Albion boss Chris Hughton expects Rotherham to be docked three points for fielding an ineligible player against his team.
The Seagulls faced on-loan Farrend Rawson in their 1-0 defeat at Rotherham on Easter Monday when the 18-year-old Derby defender’s youth loan had expired and re-signing him had not been sanctioned by the Football League.
In previous cases clubs have been deducted three points for fielding an ineligible player in a game they have won.
Hughton told The Argus: “If that charge is correct and they are found guilty what should happen is what’s happened in the past and what the rules are.
Hughton said: “I think that’s probably because they lost the game.”
Rotherham were held 1-1 at Fulham last night, a result which keeps both teams below Albion.
