Brighton and Hove Albion FCv Leyton Orient FC ** Johnstones paint trophy***

[glasfryn]

It's not good to lose any game but this really is a crappy cup and I won't be upset for more than few hours if we lose

but there will be those who lives will be devastated

 

[ashlehh]

game over now.

 

[fleet]

Calderon doing the job that you may expect a keeper to do it would seem

 

[Husty]

I don't get why people we're ever expecting us to take this seriously following Gus' comments? I was not disappointed to see us out the Carling Cup and i'm not disappointed to see us out of the JPT either.

 

[Marshy]

could not give a shit about this game

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

We can concentrate on promotion now.

 

[Mackenzie]

Disappointing but could work for us in the long run. I hate losing though.

 

[fleet]

Old fashioned maybe, but the team we put out tonight should have been able to thrash Orient and it isn't good to be 2 down, no mater how naff this cup is.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Not bothered about going out, just a bit pissed off at losing.
If that makes sense.

 

[glasfryn]

right thats it a goal from an overhead kick from Chino will send me to bed satisfied

 

[Silent Bob]

If we weren't setting out to win this game we might as well have given a few players a chance.
Also I see Poyet's favourite "attacking" sub is back, moving Bennett to right back. I'd forgotten about that one over the summer.

 

[seagulls120]

I hate losing, and especially when the moaners are back on here makes me more depressed. Oh well mainly the league now, which is more important.

 

[severnside gull]

losing this game doesn't matter but the manner of losing with a strong team out does.

a fortnight of pain ahead for the players in training I hope............................

 

[kevtherev]

I take it all the people who could not give a shit about this game, would not bother going to Wembley if we got there?. I give a shit about every game, its called a winning mentality.

[Huple]

The manager shouldn`t get annoyed he said it was worthless. The players heard that and most of the fans feel its worthless.
Then why does it bother me............ ?

No I would not go to Wembley if they got there in this competition.

 

[Acker79]

I understand JPT causes losses to the club financially, can provide a distraction, injuries, suspensions and no guarantee of a trip to wembley, so am not going to get in a huff over a loss. It's called keeping things in perspective.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Poor performance from essentially a very strong Albion side. Joke really. If Poyet didn't think it was important, why not play more fringe players.

Well done to Slade and Cox.

That's not what people are saying. It is not an important trophy unless you get to the final. On that basis, I would far rather get knocked out tonight than go to the Southern final like two years ago and lose.

As for people saying we have a strong team out but by my reckoning we are without Brezovan, Greer, Kishishev, LuaLua and Sandanza who will probably all be in the first team when it is settled. I have left Navarro out as he is not coming back soon. Also Sparrow is playing his first game for a couple of weeks and Bridcutt making his debut. We also don't know how seriously the team are taking it. I honestly don't see any reason to worry whatever happens tonight as long as there are no red cards or injuries.
