Jake Robinson has been a bright young prospect waiting to fully blossom for longer than he probably cares to remember.

But the Denton Destroyer was arguably the player who shone brightest as Albion got through 22 men and cast their eyes over trialists, youngsters and more familiar faces in this ultimately comfortable win over their Ryman League hosts.

Robinson scored twice and set up Alex Revell's first goal for the club as the Seagulls, having made 11 half-time changes, ran away with it after the break.

Of course, the contributions of Robinson, Revell and their supplier Martin Brittain on the right need to be kept in perspective.

The home defence had already played 45 minutes and underwent various alterations as the second half wore on.

As their manager Danny Bloor justifiably pointed out, Worthing are at a very early stage of pre-season and did well in the first half.

But any indication that Albion have options up front will be more than welcome given the problems they had last season scoring goals and, at times, even creating chances.

As will the promise shown by Brittain, whose career appears to be heading into a cul-de-sac at Newcastle.

After all, Albion have a vacancy for a creator on the right after losing Seb Carole to Leeds.

Mark McGhee was happy to pick out that trio when asked what pleased him on Saturday.

The Seagulls boss said: "I thought Jake was terrific. I thought the two of them, Alex Revell and Jake, played off each other so that was very encouraging.

"Alex has got his first goal and that is good. He looked sharp and worked very, very hard.

"If you go too long (without scoring) it can start playing on your mind and everybody starts talking about it, asking when is he going to score, even in pre-season.

"Martin Brittain got some dangerous balls to the near post. He's a good crosser of the ball and I think he is well worth looking at a little bit closer.

"I like a lot of what I've seen."

For the Albion majority on the terraces, it was very much a case of putting names to faces.

They were introduced to Le Havre striker Stephane Biakolo afer just six minutes when some strong forward play was ended by Andy Lutwyche's foul. Dean Hammond confidently converted the resulting penalty.

Two trialists got their chance in the second-half team. Zoumana Bagayoko was not extended defensively at leftback but got forward athletically while Jacques Williams quietly kept things ticking over with Richard Carpenter in midfield.

Worthing should have been singing the praises of their new signing Rudi Hall within two minutes of Hammond's opener but he shot wide from the penalty spot after Michel Kuipers brought down Byron Harrison. The Rebels impressed in the first half. Sam Francis had the ball in the net, but only after handball in the build-up, and then produced a fabulous cross which Mark Knee headed against the bar.

Danny Davis shot inches wide from 20 yards after picking off a poor pass by Guy Butters.

Albion looked far more threatening after the break and Brittain's ability to keep possession under pressure was at the foundation of their second goal.

He eventually laid the ball off for Carpenter, whose chip down the right enabled Robinson to cross low for Revell to joyfully fire home at the far post after an hour.

Robinson added a cheeky effort four minutes later, nipping in front of goalkeeper Chris May to touch home a low cross by Brittain.

The fourth, two minutes from time, was a cool one-on-one finish by Robinson after racing on to a long ball.

Albion, also looking for a centre back to replace Paul McShane, had a look at former Crawley man Leonard Mendy in that role in the first half and Joel Lynch in the second.

Not that Worthing really threatened after the break, apart from a Stafford Browne free-kick which Wayne Henderson tipped over.

It was a decent pay day for Worthing, though. They, like the Seagulls, will have deemed this a very worthwhile exercise.
