Match Preview

Seagulls close in on promotion Brighton will be without skipper Gordon Greer as they attempt to secure promotion against Dagenham. Greer was sent off during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday and starts a four-match suspension as it was his second red card of the season. Tommy Elphick will step in at centre-half with full-back Inigo Calderon poised to take the captain's armband. Midfielder Jamie Smith could be added to the squad having recovered from a foot injury and striker Chris Holroyd is available after returning from his loan spell at Bury. Full-back Jim McNulty is the only injury absentee as he continues his recovery from an ankle operation. The Seagulls know they will be promoted to the Championship with a victory over the Daggers. Dagenham & Redbridge midfielder Darren Currie is likely to make way for the daunting trip. Manager John Still has favoured a 4-5-1 shape away from home in recent weeks so Currie is likely to drop out with striker Jon Nurse moving out into his place on the left. That should see Damian Scannell or Oliver Lee come into midfield from the start. Midfielder Solomon Taiwo is available again following his ankle injury picked up at Swindon a month ago but is likely to be on the bench. Striker John Akinde scored his first goal for the club in the 3-1 win over Notts County on Saturday and will keep his place as the Daggers look to keep clear of the drop zone.

Match Report

Seagulls seal promotion Brighton clinched promotion to the Championship next season after twice coming from behind to defeat a spirited Dagenham and Redbridge 4-3. The Daggers, who took the lead after just 24 seconds through John Akinde, scored twice at the start of the second half before the Seagulls sparked fans' celebration by storming back to record their 12th successive home win. Brighton were stunned when Akinde gave Dagenham a shock lead with a deflected shot passed helpless keeper Casper Ankergren. Seagulls winger Craig Noone crashed a 25-yard drive against the bar before Brighton struck twice in the space of a minute. A short corner from Elliott Bennett was fired towards goal by Adam El-Abd and stand-captain Inigo Calderon produced the final touch on the goalline. And Gus Poyet's side went ahead 60 seconds later through leading marksman Glenn Murray, who pounced for his 21st goal of the season after Marcos Painter crossed deep to the far post. Dagenham made it 2-2 three minutes after the interval when Jon Nurse struck with a deflected shot, and Danny Green put the Daggers ahead for the second time three minutes later from the penalty spot after El-Abd brought down Akinde. But midfielder Liam Bridcutt pulled Brighton back level after 57 minutes with an unstoppable 25-yard drive into the top corner, and substitute Ashley Barnes hit the winner by heading in a Bennett corner from the middle of the six-yard box.
