Albion v Leeds - from The Amex (From The Argus)

9:41pm

Albion had one last chance to grab the win they probably deserved during the five minutes of added time. Mackail-Smith cut the ball back and sub Crofts fired in a shot which point-saver Kenny pawed away brilliantly diving to his left.

Dicker, Crofts and Dobbie were all introduced for the final push and the latter went close with a 25-yarder which flew just over the top corner.

Albion had a glorious chance to go back ahead in the 74th minute when Mackail-Smith was shoved over, seemingly by Byram, as he ran to get on the end of a deep cross by Bruno. Mackail-Smith again took the spot kick but his well-struck effort was brilliantly saved - and held - by Kenny diving low to his right.

9:15pm

Becchio almost put Leeds ahead moments later but was just unable to get his head on a cross which then curled narrowly wide of the far post.

9:06pm

Albion remained on top - and their fans responded with terrific noise booming around The Amex.

9:01pm

Bruno then went close to his first goal for the Seagulls with a ferocious free-kick just over from the edge of the box.

Albion, though, created one last attack before the interval and almost regained the lead. Bruno's cross from the right was headed down by Barnes for Mackail-Smith to fire in a shot which went just wide via a slight deflection.

8:28pm

It was Leeds' first on-target effort of the game but it clearly lifted them and the hosts struggled to deal with Diouf's cross a few minutes later.

8:14pm

Albion deserved a second goal - and it should have come on 26 minutes. This time Buckley started the move on the left by cutting infield near halfway and sliding a pass carefully into the path of Bruno, who was charging down the right. The right-back's cross to the far post was inch perfect but Orlandi miscued his close range volley into the ground and saw it bounce up and just over the bar.

8:10pm

Buckley was causing all sorts of problems. He outpaced the Leeds defence and passed inside to Mackail-Smith, whose shot took a deflection and hit the outside of the post.

Brown was the first Leeds man in the book in the tenth minute for bringing down Orlandi on the edge of the box. The Spaniard took the centrally placed free-kick himself but his effort deflected harmlesly wide off the wall.

7:54pm

It was a dynamic start to the game by the hosts. Barnes saw his drive across goal blocked behind for a corner, then the same player whisked a shot about a foot wide after Bridge had gone on a long run and crossed low. 

7:51pm

Buckley was in the thick of the action from the second minute. He was booked for a foul on Brown, from which Austin's 25-yard free-kick flew well over. Then the winger got on the end of a slick Albion move and beat three men before seeing his chipped cross evade Mackail-Smith and drift wide of the far post.

7:45pm

Albion to attack the North Stand in the first half.

7:44pm

Most unusually the teams are changing ends.

7:44pm

Leeds in their change kit of black with luminous lime green trim. They have about 2,000 fans here tonight filling a shade over half of the South Stand plus the corner section.

7:37pm

I also noted plenty of debate on Twitter among Leeds fans over the fact Becchio is only on the bench.

7:36pm

Some surprise that Crofts is the midfielder to miss out after getting forward a bit more at Blackpool last week.

It's a fresh night at The Amex. And time for Albion to get on a fresh winning run on the pitch after six games without victory. I'll be running you through the action this evening. There is one change to the XI as Orlandi replaces Crofts in midfield
