Brighton boss Hughton calls for calm heads against Millwall

Brighton boss Chris Hughton has called for calm heads facing FA Cup opponents Millwall.

The Seagulls travel to south London for their Emirates FA Cup quarter-final knowing that a place in the final four awaits the winner, and the boss has called on his players to manage the contest.

He said, “It will be a big atmosphere, and we'll need calm and cool heads out on the field.

“We did that well last weekend - not because of the opposition, but because it's a cup tie away from home where you expect the crowd to be very vocal.

“In that sort of environment and game, particularly at the start, you need composure and players who will make good decisions and not make rash challenges - in that central midfield area, we'll need that bit of composure."
