Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park (19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Hurzeler says Jan Paul van Hecke is back available after a hamstring injury while Mats Weiffer is getting close to a return.
The boss was asked about reports that captain Lewis Dunk turned down a potential move to Nottingham Forest: “Lewis and me have a good relationship. I need him here, I need him as a leader. I really appreciate that he stays here and that he keeps fighting. That was his words and I really appreciate his performances after these kinds of rumours.”
Why was a move entertained by the club?: "There are always two perspectives; the player's and the club's. There are always things going on in a transfer window. The most important is Lewis' perspective, we had a good chat, looked in each other's eyes, and spoke about it, and then he made his decision and I appreciate that. What makes me much more impressed is how he played afterwards. That's not normal, that's outstanding."
On boos from the crowd after Sunday's home defeat against rivals Crystal Palace: “It’s part of the game. There are a lot of emotions. The fans come to the stadium to see us win and perform and we didn’t do that. We, and especially personally me, deserve the boos and I take responsibility for that.”
Are the Seagulls in a relegation battle?: "We have to see the reality of where we are in the table. It is important to stay humble, to know where we are, and to know we have to collect points. The table never lies but we know what we are capable of doing and showing good performances. We just have to get the rewards. We have to show a reaction in the next game and see the reality of where we are at the moment."
What has been the reaction to Sunday's defeat in training?: "I saw a team with a lot of energy and that gives me a lot of confidence speaking in front of the press because I see a team that really sticks together with great players, great personalities and great characters. I am confident we have a big chance tomorrow."
On facing Villa at this moment: "We definitely want to show a reaction, the next opportunity is against Villa. We are positive and we will go there to try and win this game."
