"I thought we were really poor. We didn't deserve anything from the game," he told BBC Match of the Day. "There have been other games where I have stood here and said 'we've been competitive and the result has not gone our way'. "It was a big shift from losing the game against Newcastle, which was very different from how we looked today. We lacked a little belief and that was worrying."
"What we need is what we had previous to today," Parker added. "While the results have not gone our way, we have been building on certain things and there has been a real commitment. We are going to lose matches but the way we lost today is not one which was nice and is not acceptable really. We need a reaction for sure."
Burnley lost 2-0 at Brighton, suffering their ninth defeat in 11 Premier League matches as Georginio Rutter and Yasin Ayari scored. The defeat left Burnley 19th with six points to safety and only two points from the last 33 available. Manager Scott Parker described the performance as poor, saying the team lacked belief and did not deserve anything from the game. Burnley managed just three shots on target, committed defensive errors, and missed captain Josh Cullen after his season-ending ACL injury, weakening midfield. Brighton ended a six-match winless run, and Burnley urgently need a reaction to avoid relegation.
