Brighton manager Hughton: Home form vital to survival

Brighton boss Chris Hughton has stressed the importance of establishing a positive record at home.

The Seagulls have picked up one point from their opening three matches - a 0-0 draw with Watford - but Hughton believes the performances his side have put in does not reflect the results.

"We should have got three points at Watford but the level of performance was better, so certainly some positives from them three games and of course it's up to us to take the positives forward now," he said.

"We've been quite close in the games, even in the Leicester game where I thought we had really good possession, so I think that's the reason why the spirit is good.

"Irrespective of how our season goes, we are going to lose more games this season than what we have done last season or the season before."
