A quote I've just read on the express and Star website from our manager.
"Our long-term aim is to be an out of possession team with intensity.
"We know Brighton will have a lot of possession so we now have to show how good we are out of possession.
"To compete with a Premier League club is the best thing we can have to give us a picture of where we are to where we want to be."
I never remember when I played Sunday or Saturday football that the manager wanted us to be out of possession.
Bizarre how football is.

I used to really look forward to the FA Cup 3rd round, hoping for a decent cup run. It now seems as if is an irritation to most clubs, such is the pressure of retaining or gaining Premier League status. Add the unpleasantness of an hour (or more) each way on the M6/A14, the awful weather forecast and I have,sadly, decided that I will not be at the Hawthorns tomorrow. If the club is making a charge for putting the game on one’s stilecard, then that is outrageous. Football these days just doesn’t have the appeal that it once had for me.

Not sure how full the Brighton End was, but 10,000 to 12,000 tops today
