Albion picked up another away point today – but were left regretting the two that got away.

The Seagulls were the better side in their 0-0 draw at Derby County.

They had a golden chance to break the deadlock on 72 minutes when sub Dean Hammond headed wide from close range following up a fine save by home keeper Adam Legzdins.

Liam Bridcutt had earlier seen his shot deflect on to the crossbar.

David, on his first start for the Seagulls, curled a good opening just off target after Albion's best move of the day, between sub Stephen Dobbie and the impressive Bruno.

Derby were stung into action by Hammond's miss and Tomasz Kuszczak dived to his right to make super saves from John Brayford and Craig Bryson.

But the Seagulls were generally the slicker side.

Will Buckley started the game at centre-forward in a 4-2-3-1 set-up but went off during the first half, seemingly as a result of his recent hamstring trouble.
