Yep. Other former Albion youngsters... Lee Carey, Tom Vickers and Jack Walder.

Tom Vickers! He was very promising at one time. Remember being surprised when he was released. How did he do tonight?

Like a lot of players at that level on his day you watch him and think why on earth are you playing step 5 football you are different class but there is usually a good reason to back why those sorts of players are playing at that level. Tom's issue appears to be fitness. He's only been at the club for a few months and he's been injured more than he's been fit to play. Big fan favourite though as he loves a tackle and isn't afraid to get stuck in to the melee that ensues shortly afterwards.

As others have said Brighton looked a class above to be honest and didn't really get out of second gear. Ajiboye looked brilliant in the first half and ran the show. Didn't get a kick second half and was brought off which probably summed the game up quite nicely. Crowborough defended well pretty much all of the first half. Jason Barton who was the oldest player on the park by about three decades was superb. Crowborough nullified Ajiboye in the second half and most of the game was played in Brighton's half. That said Crowborough never really threatened and Brighton looked like scoring every time they broke. As someone else mentioned the lad who came on at half time Bjordal looks like a decent prospect.

Classic non-league write-up. Managed about 1500 words not one of which was the name of an Albion player. Not even the goalscorers.

Jesus....tough crowd. It's a tongue in cheek write up of a Crowborough game by a Crowborough fan.

And they wonder why Crowborough is seen as parochial.

I've lived in the town all my life and I've never wondered that.
