Kuszczak has Cup sympathy

Tomasz Kuszczak
Tomasz Kuszczak feels sorry for Peter Brezovan after his rival goalkeeper was overlooked for Albion’s big FA Cup win.
Brezovan replaced injured No. 1 Kuszczak in the win at Huddersfield in mid-November.
The giant Slovak has been on the bench in the Championship ever since but boss Gus Poyet chose Casper Ankergren for last Saturday’s third round victory against Newcastle at The Amex.
Kuszczak said: “Obviously I want to play in all games but the gaffer decided to give a game to Casper.
“I want to play against a Premier League team at home with a great atmosphere but I respect the decision.
“I feel sorry for Peter Brezovan, because he has been travelling with the team for the last two months and he was out straight away.”
Kuszczak is expected to return for today’s home game against fellow play-off challengers Derby County after keeping a clean sheet against them in a 0-0 draw at Pride Park in October.
The Polish international said: “It’s a big game. We are equal on points with them and it’s games like this we have to win to move forward, definitely.
“We had a good game there which we should have won. We had a few chances and played well. It was one of the games we think we should taken three points from and I hope we are going to do that at home.”

It is so rare that a third choice has to stand between the posts that one might consider it a luxuary to even have one. Yes we had to use him a few weeks ago but as I say, it's a rare need.
I say this in connection with the news that we lost 8 million last year.
