Sami Hyypia has vowed Albion would never park the bus to keep the Wolves at bay.

Hyypia is desperate for a result at Molineux today to ease the Seagulls’ relegation fears, get the fans off his back and halt the away day carnage.

But not desperate enough to sacrifice his principles.

Albion have let in three goals in each of the last three away games at Derby, Norwich and Bournemouth.

The Finn insists he will not shut up shop in search of a first away shut-out since a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest at the end of September.

Hyypia told The Argus: “We go into every game to keep a clean sheet. For me that is very important.

“Unfortunately we are leaking goals in every game.

“But that doesn’t mean the idea is you park the bus around the box, only defend and kick the ball away and hope the front men are winning the ball in between three players and then score.

“That’s not football, that’s something else. I wouldn’t want to change things that far that we would do that. It’s against my ideas of how to play.

“I would make different decisions if that's the only way to get out of this mess.”
