When Brighton announced their new manager, most Brighton fans were quickly googling him to see who he was.

Defeat could affect Newcastle mentality
While defeat at home against Brighton will be enough of a bitter pill to swallow, it could also have a big knock-on effect.
Winning mentalities are hard to come by, going into their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool, this could be a problem.
Eddie Howe will need to ensure he wraps Alexander Isak up in cotton wool between now and then, thet need the Swede to stand any chance of upsetting the odds at Wembley.
Gordon loses it for Magpies
Nobody will understand what went through the head of Anthony Gordon before he got sent off against Brighton.
He reacted to a nudge from the defender with an agressive two-handed shove into the player's face.
The red card and subsequent suspension will mean that he will miss the Carabao Cup final, leaving Eddie Howe short of attacking options against Liverpool.

Brighton looking to Bloom in cup
Having never won the FA Cup in their club's history, the fans will truly feel that this could be their year.
Owner Tony Bloom has invested well to allow The Seagulls to amass a squad full of talent.
While their performances in the Premier League will be seen as a big positive, pushing for European qualification, a trophy would certainly be the icing on the cake.

Another season goes by without Newcastle being able to get their hands on the FA Cup once again.
Losing Anthony Gordon to a red card could mean he will not be available for their Carabao Cup final.

Well maybe if Isak pulls his hamstring in the car park on the way home it certainly could.
