  10. 'Kostoulas pushing to start' - Cantor

    BBC Radio Sussex reporter Johnny Cantor believes that Charalampos Kostoulas is playing himself into contention for a place in Brighton's starting 11.

    The 18-year-old impressed in his substitute appearance against West Ham, and forced a smart save from Alphonse Areola on an afternoon on which Brighton struggled to hit the target.

    Since signing in June, the Greek forward has made six Premier League appearances from the bench for Brighton, scoring a late goal at Manchester United, but is yet to make his full league debut.

    "I thought he livened things up," said Cantor, speaking on the Albion Unlimited podcast. "Keen to shoot, nice close control.

    "He protects the ball really well. He's not the biggest of players, and he's only young, of course, but he doesn't seem to lose the ball in possession that much.

    "His body positioning is really good. He's alert and quite creative.

    "I think he will be pushing to be involved from the start soon."

  21. Dunk's 500: 'Let's enjoy him while we have him'

    Our captain, Lewis Dunk, has now eclipsed 500 games for the club. I've run out of words to explain just how much of a legend he is, but I would be doing him a disservice if I didn't dedicate today's message to him.

    When Dunk emerged onto the scene, a fresh-faced teenager who was unafraid of any battle he was faced with, few would've predicted the journey he would embark on as the Albion's number five.

    Our song to him in the stands is Withdean to Wembley, and it captures his and the club's growth in such a poignant way in just a few words.

    There were initial worries that Dunky would be a player who would make rash decisions leading to red cards that would impact his team negatively, but he shouldered his responsibility with maturity beyond his years and developed himself into one of the most reliable players you could ever ask for.

    There have been many iconic Lewis Dunk moments - such as emerging from a pitch invasion when we got promoted with nothing but his pants on - but my stand-out memory has to be his goal in our 2-1 victory away to Fulham in that promotion season.

    Dubbed 'The Five Minutes at Fulham', it just had to be him to boost confidence that we would finally reach the promised land.

    From seeing him walk out as captain in the Europa League, to watching him boss the backline against some of the very best in the world, there are no words left to describe Dunk.

    Of course, players don't last forever, and there will one day be a Brighton without our ever-present rock at the back. So, let's enjoy him while we have him, because I'm not sure there will ever be another like him.
