1-0 to Brighton, Elphick.
My verdict:
May (GK) Saved a penalty although it was very poor. Made some good saves and can kick well. But is too small and cannot come for crosses.
Breach (RB) Solid game and showed some good touches.
Elphick (CB) Tap in made up for missing a free header from three yards. Looked very solid. Built like a brick shit house and looked very excited when Dean White told him to clatter Lewes' number 12.
Lynch (CB) Also very solid, although perhaps not as good as Elphick. We have another two good young centre backs.
Jones (LB) Too slow getting back. Will not be back in first team contention with performances like that.
Hart (RM) A shadow of his former self. Should have scored with a shot at the end but smashed it across the goal when he had so much time.
Budd (CM) Never stopped running. Very small. Jury is still out on him.
Reid (CM) Looked uninterested. Should have scored when through on goal but too slow and did not show a goalscoring instinct.
Jarrett (LM) Needed to be told what to do a lot by Dean White. No use beating a man 9 times and then losing the ball. Is certainly not a 90 minutes player and I am still not convinced by him.
McPhee (CF) Did ok. Went off injured. He had a brace on his leg and was walking on crutches. Hope it is not serious.
Molango (CF) Lacks confidence. Not the player he was in pre season. Kept drifting offside and had to be shouted at a lot by Dean White. Doesn't seem to have a clue at the moment.
Subs: Robinson (for McPhee) Best player on the pitch. Looked very sharp and was unlucky not to score.
Watson (Ben) Didn't have time to do anything.
Fillery (Unused)
A very poor game. Funniest thing was Bob Booker going ballistic at the fourth official who was trying to make McPhee put a tracksuit top on while sitting on the bench being treated.
