The absence of forward Glenn Murray in midweek forced Poyet to deploy Nicky Forster as a lone striker but the move paid dividends with the Seagulls running out 2-1 winners at The Valley.

Murray will return from illness against Exeter giving Poyet a selection headache over whether to play him alongside Forster.

"It's (4-5-1) an option," Poyet told The Argus. "I'm looking to change a few things from what we do normally at home so let's hope the players accept it.

"I would like the players to be happy with it. That's important."
