old combats, newer contests
Below is a list of clubs Brighton play for '13/14 Championship season (C), in our THIRD year at FALMER.
Over all there is quite a competitive and classy bunch on offer. Due to the yoyo nature of annual up/down scenarios, some previous opponents are now in our division. Teams with Premiership credentials will test us, as they aim to hit the big time once more. By anyones standards it will be one hell of a scrap (yeah, we say that every time!) - onward and upward!!
Our next fixture is always highlighted.

Class act in sitting position. |
| 5 | (Lewis Dunk) | OUT ON LOAN - defensive minded central player. '9/10 - as 18yo got fast tracked from youth side and immediate debut for 1st 11 after signing pro terms. Boy done good and big prospect for Falmer. Started with Wimbledon kids and lives locally so is an MKD loss. Snapped up by BHA and the ex-U18 wasn't six foot three then either. Jumped in pecking order. In '10/11 development squad. Injured foot - plaster. Cup tie home debut. Able defense deputy in derby and got class.

Sent off in reg home horror show and better away. Injured foot. Signed new deal and appreciated by GP. Returned and big job on. Got a goal and Gus really liked him more.

Excellent performances through season. 10 yellow cards - oh dear. Done hamstring but quick recovery. Voted PoY. Fractured foot - out for start of '11/12. CHAMPS - fits in with Latin hard man ethos but could he come back on top of his game? Became regular. Won an Egypt cap. '12/13 - was a revelation under Gus. Did the do and not bad for a guy under six feet tall. Ten yellows. Egypt call up. '13/14 - after an Egypt cap, must be first choice at club tho. |
| 7 | (Will Hoskins) | INJURED - forward; '11/12 - joined Albion in close season for 500k when Bristol R snatched our hand off. Good on the ball and played at higher level before ending up out west. Got some history at Rotherham and Watford. Useful record of goals to apps, getting 17 for Rovers prev term. '11/12 CHAMPS - Injury niggles at start of season. Got an away goal on debut as sub.

