Seagulls boss still optimistic
The Iron's leading scorer Gary Hooper drilled a right-foot shot into the bottom corner for his 27th goal of the season before half-time in the League One clash at Glanford Park.[LNB]Brighton were reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when centre-back Matt Heath was sent-off for bringing down Hooper in the box and midfielder Grant McCann despatched the resulting spot kick.[LNB]A second successive away defeat left the Seagulls deep in relegation trouble while Scunthorpe continue to challenge for a quick return to the Championship.[LNB]"We are still capable of winning four or five games and that might be just enough to keep us up," Slade said.[LNB]"At least there were some positives to take out of the game that weren't there when we got beat 3-0 at Walsall in midweek.[LNB]"We knew Scunthorpe would come out strongly at us and I thought we had just about weathered the storm. Their first goal came at a bad time for us just before the interval.[LNB]"We put an extra man forward in the second half and had a spell where we got on top but to be honest we did not create any glaring chances."[LNB][LNB]
