Unbelievable turnout. Gatting was class wasn't he?
Spoke to Dean Hammond briefly in the J block at half time. What a nice chap!
Chelski - money can't buy you everything!
Who was their no. 11, he was bloody good.
What a great fight as well.

It wasn't a great second half - but we should remember the name of the Chelski leftwinger Sinclair when he is inevitably chucked out by Mourinho in two years time - hellava player.
Of ours, Sullivan did very well, Gatting and Elphick were good early on and the Jarvis had a few good moments.

Not surprising, no one could touch him when he actually built up a head of speed.
The rest of the Chelski team were very ordinary and were just outworked and outfought by our youngsters.

Chelsea have exited this year’s FA Youth Cup at the fourth round stage on a disappointing evening on the south coast.
The attraction of a Chelsea side drew over 4,000 people to the converted athletics arena that is Brighton’s Withdean Stadium and the home club’s Under 18 side responded with a determined display that Chelsea’s young players could not match.
There was a blow to Chelsea before the game when Michael Mancienne was ruled out with the hamstring he suffered at the weekend. Captain Jack Cork dropped back from midfield to fill the vacancy but it was a poor start to the game by his team.
Nick Hamann in goal needed to save in the first minute from Joe Gatting and within five minutes, the home side had taken the lead. Brighton centre-forward Gatting, was on hand to find the net after centre-back Harry Worley was caught out.
Chelsea could have equalised just a minute later but Jack Watkins’ shot was too soft after good work from Shaun Cummings. Brighton’s Tommy Fraser cleared off the line.
Chelsea didn’t need to wait long for the equaliser. Scott Sinclair, playing on the left of the front three set-off 40 yards from goal, beat the Brighton defence with sheer pace and placed his shot wide of Sullivan. Arjen Robben would have been hurdling hoardings had he scored such a wonderful goal. Just nine minutes were on the clock.
Sinclair shot low again on 20 minutes, the ball forced out for a corner by Sullivan, but Chelsea were not dominating possession as they would have wished while the strongly-built Gatting, son of former Brighton player Steve, was continuing to prove a handful.
Big questions will be asked of the rearguard about the manner in which Brighton went ahead again on 21 minutes. Worley missed a header to allow Brighton to win a corner. Keeper Hamann missed the corner kick when it came over and after a almighty goalmouth scramble that saw at least two clearances off the line, Dan Leach forced the ball in.
It took until nine minutes from the break for Chelsea to threaten again. Sinclair was again the danger, his prod goalwards tipped round the post by Sullivan. A good double save by Hamann kept Brighton out as half-time approached.
James Simmonds curled a free-kick just wide as Chelsea looked to step-up a gear for the second-half but it took until midway through the before Brendan Rodgers’ youngsters opened Brighton up at the back.
Substitute Fabio Ferreira received James Simmonds clever ball and found Cummings in the centre. The Chelsea striker turned and shot but Sullivan was quickly out to him and beat the ball away.
Chelsea escaped further punishment with 14 minutes remaining when Tommy Elphick crashed a header against the crossbar from a corner.
Liam Bridcutt was booked for a lunge at Scott Chamberlain that sparked a mass confrontation. The Brighton player also saw yellow.
Time was running out as Chelsea broke quickly from the back. The ball was worked forward via Cork, Cummings and substitute Jonas Elmer but Sinclair sidefooted the chance just wide.
Brighton’s Hinshelwood was booked for blocking off a Sinclair run and in injury time James Simmonds became the second Chelsea booking as game ended messily.
