Albion manager Mark McGhee today hailed the role of young super-sub Jake Robinson in the Seagulls' first away point for six games.

McGhee admits the teenage striker exceeded his expectations after replacing Mark McCammon for the second half of Saturday's 1-1 draw at Burnley.

"We all have hope and I know everybody around the place has a lot of faith in Jake," McGhee said. "Maybe at times I have not showed enough faith in him. Certainly, based on his second-half performance, that has to be true.

"We say when people get their chance they have to take it and I thought he took it absolutely brilliantly. He was different class.

"He not only held the ball up but ran at the Burnley defence and got in behind them. He got to the byline on several occasions and could have got us another goal."

McGhee also saluted the contributions of Chris McPhee and goalscorer Dean Hammond, who equalised in the second half after Ade Akinbiyi headed Burnley into the lead.

"In the first half Chris McPhee and Mark McCammon struggled to hold the ball up, but in the second half Chris probably had his most complete performance as a centre forward since I came to the club, a vital performance in terms of us getting a result.

"We said to Dean before the game he needed to be more than just on the periphery, he had to come out of his shell and play a big part. He did to a degree in the first half, but in the second half he was superb."

Albion, still in the relegation zone, have Leon Knight and Gary Hart available after bans for Saturday's visit by West Ham.
