​Brighton striker Murray realistic about Seagulls Premier League campaign

Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Glenn Murray has revealed that his side are managing their expectations ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.

Following a number of near misses over the years, Brighton managed to storm their way into the Premier League with fantastic performances last season and many believe that the Seagulls will be able to acquit themselves well in the top flight as well.

But Murray is not willing to get carried away due to last season though and has acknowledged that his side needs to put their feet firmly on the ground in order to be able to survive in the punishing nature of the English Premier League.

Murray said: "When you win things and win games regularly you are going to enjoy it. This year is going to be a lot different.

"It's going to be different for the players and the fans. We've got to understand we're not going to win as many games as we have done in the previous two seasons.

"I think the fans have been spoilt with the way the club has performed over the last two seasons and the amount of games we've won.

"The stats show, I think, that Brighton have won the most games in all the professional leagues in England over the last two years.

"We need to get our head around the fact that it's not going to be all wins and goals. We are going to have some tough times and that's when we have really got to show our togetherness."
