Albion players wore black armbands in the win against Fulham today after another member of the squad lost his dad.
Fringe midfielder Rohan Ince's father passed away this week.
It followed the recent death of Anthony Knockaert's dad and the players, without the knowledge of manager Chris Hughton, wanted to demonstrate their support for Ince.
Hughton told The Argus: "Testament to the players. That was something they did off their own backs. It has been a tough couple of weeks for the squad as regards bereavements.
"Rohan might be a quieter lad and not so much involved but the feelings for Rohan would be every bit as much as they have been for Anthony."
