00:32 - Hello and welcome to Latest TV News.
00:34 My name is Sam Morton and I'm going to be speaking
00:36 to reporter and Brighton fan Henry Bryant
00:39 about Albion's upcoming games against Nottingham Forest
00:41 and AEK Athens amid a concerning injury crisis at the club.
00:46 First, here are the top stories from across the county.
00:49 A major high street retailer is set to open
00:51 a new store in Bexhill.
00:53 Fashion retailer Peacocks is currently advertising
00:55 for a store manager to run its new branch,
00:57 which is expected to be based at the former M&Co Shop
01:00 in Devonshire Road in the town.
01:03 The advert, which appears online at simplyhired.co.uk reads,
01:06 "If you would like to be part of a forward-thinking business
01:09 "and have a job with excellent career prospects,
01:10 "we would love to hear from you."
01:12 M&Co's store in Devonshire Road was one of a number
01:15 of branches that shut its doors in April this year,
01:18 after the fashion chain went into administration
01:20 just before Christmas last year.
01:21 M&Co, which was first set up in 1834 as a pawnbroker's
01:25 in Paisley, Scotland, before becoming a closed retailer
01:28 in the 1950s, had a presence in Bexhill
01:30 for more than 20 years.
01:32 In April this year, Peacocks was reported
01:34 in the national press as saying it was looking
01:36 to open new stores in 20 former M&Co sites.
01:39 A Hastings man has been arrested on suspicion of arson
01:42 after a 99-year-old woman was taken to hospital
01:44 following a fire in Bexhill.
01:46 East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said
01:48 firefighters were called to the scene in St Mark's Close
01:51 just after 9.50 p.m. last Monday.
01:53 A spokesperson said the fire broke out
01:56 in a first-floor masonnet, which affected
01:58 the first floor and roof space.
02:00 The spokesperson said firefighters were mobilised
02:02 from Bexhill, Hastings, The Ridge, and Bohemia Road,
02:05 Eastbourne, Pevensey, and Burwash.
02:08 At the height of the incident,
02:10 six fire engines were in attendance.
02:11 An aerial ladder platform and the incident control unit
02:14 also attended.
02:15 Police said a 99-year-old woman, a neighbour,
02:18 was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation treatment
02:20 and is recovering in hospital.
02:22 A 26-year-old man from Hastings has been arrested
02:24 on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life,
02:27 has been released on bail while inquiries are ongoing.
02:30 Anyone with any information is asked to report it online
02:32 or via 101, quoting 1457, on the 13th of November.
02:36 Southern Rail and Gatwick Express services
02:38 are set to be affected by strike action next month.
02:41 Industrial action will take place across the country
02:43 from Saturday, December 2nd, to Friday, December 8th,
02:46 with Southern and Gatwick Express services
02:48 due to be affected on Wednesday, December 6th.
02:50 A different part of the country is set to be impacted
02:52 by the strikes each day of the week, apart from Monday,
02:55 as the ramifications of the rail industry
02:57 will be greater, Aslef said.
02:59 This is likely to cause cancellations,
03:01 and Southern Rail has said it is waiting for confirmation
03:03 on how this will affect the service.
03:04 Additionally, an overtime ban may cause further disruption
03:07 throughout the week.
03:08 A spokesperson for Southern Rail said,
03:10 "We are aware that the Aslef Union has announced
03:12 that strike action will take place by its members."
03:15 It has also been announced that there will be an overtime ban
03:17 from Friday, December 1st, until Saturday, December 9th.
03:21 Train services for these days are yet to be confirmed.
03:24 Christmas officially comes to town
03:25 on Saturday, the 25th of November,
03:27 with a festive light switch on in Eastbourne Town Centre,
03:29 organised by Your Eastbourne Bid.
03:32 The Town Centre will be illuminated
03:33 for the festive season to make the town
03:35 even more attractive for residents and visitors
03:37 to do their Christmas shopping.
03:39 The official Christmas light switch on
03:40 is at 6pm on Saturday, with local community arts group
03:44 Angelica Vocal Academy pressing the button
03:46 at the Terminus Road events.
03:49 Your Eastbourne Bid has reinstated the lights
03:50 from last year, covering all areas within the bid,
03:53 and has also invested in a new display
03:55 in Terminus Road, from Bankers Corner to Blacks.
