Comments :

A first half header on his return debut from Adam Virgo gave Brighton a deserved lead in the first half.  - Brighton continued to dominate and should have extended their lead before Zola equalised and looked to have secured a point for the home side. In the final minute however, Forster broke through to score with a lovely finish to give Brighton all 3 points.   - A fine beginning to the new season and Mickey Adams'' first game in charge on return to the club.   - Gresty Road itself is a nice little ground, tucked into the town and with a nice old feeling to it. The home fans also seemed very friendly in the pub before the match.   - Away Attendance: 817
