3. Difficult conditions
Wasnt easy to play football on this pitch but I think we done very well. Up to the next round. Thanks for the support from the fans again
The heavens opened an hour before kick off.
"It's an FA Cup shock pitch" says BBC Radio Stoke's Mick Cullerton. Come on Vale! #pvfc #sentinel
We are very pleased with the attitude and very pleased with the performance more than anything.It was a monsoon when we started warming up and we thought it would affect the pitch and the downpours would put the game into jeopardy. It was difficult but it made for a good cup tie
Big turnout for The Big Match at Vale Park. Bit like Siberia, I'd imagine. #pvfc #bhafc #FACup
4. Where's Liam ?
Liam Bridcutt the only notable absentee on the Albion coach which has arrived at Vale Park @BBCSussexSport
Red Beats Headphones for Leo Ulloa.
Keith Andrews keen for 11pm next Friday...
5. "A Tricky Mission Accomplished" - ITV Highlights
6. The Kids Are Alright
#BHAFC v #PVFC: Brezovan; Calderon, Dunk, Upson, Chicksen; Ince, Agustien, Forster-Caskey; Orlandi, Obika, March. #FACup
Oscar made 7 changes from the trip to Pride Park/iPRo last week. Ince, March, JFC, Dunk, Chicksen all Dev Squad veterans. Perhaps he had an eye on Tuesday...
7. But it paid off ...Three First Time Scorers
Jonathan Obika opens his #BHAFC account against Port Vale.
Spurs are keeping an eye out...
Loan watch - Jon Obika scored his first goal for Brighton today, the third goal in a 3-1 FA Cup win at Port Vale.
Definitely on purpose
Albion March on as Solly's super hit heads goalwards @bhafc @BrightonTogs
"Built Like a Marine...
Great to see Rohan Ince smiling after scoring against Vale @bhafc @BrightonTogs
Johnny Cantor when Rohan Ince opened the scoring...
Port Vale 0 BHAFC 1; BBC Sussex's Johnny Cantor "Rohan Ince - he's built like a marine but he showed the feet of a ballerina there " #bhafc
8. There's only one Mickey Adams...
Albion past and present before the kick off @BBCSussexSport
Warmth from both Albion and Vale fans towards Adams.
One Micky Adams sung consecutively by both sets of supporters. Nice touch. #bhafc
But not every fan feels the same
Oh Micky, you were so fine, you were so fine you blew our minds. But then you broke our hearts: http://t.co/NrFlUYGo5o #bhafc
But Adams never won my heart back. I will never forget the pain he caused me. Twice. Micky didn't a fuck about us when he left in October 2001. And I don't give a fuck about him now.That's why I hope we smash Port Vale tomorrow.
9. A glorious programme cover
Can't make it to the game. DONT WORRY! Our Matchday Digital Programme's ONLINE Check it out:- http://t.co/jyfliJKSob

10. Naylor's verdict - "Worthy Winners"
#bhafc safely through to the last 16 for the third time in four years with a bright performance. Worthy winners.
But let's not carried away
@SandraHunter9 Certainly do. With all due respect to Port Vale, much tougher tests await in the Championship.
Port Vale were 9th in League One...
11. Whilst Albion were at Vale Park...Holloway was getting one over on us again
#millwall first to the negotiating table with Williams. Holloway + Harford sold club to him. Mind was basically made up before #bhafc talks.
Transfer target; Shaun Williams inexplicably doesn't fancy being 3rd or 4th choice Centre Back and plumps for first team football at Millwall.
12. And it won't be that lot in the 5th round either...
I suppose with infinite time Palace would one day win the FA cup, but it would be a race to beat the monkeys typing the works of Shakespeare
@mrmarksteel you said it mark #bhafc
@robwinder I'm afraid even infinity wouldn't help Brighton, forcing philosophers to re-evaluate the nature of the universe.
13. Albion are #5 in the draw which is on ITV/BBC 5 Live at 5.15pm.
We're going to get Sunderland aren't we... #bhafc
In the 5th round pot so far: Liverpool, Swansea, Cardiff, Charlton, Man City, Arsenal, Sheff Wed, Southampton, Hull, Sunderland, Wigan and Everton.
14. Meanwhile, keep an eye out on the Dev Squad game tomorrow.
15. And now for Tuesday...
Don't forget we dropped a place to 8th yesterday...
16. And finally. There are 6 days left...
