​Brighton captain Bruno: Locadia can still deliver

Brighton skipper Bruno is hoping to see more from striker Jurgen Locadia.

Everyone was disappointed when he missed a big chance against Burnley in their last game.

But Locadia is highly rated at the club and Bruno has backed him to come through a tough spell.

The 25-year-old has not scored for Brighton this season.

Bruno said to The Argus: "That is what we expect from players when they come from the bench, to have that impact.

"He [Locadia] held the ball, he was setting the ball to the midfielders for switch of play.

"And after that, he was getting inside the box.

"With that system we played, the 4-3-3, it allowed him to play wide.

"I think it is a good position for him as well."
