Albion old boy Dean Cox was on target to help send his former club sliding tamely out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tonight.
A near full-strength Seagulls side lost 2-0 at home to Russell Slade's Leyton Orient in the first round.
Cox opened the scoring when he cut inside and fired in a 21st-minute drive which took a deflection over helpless keeper Casper Ankergren.
The former Seagulls wideman refused to celebrate and was applauded back to halfway by fans nearby in the North Stand.
If that was fortunate, what followed two minutes later was high class as Cox thumped a 20-yard volley against the bar with Ankergren beaten.
Jamie Jones kept Orient on terms just before the break, saving with his right foot from the clean-through Ashley Barnes.
Jones also pushed away a Glenn Murray penalty on 50 minutes.
But by then the hosts were two down thanks to Ryan Jarvis's free header from a free kick less than two minutes into the half.

See your back to normal losing at home to Orient. This is where the rot sets in and the bubble has burst. Still you must be elated to have won so many games in one season, good while it lasted. Wait till the liability Greer comes back opposing forwards will have a field day.

We have a mutual interest because you are fairly close rivals in the same league with a few player / manager connections.
It's good to see how the local opposition feel about their club, as I think you should be there or thereabouts come next May....
That said, I for one will guarantee that Swindon will finish higher in the league than you big spenders!
Any takers at even money are most welcome......

Never good to lose but if we are gonna play at wembley i would rather it was in the play offs than the P*ss pot trophy , would not swap this result for league points and we have a good collection of league points so far .

wole, brighton says... 9:59am Thu 2 Sep 10 Time and time again i have said that this is a poor Brighton side with a manager that has no clue in the transfer market. You will see where in the league Brighton are come May. Really? You think Calderon, Painter, Sparrow and LuaLua are poor players? I am not one of the 'Gus is God' squad but the standard of football has improved immeasureably since Poyet's appointment and I am certain the team will finish in the top half of the table at least. If you cannot see that this is so then I think you lack any clear judgement.

To the Swindon fans who are trying to take the moral high ground....I had a look at one of your forums during the Greer affair and while I couldn't read any of the wind-ups from Brighton's own keyboard warriors (everything even slightly contentious / disagreeable had been deleted by overly precious mods), the relentless homophobic and otherwise derogatory nature of a LARGE number of Swindon contributors' comments beggered belief.
I noticed that the rather pathetic overuse of the 'c' word added further lack of intellect that has informed my opinion very firmly of Swindon's far from classy 'online fans'....the foul languagemwasn't all Albion themed by the way.
As for the big spending remark, would you care to clarify how we've spent more than you? I think you'll find your Celtic aquisitions equate to our signings and we've only paid fees for Greer (£250,000?) and Barnes (£125,000).

Listening to the pre-match interview with Gus, I'm not surprised if Gus just simply told the boys to go out and treat it as a practise match as clearly to him, and to me, it was only the Johnston's Tin Pot.. a meaningless competition with the only reward being a trip to Wembley. If Gus had put more emphasis on it then surely the lads would have performed much better as you can see they do in the league which is more important than competitions like this!
