What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"We showed what could be achieved with sheer guts and determination.

โ€œWe have now lost only one of our last seven games and the spirit in the side is obvious.

โ€œBut it is vital that we maintain the same attitude for the rest of the season.

"Tony was terribly unlucky, but I shall have to leave my verdict at that.

"I would be crucified if I said what I really thought [about referee David Scott].โ€

Graham Turner.


โ€œNine points should do it it could even be less.

"But we must definitely aim to win our last three home games.

"This was our best away performance since I rejoined the club.

โ€œAnd we did it with ten men at one of the most difficult places in the First Division.

"We have given ourselves a great chance of climbing out of trouble and in my own mind I have no doubt that we can do it."

Steve Hunt.
