What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œIt was a great relief to put the result together on Saturday but I must be honest and say that it has come two weeks too late.

โ€œIf it had been the Manchester City or Watford game perhaps things would have been different.

โ€œI think it will prove too little too late.

โ€œWe will give everything we have over these last three games.

โ€œItโ€™s a tough task but we will be in there battling.

"We were all relieved about Saturday.

โ€œWe didn't want to be jeered off the pitch and it would have been on the cards with anything less than that sort of victory.โ€

Steve Hunt.
