New boy Mustapha Carayol admits Albion did not test the goalkeeper enough in their 1-0 defeat at Rotherham.
The Seagulls completed another grim Easter by losing at the New York Stadium yesterday.
They never really looked like rescuing a point, despite spending much of the second half on the attack.
Carayol, making his debut after signing on loan from Middlesbrough, said: “We knew they would come out and press us.
“You could say they scored the goal against the run of play but we knew what to expect.
“As the gaffer said, we could have managed the first 25 minutes better than we did rather than trying to play in really tight areas.
“We really pushed in the second half but we didn’t make the keeper work enough.”
Carayol was among the Albion players to have a half-chance but he hit the side-netting.
He said: “It was one of those you just hit blind.
“It came out of the sky and I just tried to hit it.”
