00:00Hi, I'm Mark Dunford, I'm here with Sam Morton from Sussex World. We are here, Sam, after

00:06Brighton have beaten Crawley 4-0 in the Carabao Cup. What did you make of that game?

00:09It was a weird one, wasn't it, Mark? Again, you look at the scoreline, you'd expect to

00:13say Brighton dominated and ran away with the game, which they obviously did in the end.

00:18Crawley should have scored for at least two or three goals, especially in that first half.

00:24Josh Flint had a couple of massive chances.

00:26Yeah, bizarre.

00:27Yeah, yeah, you didn't want the chances to fall to your left back, really. But Crawley

00:32did create lots of chances in the game and really did go toe-to-toe with the Premier

00:37League side, just like they did against Crystal Palace in pre-season. We saw a lot of those

00:41signs where Crawley really could carve open defence and create chances. Barth and Brugge

00:45made a couple of really good saves in that first half. It was a bit of a mystery how

00:49they were behind in the break, really. But Brighton, they showed their quality and they

00:54could have brought on Premier League quality players, all Premier League quality players

00:57at the end of the day and that really told. And the Scots made that point in their different

01:03nature of footballer, really. They could really be so clinical when they need to be and we

01:08really saw that in those key moments and Brighton were able to run away with the game in the end.

01:12Yeah, it started with a bit of bad news for Brighton, didn't it? A very, very heavy challenge

01:16by J Williams.

01:17Yeah, it was a fiery game, obviously, as we probably expected for a derby, which we've

01:21not seen in a competitive fixture since 1992. So I think probably the players really did

01:25get into that, especially Williams, who really did go in for a late challenge, really.

01:31He was lucky to stay on the pitch, really, wasn't he, when you see the replays?

01:34He should have been sent off 100 per cent. He didn't even get a yellow, which was pretty

01:37shocking because I think everyone could see how bad of a challenge it was. And just such

01:41a shame for the new Brighton man, Matt O'Reilly, who's now probably going to be out for a lengthy

01:46period of time. It was a bit of a concerning update from Josella in the post-match conference

01:51to say that he doesn't look good, he can't put any weight on his ankle. And you could

01:56see that as he was walking off the pitch at the time of the injury, he didn't look too

01:59good at all. So a real shame to see that. And obviously, there was that late red card

02:03as well with Jack Rowles going in late on Yassin Ayari as well. So a couple of bad challenges

02:09from Paulie's perspective and Scotland did apologise post-match for that. He said he

02:13didn't go out, the players didn't go out with the intention to hurt anyone and he would

02:17apologise for anyone that has been badly injured.

02:18Yeah. So yeah, I mean, like you say, the scoreline does look like it was a battering, but it

02:23wasn't. Crawley really did themselves proud. They had 55 per cent possession, I think,

02:27and it's what they normally do in games in League One. So not many teams are going to

02:31come here and dominate a sort of possession like that against Brighton, are they? But

02:35yeah, no, it was a shame it ended the way it did. There was a lot of boos and there

02:39seemed to be a bit fiery on the touchline. But at the end of the day, it was a good old

02:42derby, wasn't it?

02:43It was. It was a very entertaining game, very entertaining game to watch. That's all you

02:47can ask for as a spectator. But yeah, just a shame about those injuries and fingers crossed

02:52Matt O'Reilly's not too badly hurt and we'll see him back in action soon.

02:54Yeah, excellent. So we've got the live blog going, we've done player ratings, we've got

02:58Herzler and Lindsay Reaction up online at sussexworld.co.uk. Go and give it a look.

03:04Thanks for joining us.
