Article from Sky Sports and quote from Poyet in October last year:
Brighton manager Gus Poyet has tipped rookie defender Lewis Dunk to have a bright future at Withdean Stadium. The 18-year-old made his first appearance of the season in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Tranmere as regular centre-half...
Gus was bigging Dunk up last season (around the time he played away at MK Dons I think) and so has always been way ahead of Cook in the pecking order to fill El-Abd's/Elphick's shoes
Been covered lots already, but genuinely not too fussed at the result tomorrow night (as long as we don't get thumped), would take a drawn against Leeds and really hope for a win against Palace
I wasn't referring to the actual game at Withdean. More the PA build up which started quite amusingly by playing "Catch us if you can", but then went way OTT with more songs, saying Champion each other word and then reading the Brighton team out as, "Champion, Casper Ankergren, Champion Inigo...
Would love to have it as a benefit at work, but I don't and I can't afford to pay for it myself. I have never had any troubles with being treated on the NHS either. I realise this may not always be the case but I can't justify the extra cost on a what if

We're quick enough to give it out when we were top so can't see why people are whining about it being given back. We'll do very, very well to finish ahead of them this year
You might be right and he might put Cook in, but I don't think he will, mainly due to lack of experience and throwing him into a side to play against Luis Suarez wouldn't be the best of ideas. As you say though, down to opinions and we'll have to wait to Wednesday night to see what Gus has in store.
Harley has shown his ability to pick a pass and split a defence, and obviously how well he can hit a free kick. But I don't think he's been working hard enough when we aren't in possession of the ball and looks, dare I say it, a little lazy. Maybe he's jut not fully match fit and that side of...
