The Albion players have a month to prove they can be part of the club’s future under Gus Poyet.

That is the message from Poyet’s right-hand man, Mauricio Taricco, as the Seagulls tackle Charlton at Withdean tonight.

Poyet has already used 19 players in five matches in assessing the squad ahead of the January transfer window.

The injured Jim McNulty and Colin Hawkins, on-loan Nottingham Forest pair Arron Davies and Matt Thornhill, Jake Wright and David Livermore are the only senior pros yet to feature under the Uruguayan’s command.

Taricco said: “At the moment we are working with the boys that are here. There is no way we can do anything until January.

“There is still time to learn about the players. We have learnt a lot already in a few weeks.

“The gaffer will make the decisions in January. He made it very clear when he got here everybody is going to get a chance and everybody is getting a chance.

“They have another month now to prove to the manager that they are players he needs to get this club forward, so it’s up to them. Hopefully we are giving them the base to be relaxed and play.”
