"There was something in the air we needed to clear, not only for us, but for the supporters. We got on the pitch with players who had great character, and I think that was the main thing. I see a team that sticks together, a team that's working hard, a team that's gaining an understanding more and more of each other. It takes time. We are still not where we want to be, but it's a process, and we focus on that."
"It felt a bit like we were waiting for everybody else to do something, and they weren't waiting. [We] then gave away a really soft goal. It's just the basics, getting across and filling holes. We were dominant in the second half, and it was a great reaction from 1-0 down. That relentless attitude is going to be important. A lot of good signs in the performance,"
Brighton defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the City Ground with goals from Maxim De Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas, lifting Brighton to fifth place in the Premier League. Brighton returned to the venue of a 7-0 loss from the previous season and arrived determined to set the record straight. Fabian Hurzeler praised his players' self-confidence, personality and collective character, saying the team is developing understanding and working hard as a process. Nottingham Forest's five-match unbeaten run ended, and Sean Dyche blamed a lack of tactical discipline and a poor opening 20 minutes for the defeat.