03:58 St. Wilfrid's Hospice is set to open a new store in Polgate.
04:01 The new store is one of 12 St. Wilfrid's Hospice stores
04:04 in the county.
04:05 The new shop will stock a range of items,
04:07 including clothing, toys, a brick-a-brack,
04:09 as well as new greeting cards,
04:11 and will host a grand opening event on Friday,
04:13 November 17th at 10am.
04:15 And now Henry and I will be speaking
04:17 about Brighton's upcoming games against Nottingham Forest
04:19 and AEK Athens in the Europa League.
04:22 Henry, after the international break,
04:24 how would you assess Brighton's situation?
04:27 Obviously they've had a few injuries,
04:28 not many players featured in the break,
04:30 so how do you see Brighton now after this break
04:32 going into the next round of games?
04:33 - Well, I think we needed that break, to be honest with you.
04:35 You've got a lot of players that are tired,
04:38 as you can see with that 1-1 draw
04:40 that we had against Sheffield United.
04:41 We just looked a little bit lacklustre,
04:44 we looked a bit fragile after 45 minutes,
04:48 where we sort of almost lost the game
04:51 when we got a red card,
04:52 and just the energy level sapped massively.
04:55 So I think we definitely needed that international break,
04:58 to be honest with you.
05:00 We haven't had loads of people play, like you said.
05:03 We had Ferguson that did end up playing,
05:05 but he's injured his hamstring,
05:07 and that's gonna be a blow for us.
05:09 But I think overall, it was a good time
05:11 for us to recuperate and hopefully get some wins,
05:15 because we've been drawing the past six games,
05:18 you haven't had a win.
05:20 So yeah, it's now time for us to bounce back
05:22 and hopefully make sure that this counts now.
05:25 - Yeah, and you mentioned Evan Ferguson,
05:27 obviously he was struggling with a back injury
05:29 before the break, so maybe some would think
05:31 that he maybe shouldn't have played
05:32 during that international break and to rest a bit longer,
05:35 but obviously he did play,
05:35 he's obviously a really key player for his country,
05:38 and he picked up a hamstring injury, which is a real blow,
05:41 and it's unclear at the moment
05:42 how long he's going to be out for.
05:44 He's obviously been a little bit injury-prone
05:46 in his Bryson career so far at such a young age,
05:48 is that a concern going forward,
05:50 or do you think it's something
05:51 which he'll get used to as he gets older?
05:53 - I think he's a young player that wants to play,
05:55 and he wants to play well, he wants to get stuck in,
05:57 and he wants to take all the opportunities he's getting,
06:00 'cause he's a young man,
06:01 and he's playing very, very well at the moment,
06:04 and there's not a lot of young players doing that,
06:06 so for him, I feel like every opportunity he can get,
06:09 he'll take, I think maybe a little bit of naivety
06:12 to maybe mess out some of those games
06:14 where he is probably feeling something
06:17 in a part of his body or has an injury
06:19 that seems to be kind of festering,
06:22 but I think that overall, he's a player
06:25 that just kind of needs to keep concentrating
06:27 and keep making sure that he assesses himself regularly
06:31 because he doesn't want to have these injuries constantly
06:35 because he's a player with a lot of potential.
06:37 - Yeah, and another player that missed the international,
06:39 got injured before the international break
06:41 and missed the games as a result was Karim Matoma,
06:44 obviously a fantastic player.
06:45 He's probably not been at his best this season,
06:47 as amazing as he was last year.
06:49 He's obviously set those really high standards,
06:51 but he's missed those games for Japan
06:53 and it's unclear at the moment
06:54 if he'll be available for the weekend,
06:56 but how important is he and how important
06:58 that he is back as soon as possible?
06:59 - Well, he's such a quality player for Brighton.
07:01 I think when you talk about Brighton and Hove Albion,
07:04 the way that we play football, it's exciting,
07:06 it's fast-paced, it's aggressive,
07:09 and that is what Matoma is as an attacking midfielder,
07:12 to be honest with you.
07:13 He'll go on the wings to really push that defence
07:17 and make sure that we get some clear-cut chances,
07:20 and he's been the difference in a lot of games,
07:21 especially last season.
07:23 I think that now what you've got to see with him
07:25 is he's been tired.
07:28 The international break has probably come at a good time
07:30 for him as well because he was tired in the few games
07:33 leading up to the international break.
