Looking around the grounds and most teams have regular first team players on the bench tonight. Emery’s looking after a few tonight.

We haven't been that bad. Just a case of a few too many changes and losing Martinez has rattled us a bit at the back.

What a contrast between Rogers and Guessand. Feels like Rogers can create something almost at will anytime he's on the ball tonight.

Guessand is just a ghost on the right, amazed if he isn't subbed.

Would be disappointed not to get a point out of this with what we have sitting on the bench.

Serves Sky right. They are always showing meaning less replays while missing the action on the pitch. Brighton is one of those fan bases around where I live that exploded in numbers once they got promoted. I get a lot of evil looks which always pleases me cos it usually means we've beaten them - but they always think we've done it using the dark arts.

He pretty much tried to catch the ball. Ref waiting for the call to say it crossed the line missed it completely. They near catch us on break after it. Then we break on them, Rogers with NFL style pass to set Ollie free. Cracking finish.

We also had a decent shout for two penos. Ollie missed a really good chance from another Rogers pass. Was the other one Watkins missed offside?
