MofM - Ashley Barnes (Brighton)
A winning start for Hendry in his first competitive game in charge of Brighton. We said he wanted to make an impact in this cup and he has made a promising start beating Gillingham 4-0 away from home with an outstanding performance from the players.

Declan Hendry started the season with his new team Brighton disappointingly as they lost to Bristol City 1-0 away from home. The performance from the players wasn't bad as the game was end to end with both teams creating chances, however it was The Robins who got the break through. Hendry spoke to the BBC afterwards "It wasn't the start we had planned. I had wanted to kick start the season with fireworks, to get the fans behind me allow them to know that there was great things to happen at this club throughout this season. We will bounce back and get our season properly started."
Still no win in the league for Brighton

MofM - Lewis Dunk (Brighton)
Two goals for the same player for the same team! Bet you didn't think you would ever hear that. Dreadful start for us as we went down 1-0 within 35 minutes thanks to Greer, however he redeemed himself by scoring at the other end (technically same end as it was the second half but anyway) on the 60th minute. Outplayed and passed off the park for the full ninty minutes. Definitely need to up our game if we want to make a commanding start in the league.

MofM - Ashley Barnes (Brighton)
Brighton thump Leeds United in their own backyard. Within 16 minutes of the game Brighton were leading 3-0 at this point Leeds United fans were off their seats and leaving the stadium full of rage at the performance their players had put out in the opening 15 minutes. Ashley Barnes of Brighton had an outstanding game scoring three goals his manager must surely be impressed with the game he had today. "This was the win we needed. We had trained hard for this all week and our training had paid off as the result shows. We need to carry this impressive display into our next game on Tuesday as we look to progress into the next round of the Capital One Cup. I'm proud of my boys today they deserve the win." Hendry after the game.

Declan Hendry's Brighton boys secured their place in the third round of the Capital One Cup by beating Notts County 1-0 at the Amex. Home supporters sounded their appreciation by chanting Hendrys name loud and clear plenty of times. This was the backing the chairman had asked for on the day he appointed Hendry and he fully deserves it after his last two performances from his team. "It's great to hear the reception. My boys are motivated and play with great passion for this club. We need the backing from the fans and when we win they sound their appreciation for more and that is what we will give them." Hendry speaking to Sky Sports.