07:35 So hopefully, I really do hope that he can get back
07:39 to his form from last season, to be honest,
07:42 because he's had a lot of games under his belt.
07:44 He's been playing in Europe, playing for Brighton,
07:48 and I think now, hopefully, is the time that he can
07:51 recover from this injury and get back on it.
07:54 - Yeah, absolutely.
07:55 We've not even mentioned Louis Stunk,
07:56 James Milner, Pervez Estepinan, Danny Woelbeck.
07:58 It seems there's such key players out,
08:00 Sonny March, out for the rest of the season.
08:03 How do you think Brighton will cope
08:04 with these big players that are out?
08:06 Obviously, we're not sure on Louis Stunk
08:07 if he'll be around for the weekend,
08:09 but with two big games coming up against
08:11 Nottingham Forest and Athens in Europa League,
08:13 how do you think Brighton are going to be able
08:15 to cope with them without these players?
08:16 - Well, when you look at the players that are out,
08:18 you're looking at leaders, you're looking at players
08:20 that dictate their positions on the pitch.
08:23 You've got Louis Stunk, Leeds from the back,
08:26 the captain, the Brighton boy.
08:28 So to not have players like him and Estepinan as well
08:31 that did so well last season, I think they were just
08:35 walls in defence that were unbreakable at times,
08:38 and also the difference in games where
08:40 maybe we haven't had the best performance.
08:43 So at the moment, I'm slightly nervous, to be honest.
08:46 I am slightly nervous.
08:47 I think that we've had a lot of hype
08:50 building up from last season.
08:52 Obviously, we're still doing well in Europe.
08:54 We're second in the group after a shoddy start,
08:57 and there's a lot of pressure on us to perform.
09:00 And I think that that pressure's mounting
09:02 a little bit more because of the fact that
09:04 we're running out of players of the quality that we had,
09:08 because a lot of them are injured at the moment.
09:11 And you mentioned, I've seen Nottingham Forest coming up.
09:14 Really tough game.
09:15 They're in a bit of form.
09:16 Got some really dangerous players
09:19 in their own ground as well.
09:20 And with those injuries, how do you see that game going?
09:21 Do you think it would be a comfortable game
09:24 or really difficult to test?
09:25 Well, I shook my head then because, I mean,
09:28 before the international break, their last game,
09:30 they had a 3-2 loss against West Ham.
09:33 They were away and they lost in the 88th minute
09:36 because of Thomas Duszek.
09:38 So I feel like they were quite unlucky on that,
09:40 and they had a really good performance
09:42 after analysing the game.
09:44 I think they're going to be coming back
09:45 with a lot of tenacity, feeling like they can win this
09:50 because they're at home as well.
09:51 They're going to have that advantage.
09:53 I think coming out of the international break
09:55 and into a game like that,
09:56 I think it's all set up to be quite a tough game
09:58 for Brighton, to be honest.
10:00 And with the injuries, like you said and mentioned,
10:03 it's going to be one of those ones where
10:06 it's going to be the first 10 minutes
10:08 that really decides what's going to happen.
10:11 Are we going to get our form?
10:12 Are we going to be aggressive?
10:13 Or are we going to be a little leaky in defence?
10:16 It's one of those ones that you kind of need to watch
10:18 for yourself and think, right, let's see what's going on.
10:22 - Yeah, and how do you see Brighton lining up for the game?
10:24 What kind of players do you think will really stand out
10:26 for them with the injuries they've got?
10:28 Who needs to stand up and make themselves counted?
10:31 - Well, I think Van Gecke, he needs to perform.
10:34 He's been a rocking defence recently
10:37 when we played against Ajax.
10:39 I know we've beaten them 2-0 at home,
10:41 2-0 away to them as well.
10:43 Van Gecke in the matches we've played in the Europa League,
10:46 he's really performed.
10:48 And even Lewis Duncan's praised him at times in interviews
10:50 saying that he has been playing really well.
10:53 - Welcome to this week's Goalmouth Action Podcast
11:06 where we take a look at all the latest goings-on
11:08 at Brighton and Hoverby and Crawley Town
11:10 in Sporting Sussex.
11:12 I'm Matt Poul and I'm joined by Crawley Town expert
11:14 Mark Dunford, Sussex Sport guru Steve Bone
11:16 and Sam Morton, who covers both Brighton and Hoverby
11:19 and the Reds.
