Jurgen Locadia would like to give Albion’s new attacking set-up another go after making his first Premier League start.

The former PSV forward played wide on the right in the absence of banned Anthony Knockaert.

But he did not stay there too much of the time as boss Chris Hughton gave him licence to roam.

Knockaert was present at the Amex to support his current colleagues and see familiar faces from his old club.

He still has one more game of his suspension to run and it is a big one, at home to the Huddersfield side against whom he scored the winner at the Amex last season.

So what does Hughton do for a game in which a win would send the Seagulls a long way towards safety?

He used Locadia out to the left cutting in when he started at Manchester United before the international break.

That is his best position, as Hughton pointed out post-match at Old Trafford.

But Jose Izquierdo was left on the bench for that game.

With Izquierdo back in the side on Saturday but not keen to play on the right, Albion could have started Solly March on the right wing.

But they went for Locadia and gave him lots of licence to drift inside and make room for Pascal Gross or Ezequiel Schelotto to exploit outside him.

Locadia was in the inside-left channel when he latched on to a long ball from Lewis Dunk early on and fired off target.

And he was just left of centre when his slide-rule pass almost sent Izquierdo in.

He told The Argus: “I have mainly played on the left.

“It’s’ quite different for me plus I like to come inside and shoot from distance and create chances.”

Asked about offering scope for Gross to loop outside him, he said: “It’s good because we look at each other. He knows how I move.

“I think the movement was good but we had to score – we had enough chances.”

The big one, of course, was the penalty.

Locadia backed Glenn Murray to step up and convert next time, despite being denied by Kasper Schmeichel.

He said: “Every striker misses sometimes and his job is to continue.

“If we get another penalty, just ask for the ball.

“He is an experienced man and he knows how the game is.

“He will be okay. He has helped me settle here in football and outside football.”

Locadia echoed the general opinion that Albion were unfortunate to lose.

Asked about the post-match mood in the changing room, he said: “Disappointment – angry and mostly disappointed.

“I think we were the better team.

“We created some good chances and we showed the fans we want to play football.

“Leicester were looking to play on the counter attack and unfortunately they played smarter today.”

March did his claims no harm after going on for Locadia at 0-0 and producing some lively moments.
