Gerry Murphys unbeaten run stretches to three with this rather uninspiring goalless draw. Town went the nearest in the first half, good efforts from Luke Beckett (saved at his feet), Danny Schofield (over the bar) and Gary Taylor-Fletcher (dipped over the bar), but we couldn't find a way through.
Brighton appeared a little brighter after the break, but Matty Glennon all in all had a very quiet afternoon between the sticks. Towns cause wasn't helped by some over zealous refereeing - the man in black hell-bent in cementing Towns reputation as the yellow-card kings, as half of the bookings we had appeared unwarranted. A second yellow for Frank Sinclair (the first harsh, the second deserved) saw the big man sent off, and Town had to play with ten men for the last quarter of the game.
Now, three weeks ago you would not have dreamed that this would happen - both Martin McIntosh and Mark Hudson, plus Adnan Ahmed for good measure, all ended up playing a part in this match. Well, with a new manager on the horizon they will want to get as much playing time in as possible in order to impress whoever it will be. Clearly JD and GM think more of them than Jacko did at the end of his reign.
A stalemate it stayed though, and Town will be further worried with injuries picked up by Andy Holdsworth and GTF.