Wanted games but crocked knee - surgery, out for season. Contract extended. |
| 8 | ANDREW CROFTS * | 1ST 11 - midfield; 28yo came back to BHA in '12 from Norwich after two seasons away at higher level. Had spells with Gillingham following youth apps for Chelsea. Very able in the engine room and likes to get forward to take a chance. '12/13 - got injured but coulda been bigger asset this term. Lost edge and below par. '13/14 - can do a job up and back but first pick? In Welsh squad. |
| 9 | ASHLEY BARNES * | 1st 11 - Forward; '9/10 L1 - bit of a target man got in from Plymouth. 20yo liked to mix it up front and had been watched with regard to future prospects. Scored on debut and did ok as sub. Got more - nice finisher. Not a true lone front man, more an inside forward. Hold-up okish and needed a partner but did get goals. Made decision for permanent move. '10/11 L1; Found it tough and needed to be quicker when ball at feet. Scored volley to open account. Got chances but goal ratio did improve. Twice got brace and coulda had 2 hat-tricks. Missed plenty of opportunities after that. Injury niggles. Useful lg1 form and scored as impact player. 20 goal target reached. '11/12 CHAMPS - first choice for strike partner and delivered as sub. Got early apps and scored in them too. Needed better hold-up play. Struggled with this standard at times. Sent off - violent conduct. Did variety of roles and defends too. Leading scorer too. '12/13 - hey, Gus says lay off him! Got picked regularly and good in fits and starts. Had to be at best to impress and that meant scoring goals. Sent off twice. Long suspension. Contract extended. '13/14 - could be another centre forward these days. |
| 10 | KEMY AGUSTIEN | SQUAD - midfield; signed 2y deal after spell at Swansea. Dutch U21 int was with AZ Alkmarr in Holland. Had on loan period with Birmingham before joining Welsh in 2010. Likes to get stuck in but does attacking options as well. Looks useful. Spent a lot of time injured so far. |
| 11 | ANDREA ORLANDI | SQUAD - Spanish midfielder; signed from Swansea at Aug '12 deadline. 28yo got a two year deal. Most experience in Championship (50 apps) and lg1 (19 apps). Has played wide but is creative centrally and is versatile to boot. Fee undisclosed but not thought to be cheap. '12/13 - straight off the bench and no back number. Got flair but a bit too clever for our lot. Broke rib. Tough league to play in for tricky customer. '13/14 - part of the updated Spanish group and knows the score well in this league. Had knee surgery. |
| 12 | (Craig Mackail-Smith) | INJURED - striker; 2.5+ million pound pre-season '11/12 buy from Peterboro. He was shown Falmer by Gus and with the financial muscle of Tony Bloom, said 'yes' to become biggest BHA transfer deal. Looked quality prev league1 and a cut above journeyman forwards. Started in non-league in the southeast and a Scottish international by reason of the Mac bit. All but reached 100 goals for Posh over four seasons. Championship experience. '11/12 CHAMPS - Hit the net to get off mark and quickly added more. Goal for Scots in Euro comp qualifier. Worked hard but lacked service and therefore chances to score. Got a black eye too. Goal drought but got one from off bench. Disappointing goal total. '12/13 - considered special by Gus but not always lone front man. In and out of form and injuries. Achilles prob curtailed season. |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | INIGO CALDERON | SQUAD - Right back; offered contract at end of '9/10. Nasty hip injury curtailed short term success. Returned as Godfather Gus fav boy. '10/11 L1; Got to capt side on day1. Done well and liked to be up and back on right flank. Couple of cracking goals and all. Pretty fair full-back, needed to be tight defensively. Red card spoiled decent record. Slight loss of form in mid season, although super late season goals. Regular selection and voted in lg1 players team. PoY candidate. '11/12 CHAMPS - gave it a right pop, to see how far it goes. 5 Yellows & ban. Keyhole surgery on knee. Stunning strike for first goal. Lost his place but returned. Stand-in captain. '12/13 - competition for place and second choice. Competitive and likes to go forward again. Sent off at Leeds in match 45. Contract extended. '13/14 - chased any vacant wingback pos. Sent off in LC shambles. FA cancelled red card. |
| 15 | Adam Chicksen | FRINGE - left back; 21yo prospect signed in close season by managerless BHA's talent-spotter team in lieu of new head coach. Kid came from MK Dons and is delighted to be at the Amex. Well, who wouldn't be? '13/14 - got something to prove. |
| 16 | Casper Ankergren | BENCH - Keeper; 30yo Danish custodian with experience at Leeds in '9/10. Got a couple of years, signing just before first fixture. '10/11 L1; Got lucky at times and in/out form. Strong hands and regular saves away apps - many clean sheets. Not too convincing around the area. But did get PoM for Sept and Mar - clean sheets too. Beat three times in high scoring matches. Wound up crowds with slow play. Didn't chuck himself around too much. '11/12 CHAMPS - knew the score and it meant keeping things cleaner. Off the boil as campaign hotted up at this level - needed to up it fast. Dropped but back after Steve Harper left. Not comanding in area on crosses. Left on bench. '12/13 - guaranteed seat on bench. FA Cup flop. Failed to challenge for gloves. |
| 17 | STEPHEN WARD * | 1ST 11 - left back; 27yo brought on year-long loan from Wolves to fill vacant lb spot that Bridge shone in last term. Tough act to follow but has left foot so that's a start. Straight in to defence - did ok. |
| 18 | Jake Forster-Caskey | 1ST 11 - Mid-field or forward. Youngest ever teenager (16 and a little bit) to turn out for first team. Not big but hey, man enough to compete in FL and got the scars to prove it. Gus didn't rush him and included in new '10/11 develoment squad. Got England U17 credentials. World is his oyster if he can crack it. FAC5 app and looked Prem quality. '11/12 CHAMPS - gonna make the grade at some point in future. Sub on last day of 2011. Scored on full debut at New Year and on list for a reg place. Goal again in FAC3 on second start. Got crocked. '12/13 - got a bright future. Signed for another couple of seasons at least.

| 21 | DAVID LOPEZ MORENO * | SQUAD - midfield; right-sided player from Athletic Bilbao in Spain. 29yo got a one year deal in '12 and made over 150 apps in La Liga. Technically ok and likes to attack. Should be quality extra to BHA Spanish group and knows a few swear words already. Now one of five amigos. '12/13 - looked ok without setting the place alight. Superb at set pieces. Fans liked Spanish Dave - bit of a character. Offer expired - but signed 1y deal. '13/14 - went straight back in to team. |
| 22 | (George Barker) | OUT ON LOAN - striker; kid has been around Albion for a while and came thru youth ranks. Considered worthy of a pro future at the club and time will tell. '12/13 - went on loan Barnet. Later in squad due to shortage of strikers. '13/14 - went on loan to Newport. |

| 25 | KAZENGA LUALUA + | SQUAD - Winger; loaned from Newcastle '9/10. 19yo is a brother of Pompey's Congolese striker Lomana. Was ultra quick, can play l or r and a crowd pleaser. Done v good and form better. Got subbed - injured leg. Went home but came back. Remarkable recovery. Same pace but where was the quality? Then hamstrung in more ways than one. '10/11 L1; Gus got him again until New Year at least. Stunning first senior goal and faster than ever. Subbed away app - back and needs to be fresh. On fire and can be an inferno. Hot shot or what?
