What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"We had a little bit of luck.

"We looked a bit nervy and a bit tired but the main thing was we the three points.

"I would certainly feel that another three points should be sufficient and we have to aim to get them on Saturday.

โ€œWe are still very much aware of the table and it shows quite clearly that we still have to be looking for more points.

"On paper we have some tough final matches to play and they will be a further test to see if we have made the good progress which we believe we have made."

Graham Turner.
