Albion have been given a disciplinary boost for the promotion run-in.

Paul Watson, Danny Cullip and Richard Carpenter will be available for the rest of the season, unless they collect a flurry of yellow cards. The influential trio all went into last Saturday's game against York on four bookings, one away from an automatic ban.

None of them were cautioned and the York match marked the cut-off point for suspensions for five yellow cards. They would now have to accumulate ten by April 7, which would invoke a two-match ban.

Relieved boss Micky Adams said: "It's vitally important to us. There are a lot of games coming up over the next nine weeks and injuries and suspensions can take their toll.

"Fortunately we don't have too many of either."

The player most at risk of a ban for bookings is Charlie Oatway, but he would have to be cautioned four times in the next nine matches.

The cut-offs do not apply to red cards. Suspensions for dismissals continue for the rest of the season, with the length of ban determined by the severity of the offence.

Watson suffered a slight thigh strain against York, but he will be fit for Saturday's promotion showdown with Leyton Orient.

Tommy Taylor's team are two places and seven points behind the Seagulls.

Adams is still hoping to add two loan signings to his squad.

"Once again I will be making calls and following up the work I did last week," he said.
