We lost to a strong Brighton side who were bigger, faster and stronger than us. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the opposition and say, Well done and good luck in the next round.

True but why play their game of ticky tacky when we are clearly so far inferior - a million miles from the Premier League.

Just home, crivvens its cold out there. Had to pop into the Queen of Iceni to warm up!

An amusing predictability about it all, spent the first 30 minutes thinking "You know these aren't much better than us". And then they were.

I'm not overly bothered frankly. Nice to see Josh back. Nunez went off injured.

Sat in a different seat, which was nice. But my God, the City stand is quiet.

I thought we had a decent go in the first half but as others have said Brighton were just a class above. Our forward players were toothless against such a well organised and technically gifted defence. Totally controlled the match,. especially after Nunez went off (hopefully still being eased back rather than injured?). Having Josh back is big - he only had one real moment in his cameo, but showed we have been missing his athleticism. By the way, is it really so hard to get a scoreboard to work?!

Yeah was funny that they gave up showing the score after 3 nil :p

Well,that's the cup out of the way for another year. Men against boys, although hopefully, the boys will have gained from playing men. Didn't spill my sipping stuff, but did think about it early on with Forsons effort. Hope Nunez ok

Glad I was working to be honest. Was it a strong Brighton side or the reserves?
Basically as strong as they could put out.

Pretty much my take on it. Brighton are known for being a quick, technically gifted side and that they are, but I didn't quite realise just how powerful they are as well. The most physically imposing side I can remember seeing at Carrow Road this season.

You should be ashamed of yourself...

After yesterday's chaos getting into the ground, I think I will give the FA cup a miss in future.

It is awful, isn't it? I mean I know it is a chance for people who don't normally go to games, but why are they all so clueless? You can't turn up ten minutes before a game. And why do they not know the alphabet? The amount of folk wandering around staring aimlessly at their ticket muttering a seat number was just ridiculous.

Nobody knows the words to "On the ball City" either.

Wankers.

Haven’t bothered with the Cups for years. Made a rare sortie to Carrow Rd v Fulham a few years ago. Full of day trippers and I swear some didn’t know we play in yellow and green. Surreal experience.

Fair play to those who on Saturday brave enough to risk damage to their extremities watching a predictable demolition.

Old habits are hard to break but I will give the FA cup a miss next year. Assuming of course that it's a home tie and I have managed to dodge the Grim Reaper again.
