Skipper Gordon Greer admitted Albion wasted a golden opportunity to take a big step towards Championship survival last night.

The Seagulls are now eight points above third bottom Wigan after they were held to a goalless draw at struggling Millwall.

But Greer felt they should have recorded their first win away from home since January with the Lions ripe for the taking in the second half.

Greer said: “It’s another point but we’re a wee bit disappointed we didn’t get all three. We felt the game was there for us to go and win it in the second half.

“We’ll take a clean sheet away from home but we had a couple of chances where we should have done better.

“Millwall are scrapping for their lives so it was always going to be a tough game but we needed to show a bit more quality in the final third.

“It was a missed opportunity but it was also important to keep the distance between us and Millwall so we’ll take the point and move on to the next game.”
