A Friend at the game said crowd about 1000 of which 200 were Albion .

Equliser huge error by Blackburn keeper - and a quality goal to win it.

Gatting must start Saturday - I know it's easy to get carried away but he has what the rest of our forwards don't currently have Confidence.

I heard he was going to start against Burnley but calf strain kept him out.

Results like this give the whole club a boost. I can definitely see the first team responding to this on Saturday. Fantastic result after going behind - shows tremendous character and spirit - well played.

ROVERS' youngsters crashed out of the FA Cup this evening, losing 3-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion after extra time.
Tom Fraser had given the visitors an unlikely first half lead after a goal-line clearance hit the Albion captain. But Rovers hit back thanks to a Ryan Woods penalty and then Winnard pounced after Martin had fumbled in the Brighton goal.
But a costly Frank Fielding error with three minutes remaining saw Gatting take full advantage to send the tie into extra time.
Tired limbs and tired minds saw Dean Winnard let the ball bounce in his area and Gatting didn't need a second invitation to send the Seagulls through.
Rovers had started the better of the two sides, Jamie Clarke firing wide after four minutes with De Vita and Pezzoni having efforts, but the Brighton goalkeeper was rarely troubled.
But the visitors took the lead against the run of play in controversial circumstances. A ball into the area found David Leach, it looked like he controlled the ball with his arm before bringing out a save from Fielding, but as Winnard cleared the ball it cannoned off Tom Fraser and into the back of the net.
Alan Judge almost brought the home side level when he latched onto a clever through-ball from Clarke, but Martin kept his shot out.
Six minutes after the restart Rovers were level. Following a corner kick Stephen Thomson fired an effort forward that struck the arm of Fraser. Ryan Woods made no mistake from the spot, hitting it high to the goalkeeper's left.
Midway through the second half Rovers took the lead. Substitute Keith Treacy's clever free-kick wrong-footed the Brighton defence, the goalkeeper couldn't keep hold of the ball and Dean Winnard was first to react to bundle the ball over the line.
But Brighton started to force the issue and with just three minutes to go they were given a way back into the tie courtesy of a terrible error from captain Frank Fielding. The Rovers goalkeeper missed his kick when attempting to clear a ball outside his area and Joe Gatting made no mistake, levelling the tie with a shot from a tight angle.
That sent the game into added time, and with both sets of players starting to suffer from cramp it was inevitable that an error would decide the game, a clearance upfield from a Brighton defender saw Dean Winnard caught out, he let the ball bounce and Joe Gatting did the rest, beating Fielding from a similar angle to his earlier goal.
Rovers' youngsters tried their best to hit back a further time, Fielding tried to make amends by coming up for a last minute corner, but Treacy's kick was cleared to bring to an end their FA Youth campaign.
So it's Martin Hinshelwood's Brighton who go through, they face the long trip to Newcastle in the next round.
ROVERS: Fielding (c), Bateson, Olsson, Hodge, Winnard, Thomson, Judge, Pezzoni (sub Treacy 59 mins), Clarke, De Vita (sub Garner 59 mins),__Woods. Subs: Somodi, King, Ahmed.
BRIGHTON: Martin, Hinshelwood, Cobbs, Chamberlain, Elphick, Lynch, Fogden (sub Taylor 79 mins), Fraser (c), Gatting, Leach, Jarvis (sub Skinner 72 mins). Subs: Taylor, Winterton, Gargan, Martin.
Attendance: 641

Piece of piss with a QUALITY coach like Dean Wilkins... Magoo could learn a lot from him.

He probably wouldn't admit it though.