11:20 This week, we'll take a look at Brighton and Hoverby
11:22 in season so far ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip
11:24 to Nottingham Forest.
11:25 Meanwhile, Crawley Town suffered a somewhat controversial
11:28 loss at Barrow as one of last season's Reds heroes
11:30 came back to haunt Scott Lindsay's side.
11:32 We'll pick over the bones of the Reds' defeat in Cumbria
11:34 and bring you up to speed with how our side in Sussex
11:37 did in last weekend's FA Trophy second round clashes.
11:40 You can read all the stories we're talking about
11:42 with videos and pictures online at
11:43 sussexwell.co.uk/sport
11:46 and you can check out other great videos on
11:47 shotsdv.com and freeview channel 276.
11:51 Before we get started,
11:52 Albi and Wendy went into the November international break
11:54 with a 1-1 draw against struggling Sheffield United.
11:57 The Seagulls led for much of the game
11:58 through Simon Odinga's wonderful early opener,
12:00 but were left to a failure to convert their dominance
12:02 into further goals.
12:03 Sam, Morton, how would you sum up that performance?
12:05 Probably not the way Brighton wanted to head into
12:07 the international break.
12:09 No, it wasn't.
12:10 It was a really frustrating game for Brighton.
12:13 It was one that they should have won.
12:14 They were on top for most of the game.
12:17 They got, obviously, a really early lead,
12:19 which is exactly what they needed.
12:21 You felt an early goal could really have set them on
12:24 to an easy victory against a side that's obviously
12:27 right at the bottom of the league.
12:28 I think they were bottom at the time
12:30 and it didn't go their way.
12:31 I think they had lots of the ball,
12:34 a few chances they didn't take,
12:36 but the longer the game stayed 1-0,
12:38 the more concerned you were that Sheffield
12:39 might peg a goal back.
12:41 And obviously the red card was a huge turning point
12:43 on the day.
12:45 De Hood, blatant red card, really.
12:47 He kind of had a moment of madness at the time
12:50 and obviously it cost them and Brighton conceded
12:54 not long after that and couldn't find a winner.
12:56 So a really frustrating draw.
12:58 I think it definitely was two points dropped
13:00 and obviously extended their winless run in the league.
13:04 So yeah, really frustrating.
13:06 And also De Serby was very angry after the game
13:08 and basically he hated, not hated, but disliked
13:13 80% of English referees.
13:15 So he wasn't actually unhappy with the red card itself.
13:18 It was just everything else,
13:19 every other decision that went against him during the game.
13:22 So yeah, a really frustrating one for Brighton
13:24 and not the ideal way to go into the international break.
13:27 - Well, you mentioned it there.
13:28 It does seem as if the game very much turned
13:30 on the De Hood red card, Sam.
13:32 He, despite what De Serby said about referees,
13:34 he must have been absolutely tearing his hair out
13:37 at De Hood's red.
13:38 - Yeah, well, exactly that.
13:40 And I think he must've been frustrated
13:42 at the player himself for what he did.
13:44 It was just crazy, really.
13:45 I think just kind of a stamp on the back of
13:47 the Sheffield player's leg
13:48 and you're not really sure what he's thinking at the time.
13:51 But they definitely still had enough to hold on.
13:55 And I suppose the injuries didn't help though.
13:56 I think they obviously had Lewis Dunk out
13:58 from his injury at Ajax
14:00 and they've had all sorts of injury problems
14:02 going into the international break.
14:03 And hopefully that's given some time
14:04 for those players to come back into action.
14:07 I know that Estu Pinian doesn't look great.
14:09 I think there's this picture on Instagram
14:11 of his leg strapped up and it doesn't look great.
14:14 So he could be out for a while.
14:16 We're still waiting for updates on Lewis Dunk,
14:18 Tarek Lampety.
14:19 And it looks like Evan Ferguson played
14:21 for the Republic of Ireland last night,
14:23 even though he seemed to put his hand
14:24 up against the Netherlands.
14:26 He came on as a sub again yesterday.
14:27 So they're obviously not too concerned about him.
14:30 Which is obviously good.
14:31 So yeah, it'll be interesting to see
14:33 on Friday at the press conference,
14:34 what players will be ready after the break.
