The Upper Loft was closed so I ended up in the Lower.

The match programme listed a 42 Brighton squad

Brighton fielded a strong side & pretty much dominated possession.

Playing the ball from the back often resulted in it being given way, going for
a throw-in our own half twice & even ended up for a corner on one occasion.

Jake Clarke-Salter made an amazing clearance on the line.

Apart from making a vg save, Paul Nardi pushed the ball wide to safety.

There was another occasion when he had to quickly change direction to
grab the ball near the goal-line after the ball had been deflected.

Well done again to Rayan Kolli. He was always getting into space &
looking for the ball.

Jimmy Dunne did very well.

Ilias Chair was apparently in the Club Shop before the game.

Attendance: 7,767
And around 2,300 away fans.

Our usual problems of little interpassing around the area and few goal attempts were on show. I thought our
defending has vastly improved and we have yet another great goalkeeper to add to our long list. He looked
very calm under pressure.

Dunne had a great game and Kolli impressed until he tired.

The return of Chair will make a big difference as we missed his creativity.
