Former Brighton defender Adam Virgo says the club should look to recruit a set-piece specialist in the summer transfer on BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast, Virgo said: "[Set-pieces] are a massive part of the game, and there was a periods when Lewis Dunk was getting a decent return of goals from set plays."It's all about that delivery, If you're not beating the near post, or you're over-hitting it, then you're not going to score as many goals. The one player who has always been there with a wand of a foot is Pascal Gross. That is now missing."I couldn't really tell you who our free-kick taker is. With all the stats that Brighton tend to work with, maybe they should go and find someone in that area that works for set plays. The height is there in Danny [Welbeck] and both centre-halves."Listen to the full episode here

When this team clicks, you see really good football."Listen to the full discussion on BBC Sounds
