🎧 'No sulkers' at Brighton
On the latest episode of Albion Unlimited, former Brighton players Guy Butters and Warren Aspinall discuss the team spirit at the club and impact of the have had more goal involvements via substitutes than any other team in the Premier League this season (21).Former defender Butters said: "When you are on the bench you're literally chomping to get on. You want to get on there and prove what you can do. Some players come on and sulk - I don't see that at Brighton - I see them all wanting to go on there and get in the box."You're always going to have certain personalities that clash in every single squad but this squad that we've got now, you haven't got many sulkers in there, it doesn't seem to have too many of those sort of players in there. That could go down as well to the scouting group, the people that do their homework on what a player is like not only on the pitch but away from it as well."Aspinall added: "We used to have a great team spirit, even if you weren't in the team. What I see now in this Brighton side is we've got no sulkers. We've got nobody thinking 'I'm on the bench, I'm sulking because I'm not playing'. Or someone going on there and not passing, waving their hand up in the air when they don't get the ball. I've not seen that for the last few months."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
