Brighton Friendly

[Berkshire Blue]

I see that they beat us 3 - 0. Anyone got info on the game or which team we put out?

Brighton ordered a blanket media ban on this BB, so no details I'm afraid.
Might be something to do with Potter wanting to keep his formations/line-up/trialists under wraps from the competition

[Pompey1984+1]

I've seen it said that Brighton insisted there was no reporting - can only imagine they had some trialists or something that they don't want to alert anyone too, or they made us play some of their fringe players!

According to The News, we took a full first team squad, and none of this two teams doing 45 minutes stuff. So I assume that it was virtually the first choice line-up for most of the game. Otherwise, just that Brighton were significantly better than Pompey, as you would expect, and that it was mostly a defensive test for the team. Being really stretched like that has got to be worthwhile.
