In fact, speaking to 'Sky Sports', Hughton said he wants all of his players to be annoyed at being subbed off during a match.
"I hope there isn't anybody happy to come off, but I have to make decisions that will hopefully get us back in the game, and I think everybody understands that.
"But I don't mind someone showing a bit of frustration. It's not like Anthony had a bad game, he didn't, it was just to change things a little bit in our favour."
The 'Seagulls' boss was happy overall with his side's point after going 2-0 down to the 'Cottagers'.
"[I'm] delighted, I think it's nothing less than we deserve. When you go 2-0 down at home against a good side at keeping possession, you've got to be grateful for what we've got.
"I've got to give credit to our lads, we dropped our levels after we missed the penalty and that was the change in the momentum. But I thought after they scored their second the reaction was excellent, and we could have even won it at the end."
