The match in full

The in-form winger tried to beat Griemink with a delicate chip which drifted just wide of the far post.

Swindon switched to a 3-5-2 system in an effort to become only the sixth side to avoid defeat in the League at Withdean this season.

The opening quarter of an hour, in which the visitors forced three corners, suggested they had not just come to roll over.

Swindon continued to enjoy their fair share of possession.

A superb piece of defending by Morgan thwarted a dangerous Swindon break midway through the half.

An Albion attack floundered when a Watson free-kick was cleared and Brooker over-elaborated as he tried to get in a shot.

Sabin turned past Mayo and made rapid progress into Albion territory, with a couple of colleagues unmarked to his left.

Morgan, a tower of strength since his move last summer from Fulham, showed all his experience to keep Sabin at bay with a perfectly timed challenge.

Hewlett collected the first caution of the contest on 23 minutes for a foul on Zamora on the left flank which angered the Albion marksman.

Hewlett had his name taken not so much for the severity of the offence as the fact that he had brought down Zamora a couple of minutes earlier.

Sabin had a good chance to give Swindon a shock lead when Cullip headed the ball up into the air.

Kuipers did enough to put the Frenchman off as he dashed from his line and Sabin failed to connect with a goal beckoning.

Most of the Seagulls' best moments so far had emanated from set pieces.

A trademark inswinging free-kick by Watson was thumped behind by Heywood.

Webb met Watson's resulting corner with a header from ten yards which looped over the bar.

Swindon had done enough as half time approached to quieten the crowd.

Their inability to hit the target, however, was demonstrated when Duke and Sabin did not hear referee Bates whistle and played on with the Albion players static.

Sabin still managed to miss the net from six yards out from Duke's cross before they realised their energy had been wasted.

The men from the Netherlands occupying both goals had seen little action in a scrappy, rather shapeless opening 45 minutes.

Jones invoked anger from Swindon skipper Gurney as he ran into the area and went down under a challenge from Duke.

Ref Bates rejected half-hearted claims for a penalty as Gurney vigorously protested that Jones had dived.

Swindon continued to make Albion fight hard for every ball, as demonstrated by a high challenge from Gurney on Brooker seconds before the break which earned him a ticking off.

Taylor decided on a change for the second half, Gray replacing Webb upfront.

Taylor was probably hoping the Seagulls could exploit the former athlete's electric pace against Swindon's sturdy back three of Willis, Reeves and Heywood.

Albion began the second period with a bit more urgency.

The Seagulls were still struggling to get their game together, with too many passes going astray.

The diminutive Young almost punished them, hooking an effort narrowly wide when the defence failed to deal convincingly with a long throw by Duke.

Another long throw from Duke was only half cleared, but Cullip dashed out quickly to charge down Howe's resulting shot.

Morgan kicked the turf in frustration as he over-hit a free-kick from a central position, aimed at Brooker hugging the right touchline.

It was indicative of a below-par performance by Albion, and they have been few and far between, particularly at Withdean.

Moments later Brooker injected some excitement with a weaving run, but his chip towards the far corner of the net and the lurking Zamora was clutched by Griemink.

A Watson corner, only Albion's second of the match, was eventually laid back by Cullip for Carpenter to drill over the bar from 25 yards.

Gray swivelled to shoot high over the bar as Swindon for once failed to clear their lines.

Morgan made a couple more timely interventions at the back for Albion before Swindon brought on McAreavey at the expense of Young.

Albion responded with another change of their own, Hadland coming on for Jones.

Hadland, on the right with Brooker moving to the left, immediately went close to breaking the stalemate from a through pass by Lewis with an angled shot which Griemink deflected for a corner.

Charlie Oatway replaced the injured Brooker in the closing stages.