14:36 - Well, you've kind of alluded to it there, Sam.
14:39 But Brighton have now scored in 29 successive league games,
14:42 but have now gone 16 without a clean sheet.
14:45 The draw against the Blades extended
14:46 their current winless league sequence to six games,
14:48 which is the longest such run under Edberto De Serby.
14:52 That all being said, Sam,
14:53 what have you yourself made of Erbion's recent performances?
14:56 - It's been a funny one.
14:57 Because at the start of the season,
14:58 they were flying in the league
15:00 and they're not able to pick up three points in Europe.
15:03 And then suddenly it's just completely switched.
15:05 At some point in the season,
15:06 they've managed to pick up four in Europe,
15:08 get a draw and two wins in a bounce,
15:11 which has put them in a really good position
15:13 to qualify for the next stage.
15:15 But their league form has kind of paid the price
15:17 because of that.
15:19 And obviously they're still trying to find that balance
15:21 of the team.
15:22 They've made lots of changes each game,
15:24 but they definitely haven't adjusted
15:26 as well as they would have liked
15:27 to playing two games every week.
15:30 Definitely has been a tough learning experience for them
15:34 and obviously not at all helped by the injuries.
15:37 I think they definitely will be looking
15:38 at the January transfer market as an opportunity
15:40 to maybe bolster the ranks in some of the positions,
15:43 especially left back, which has been a real problem area.
15:46 And maybe even striker,
15:47 with Danny Weld being out for the foreseeable.
15:49 Evan Ferguson is a little bit injury prone this season.
15:53 And you wonder if there is an option
15:54 to bring Dennis Inderp back
15:55 because he was obviously sent out on loan.
15:58 So there's definitely some problems with squad depth,
16:02 I think, so far this season.
16:03 That's not helped the situation.
16:05 - Again, you've mentioned it,
16:07 Brighton currently have almost a full 11 out with injuries.
16:10 You've mentioned the likes of Louis Dunn,
16:11 Perves Estupinian, Danny Welbeck,
16:13 but you've also got Solly March, Julio Enciso,
16:16 Tarek Lamptey.
16:18 The injury list is numerous,
16:20 but does this excuse Albion's poor form at the moment, Sam?
16:25 - I'd say it's definitely a big factor.
16:26 I think they've obviously got enough
16:28 to beat Sheffield United at the end of the day.
16:30 I think they should have won on the day.
16:32 They had a lot of injuries,
16:33 but they still should have won that game.
16:35 And they just didn't take the opportunities when they came.
16:38 I think the goal was obviously unlucky,
16:40 an own goal from Adam Webster.
16:42 So it was one of those, really.
16:44 I think it's kind of reminiscent
16:46 of the pre-Disservity era, really,
16:48 when Brighton would be completely dominant
16:51 for the whole game and somehow managed
16:53 to drop two points or even worse.
16:56 So it's a strange one, but I think if they get started
17:00 to get some of these players back from injury,
17:01 maybe bring a few more players in in January,
17:03 I think it definitely will help.
17:05 But I think there's nothing really wrong
17:07 with the performances as such.
17:09 I think in the league, they've been performing well.
17:11 They definitely should have got more points
17:12 from the way they've been playing.
17:14 So I don't think there's too much to be concerned about
17:15 in that sense.
17:16 And obviously their form in Europe is fantastic as well,
17:18 of beating Ajax two games on the bounce.
17:21 And you go to the Johan Cruyff Arena
17:24 and comfortably beat them 2-0 in their own backyard.
17:26 It just shows how brilliant Brighton can be.
17:30 And I think that that just shows
17:31 there's no reason to be overly concerned.
17:34 - You mentioned there, but for all the time
17:36 that Brighton are in Europe, Sam,
17:38 do you think critics, maybe not necessarily critics,
17:40 but people will always say that maybe they're going
17:43 to be overstretching themselves in Europe
17:45 and this is just a season of trying to get up to speed
17:47 with things, or is that, again, another excuse?
17:51 - Yeah, I think probably a little bit of an excuse,
17:53 but I think it's such a big opportunity for the club.
17:55 It's a historic season.
17:56 I don't think anyone's really complaining
17:58 that they're in Europe.
17:59 It's just the opportunity it's given the players, the fans,
18:02 and it's just been incredible, really,
18:04 to be able to travel around these places in Europe
18:06 that they wouldn't have otherwise have been to.
