MONDAY: Bobby Zamora reflects on his club record-equalling eighth goal in eight successive appearances against Bury.

"To take a record with me is nice," he says. "It was definitely up there with my best goals. I was really happy with the one last season against Halifax, but this one was very nice as well.

"The keeper made my mind up. He was on his 18-yard line, so I just thought I would have a bash."

TUESDAY: Boss Peter Taylor attacks his critics after revealing the club have received letters moaning about negative tactics.

"People are getting blinkered into thinking we are the only team that should get maximum points by scoring loads of goals," says Taylor.

"People should really appreciate how we are going. In the league we have won five and drawn three, which I think is incredible."

Taylor changes his mind and fields the fringe players instead of a full-strength side for the LDV Vans Trophy southern section quarter-final at Cambridge United.

Steve Melton puts the Seagulls ahead but then presents an equaliser to David Kitson.

Frenchman Armand One knocks Albion out with a golden goal four minutes into extra-time via a wicked deflection off Melton.

WEDNESDAY: Melton is philosophical about his eventful evening at the Abbey Stadium.

"If I hadn't played it would have been 0-0," he says. "It was nice to get on the scoresheet, but I gave the ball away for the equaliser and I hold my hands up to that."

The reserves' home game against Cambridge at Worthing is washed out.

THURSDAY: Taylor lines up David Webb's 18-year-old son Daniel as his first signing on loan from his old club Southend for the rest of the season.

The clubs agree a £25,000 fee to be paid at the end of his loan stint, but the deal is held up by sell-on negotiations.

Albion's unsettled centre half Andy Crosby is on his way to Oxford for talks with manager Ian Atkins.

FRIDAY: As Albion's players look forward to a televised cup tie against Rushden, the youth team celebrate a plum home draw against Leicester City in the FA Youth Cup.
