Midfielder dropped for disciplinary reasons

Brighton manager Dean Wilkins has revealed that he dropped Dean Cox from his squad on Saturday for disciplinary reasons. The midfielder was axed from the Brighton squad which secured a comfortable 3-0 win against Swindon at the weekend, despite being a regular this season. And Wilkins has now admitted that Cox was omitted as a disciplinary measure, but the Seagulls boss has refused to explain the reasons for his decision. "Dean was left out for disciplinary reasons and that is as far as I will go on that," said Wilkins. "I am not going to elaborate on that, but it was a decision I felt needed making."
