Adam Hinshelwood wants the silent treatment from his dad tomorrow after Albion's do-or-die relegation battle at Millwall.

That will tell him his comeback from a serious knee injury has continued on an upward curve.

Hinshelwood's dad Paul played for Millwall, as well as Crystal Palace, and he will be at The new Den to watch his son try to help the relegation-haunted Seagulls to an essential three points.

"He's told me the fans at the old Den were so close to the pitch and used to give the players a few choice words at times but he enjoyed his time there," Hinshelwood said.

"It's quite an intimidating place to go but it could be a good game to watch. We are both scrapping to get the points.

"When I was younger I never used to listen to dad really, so he has given up on it now.

"It's mainly when I've not played very well that he tells me the things I need to work on. If he doesn't speak to me after the game then I'll know I've not done too badly."

The versatile Hinshelwood, playing at rightback, gave his best performance since returning from a ten-month absence with cruciate knee ligament damage in last Saturday's 1-1 home draw against Luton.

He provided the cross for Gifton Noel-Williams to head a debut goal and made a couple of important saving tackles inside his own area.

Hinshelwood, sent-off on his return from injury at Norwich in February, is warming to his task.

"I felt comfortable and did okay in the two games I played at centre half but last week is up there," he said.

"I feel a lot better than the first couple of games, when I was a bit off the pace. With the training as well I'm gradually getting there."

Albion's French left winger Alex Frutos missed training again yesterday with a rib injury.

Meanwhile, manager Mark McGhee has had a re-think and decided against recalling striker Mark McCammon from his extended loan spell with Bristol City.
