Albion boss Chris Hughton has warned his players about losing concentration after scoring.
The Seagulls have conceded an incredible 14 goals this season within ten minutes of scoring themselves.
It has happened six times since Hughton took charge, the latest at Reading on Tuesday.
Two-goal Jamie Mackie’s winner came three minutes after Chris O’Grady’s penalty equaliser for Albion.
Hughton revealed to The Argus: “It is one I have spoken to the players about, making sure our concentration levels are specifically good in that period after we’ve scored.
“The reason why is because that is probably the most emotional time, particularly in a game like on Tuesday where we get back into it irrespective of whether we deserved to and at that moment you can’t start thinking about getting the winner.

“Sometimes maybe there is part of the psychological side of the game, starting to think about ‘we’ve got a chance here’ and getting the winner as opposed to just making sure that you’re solid enough and don’t concede in that period of time.”The previous five quick replies conceded by Albion under Hughton were at the Amex, a pattern they will be hoping to halt against Wolves today.
