Albion are sweating on another potential injury setback after losing skipper Gordon Greer today.

But Chris Hughton has praised his side for keeping a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw at lively Brentford.

Greer went down with a hamstring problem during the second half of the Boxing Day clash at Griffin Park.

Hughton is awaiting reports on the extent of the damage but the centre-back would appear to be a doubt for the home game against Ipswich on Tuesday.

The Albion boss revealed: "He just felt his hamstring. We are hoping it's not too bad.

"It could be an accumulation of having to play a lot games, so maybe a little bit of fatigue.

"We will assess that over the next couple of days."

The Seagulls will be aiming for a first win in five games on Tuesday but they maintained their unbeaten away record today, despite a poor first half.

Hughton said: “It was good to get back to clean sheets, which we needed.

“I thought we were better in the second half and we caused a bit more of a threat breaking from deeper.

“But these are a good side. They have got very good options.

“In the end I think it’s a draw we have got to be happy with.”

Hughton revealed James Wilson, who he replaced with Andrew Crofts at half-time, was not feeling well.

But he was pleased how his subsequent tactical switch worked.

He said: “It gave us an opportunity to go a little bit of a different way.

“I thought we had a little bit better ball retention in that second half.”
