Went to the game, mainly because Brighton opened up the corporate areas to anyone with £25. The Beef Jalfrezi I had far outshone the quality of the football. Burke was head and shoulders above everyone, Grealish kept tripping over the ball but linked up well with Burke and Robinson. Missed the second half though as the corporate hospitality got the better of me, according to Brighton fans who watched the rest of it Brighton scored a screamer from their only shot and we spurned a load of chances.
Burke did look an excellent prospect though and I met Gareth Barry who was watching his nephew play for Brighton. He said he still keeps an eye on Villa's progress, or lack of.