18:09 And I think they would definitely take that
18:11 over the alternative, which is just to play
18:13 Premier League every week.
18:14 So I think it's just getting used to that.
18:16 I think they're so new to it,
18:18 the players are so new to that,
18:20 and it will take a little bit of time to adjust
18:21 to playing these European games
18:24 and then having to refocus for the league.
18:27 And I can't imagine that was easy.
18:29 I suppose after beating Ajax 2-0 in the Netherlands,
18:32 having to play Sheffield United on the Sunday
18:35 with not a lot of time to prepare
18:36 probably wasn't an easy task.
18:39 I did ask Jason Steele after the game
18:41 if that was a tough thing to do,
18:42 and he said the players were fully prepared
18:44 and they had enough time,
18:45 but you wonder mentally where they're at
18:47 after the highs of Thursday night.
18:50 But De Servi obviously treated it as a must-win game,
18:52 and he really was desperate for that win against Sheffield.
18:55 So I'm sure he's been working really hard
18:57 over the international break
18:58 to fix some of those problems.
19:01 - Albion currently sit eighth in the Premier League
19:03 and in contention to qualify from their Europa League group.
19:06 But if you could change one thing
19:07 about Brighton's season so far, Sam, what would it be?
19:09 You've kind of touched on squad depth.
19:11 Would that be the main area?
19:12 - Yeah, I'd say squad depth.
19:13 I think if you could stop any injuries.
19:16 I think when the season started,
19:17 we were all saying how brilliant the squad depth was.
19:19 We had so many different options.
19:20 I think the fact that De Servi has been making
19:22 six, seven changes every week
19:24 does suggest that the squad depth is really good,
19:26 and he's got those options in the squad.
19:28 - We're gonna have a quick stroll
19:29 down Steve Bones' school prediction corner.
19:31 We'll start with you, Steve.
19:32 Brighton away at Forest.
19:33 Are we gonna say a draw again?
19:36 - I am gonna go for a draw,
19:37 'cause at the start of the season,
19:38 I was predicting draws for Brighton every week,
19:40 and they didn't draw any of those games.
19:42 And since I've stopped predicting that,
19:44 they've started drawing games.
19:45 So if I go back to predicting a draw,
19:48 they might win, if you can follow that.
19:51 I'll go one-all.
19:53 - Sam, you said two-all.
19:54 Are you sure about that?
19:56 - Yeah, sticking with two-all.
19:57 Yeah, an entertaining game, I'm expecting.
20:01 And yeah, Brighton will fall just short of a win.
20:05 - Go on, Mark, give us an optimistic outlook.
20:08 - No, not going to.
20:09 I think Forest are gonna win this one.
20:11 I think Brighton went there at the end of last season,
20:13 didn't they, and lost, I think.
20:16 It was quite a poor performance.
20:17 So I think Forest are gonna win 2-1.
20:21 - And then Crawley are at home to Harrogate,
20:24 and then await Notts County.
20:24 How do you see those two going in terms of scoreline, Mark?
20:28 - I think they'll beat Harrogate on Saturday.
20:31 I'm going for a 2-0 win on Saturday.
20:34 Notts County, tough old trip.
20:37 They're doing very well to get a draw,
20:38 but I think County might edge it.
20:39 They won the FA Cup tie-free, too.
20:42 I'm gonna go for 2-1, Notts County.
20:45 - Sam Morton, how do you see those two going for Crawley?
20:48 - Very similar.
20:48 I think Crawley will beat Harrogate 2-1.
20:51 I think their defence is a little bit leaky,
20:53 so I can't see a clean sheet.
20:56 And then Notts County, I think a 3-1 defeat,
20:58 'cause it's a very, very tough place to go.
21:00 I think they were a little bit unlucky
21:01 in the FA Cup recently, but yeah,
21:04 I can't see them getting much.
21:06 - And last but by no means least, Steve,
21:07 how do you see it going for Crawley over this next week?
21:10 - Yeah, not much different, really,
21:12 but I'm gonna go Crawley 3, Harrogate 2 on Saturday,
21:16 Notts County 3, Crawley 2 next week.
21:21 - Oh, that's old law.
21:22 - That is good.
21:24 - Excellent, we shall wait with bated breath
21:25 and see whether those predictions are right.
