Brighton No2 Crofts Pleased with Hinshelwood after Forest Draw: Ansser Sadiq

The Albion had to make changes to their midfield lineup in the match that resulted in a tie.

Hinshelwood moved into midfield, having been played at left-back previously.

Post-game, Albion first team coach Andrew Crofts said: “Yasin Ayari reported yesterday morning with a higher temperature and felt very poorly.

“It was disappointing for Yaz because he’s obviously in a good moment, but he wasn’t feeling great at all.

“He definitely wouldn’t have been available for the game.

“And then the gaffer had to make a decision in terms of what he does next.

“I thought Jack was a real positive in midfield today.

“He’s such a top player to be able to play in lots of different positions as well as he does for someone so young.

“I’ve seen him play left-back, right-back and center midfield and he plays so well in all those positions.”
