Brighton & Hove Albion manager Sami Hyypia admitted he was pleased with his side’s response in the second half of Saturday’s clash with Nottingham Forest.
*
Albion battled out a 0-0 draw at the City Ground and Hyypia told seagulls.co.uk: “It was a good reaction from the players in the second half we did everything a little quicker and we started to have a few chances.
*
“The second half was much better. We didn’t have any urgency in defending or attacking in the first half and we didn’t play quick enough.
*
“We made it more difficult for ourselves to play football and we can’t afford to do that.
*
“In the second half everyone worked hard and we were urgent on the ball going forward.
*
“We had enough chances in the second half to score that one goal but unfortunately it didn’t go in. Today we couldn’t create enough chances and I want to see us creating more."

The Finn went onto admit he was happy with a point from the game considering the impressive start the home side has made to the Championship season.“I was very pleased with a point, if you come here as an away team it is always a tough game and they have done well so far this season.
“Maybe before the game I would have taken a point but we need to analyse our game.
Hyppia also explained how a slight calf strain meant Sam Baldock was left out the squad.

“He felt his calf in training yesterday but I don’t think it’s a big thing. It would have been a risk to play him today so it’s better to rest him for one or two games than to lose him for a month.”
