captain.

Fair play to him - but TBH, he can afford it!
De Zerbi is on borrowed time now surely? Slumping towards the relegation zone and now knocked out of the FA Cup by Steyning! Dark days for the Albion, possibly the worse period in our history. The only sliver of good news I suppose is at least there's a Sussex club in the next round.
(No, well done Steyning. I think Lancing are out so I hope you win it).

That was great wasn’t it. The power of the Premier League. And that’s why it was so great Lewis came along. There’ll be lots of talk in the playgrounds this morning about seeing Lewis.

But did he jump any fences so we can speculate on his fitness?
And did he throw his pint in the air when Albion score?

Thought Steyning were fantastic rather than Brighton were poor, really used the artificial pitch to their advantage, zipping it about and some very nice goals. Steyning didn't sit back either and threatened throughout, probably got a bit lucky in the sense if Brighton could finish they'd have definitely got an equaliser, but don't let that take anything away from Steyning.
