Brighton news: Leandro Trossard urges Seagulls to be more clinical as goalless run continues

Brighton forward Leandro Trossard has urged his side to "score more" goals after enduring a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest - their third straight game without scoring.
Trossard struck the crossbar in the first half at the Amex Stadium, while Forest were indebted to a fine late save from Dean Henderson to deny Pascal Gross.
Albion have gone three games without scoring since Trossard's hat-trick in the thrilling 3-3 draw at Liverpool and accumulated just two points from four games under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
The Seagulls have registered a remarkable 54 attempts at goal during the mini drought.
Trossard suggested Brighton, who face a weekend trip to champions Manchester City before former boss Graham Potter returns to Sussex with new club Chelsea a week later, are lacking belief in the final third.
"At the moment, we're just a little bit unlucky and it's fine margins," the Belgium international told his club's website.
"We need maybe a little more confidence in front of goal. We have created good chances, it's not just shots from outside the box.
"Obviously there will be some changes when a new manager comes in and we need to adapt as well but overall, I think we've played good games with this manager as well.
"We had Liverpool and Tottenham (a 1-0 loss) the first two games, so you don't expect us to win there so everything we get is extra.
"And then the last two games (a 2-0 defeat at Brentford and the draw with Forest), it's not enough.
"We created so many chances, we need to score more."
