Poyet buoyed by Seagulls cup win

Saturday's game at Plainmoor only went ahead after a pitch inspection 30 minutes before kick-off, and the icy surface did not help a game desperately lacking in quality.[LNB]Andrew Crofts scored the only goal of the game 13 minutes from time when he rose to power home Gary Dicker's corner into the roof of the net.[LNB]"We came here to win the game. We know it is a difficult place to come and play, it is the FA Cup and it was a very professional performance," Poyet said. "It is the kind of performance you like to expect from the players. They had to be very patient and wait for their chance and after we scored, they defended the goal very well. I am very pleased for the club and the players."[LNB]Poyet reserved special praise for goalscorer Crofts adding: "He has been great for me so far. He is important for the team and he is now - from Friday - the official captain of the club.[LNB]"I think it is important when you name a captain that he is someone with nous and can take the responsibility and he has done that with the winning goal."[LNB][LNB]
