*** Northampton Town v Brighton & Hove Albion Carling Cup 1st Round *** Official !!

[mcshane in the 79th]

Dicker is a good player, but I'd argue he isn't really an adequate replacement for either of the players we've lost. He certainly doesn't have Sparrow's drive or goal threat and he's not even close to as good as Alan in the holding role. He'll do a job, but promotion contenders need more than do a job I'm afraid.

Agree with this.

Bar the injury and sending off the worst thing is how cheaply we're giving the ball away!

 

[Steve Foster]

Taxi for Poke.

I'll pay for Holroyds fare if you pay for Poke's.
Share a cab?

El-Hab and Navro

 

[Southstandseagullsfan]

battipedi to play in a holding role by the sounds of it

 

[fleet]

would have been a mood elevator if we had sounded like scoring

 

[Acker79]

Sky sports saying Elphick was booked at 53 mins, when Navaro was carried off.

Yeah, the commentators mentioned it, too.

El-Hab and Navro

Don't forget "Batti-Batti-What's-his-last-name?".

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Anyone else literally NOT CARE that we've been knocked out?

 

[Johnny Fever]

Is Aspinall pissed? He's getting embarrising now

 

[Foolg]

How can we lose to Northampton!!!

There not a bad side, people often presume teams are utter shite just because they're a league below us, but they were one of the favourites to go up. Looks like we made the mistake of underestimating them, because IMO you either play a strong side, or all your reserves, not a mix, added to unfortunately a large piece of bad luck and stupidity.

I care - would rather that I didn't but I do

He must be pissed!

Suppose it doesn't really matter.

Navarro's injury and Sparrow's red card do matter though

 

[Twinkle Toes]

...followed by scent of..! I kid you not.

Maybe The Albion should start flogging the all-new fragrance in the club shop:

Terrorhawk - The Whiff Of A Hero!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

El-Hab and Navro

Both of them have reputations to maintain. Keeping their real names off the radio might save them from being associated with a performance like this.

 

[Johnny Fever]

Taxi for Aspinall

Do not care one iota that we're out, but the Sparrow ban and Navarro injury have depressed me a bit.

 

[JBizzle]

Dicker is an able replacement, Decent player! Remember that volley, great passer too!

Sorry but Dicker gives the ball away ALL THE TIME!!!

He's a good player but all I kept hearing up until the radio cut out was "Dicker gives it away cheaply". I've noticed this an awful lot.

He's capable of a great pass but does give it away far too much for my liking.
