Albion are still one point and once place outside the Championship play-offs after Ipswich missed a chance to move above them today.
Mick McCarthy's side were held to a 0-0 draw by Blackpool at Portman Road to remain eighth, a point adrift of the Seagulls having played one more game.
Albion's on-loan development striker Shamir Goodwin scored a superb solo effort, the first senior goal of his career, but it was not enough to save Torquay from a 3-1 defeat at Chesterfield in League Two.
The Seagulls' fellow play-off contenders Wigan, visitors to the Amex next Saturday, are mounting a strong defence of the FA Cup.
They won 2-1 at Premier League strugglers Cardiff to book their place in the quarter-finals.
