Gus Poyet admitted Albion lacked a killer instinct as they bowed out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tonight.
Poyet saw his side lose to Leyton Orient and said: "They scored two goals and we didn't. We had probably 20 attempts but it doesn't matter.
"You need to score and not concede.
"They didn't concede somehow, it doesn't matter how.
"I hope we all learn from it, no more than that."
Glenn Murray had the best chance for the Seagulls but saw his penalty pushed aside by impressive keeper Jamie Jones.
Poyet said: "There's no better chance to score than a penalty.
"You have got everything in front of you without the ball moving and anyone interfering.
"You have got to beat the goalkeeper only but he made a save. We'll learn from it."
