Adam Webster expects his Brighton debut to be a “physical” encounter as he prepares for a potentially hostile reception from Bristol Rovers fans.
Centre-back Webster joined Premier League Albion from Rovers’ bitter rivals Bristol City for a reported £20million at the start of the month.
The 24-year-old makes a swift return to the west country for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash at the Memorial Ground.
He is set to make his first Seagulls appearance in the second-round tie and is keen to avoid a shock result against League One opposition.
“The gap between the Premier League and the Football League is getting smaller, I know exactly what’s coming,” he told a pre-match press conference.
“It’s a passionate footballing city, it’ll be a physical game. Cup games are always big occasions, they’ll be eager to cause an upset.
“We have to know that and make sure we’re ready and prepared.”
Webster has so far had to remain patient at the Amex Stadium, warming the bench for three successive top-flight fixtures.
He is determined to seize an opportunity to impress Brighton head coach Graham Potter as he challenges first-choice centre-back trio Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy and Dan Burn for a regular starting role.
“It’s a chance to stake a claim to the new boss, as it is for all of the other lads who haven’t been playing,” he added.
“It’s about giving everything and doing as well as we can.”
Former Swansea boss Potter on Saturday suffered the first loss of his tenure when Brighton were beaten at home by Southampton.
The 44-year-old, who plans to make a number of changes, is eager for his side to bounce back from the weekend setback and begin a cup run.
“For us tomorrow is an important game, it’s a chance to learn more about one another and it’s a game we want to win,” he said.
“They’re an effective side who’ll give us a tough game at their stadium.”

On Webster.. I mean, does anyone really care? He was at City for like nine months, never played us and all that... after having Payne and then Snake, this just feels like a damp squib.
I'm sure he'll get a few boos from the family stand or whatever bloody parts of the ground are actually open but big who cares from me!

I’ll be completely honest. I’ve never heard of him. I don’t think anyone really cares.

How embarrassing. Nobody cares Adam. I think he thinks he’s the next Matty Taylor. As I’ve said, I genuinely have never heard of him. |

I had never heard of him, until Brighton signed him.
Well done him for leaving the Teds

Literally never heard to the bloke. I knew city sold some player for £20m, but didn't realise it was to Brighton.
I guess it's cute that he thinks we care.

I reckon he’s built himself up for a booing so much that if we cheered him it would sh** him up so much he would fall into the ground of our terrible pitch and come off injured after 29 minutes

Have to admit he is a quality centre back and if anyone knows anything about championship football would of seen he was probably the best centre half outside of the prem last season, don’t be surprised if he does not play for England over next 18 months

When he’s played I will enjoy his wide knowledge of PL football. Until then.... Perhaps the benches in the PL are more padded than those in EFL. 😉 UTG! |
