Brighton midfielder Tommy Fraser told local paper The Argus that he had spoken to team-mate, and veteran of 1997, Kerry Mayo about 'that' match: "I was talking about it the other day with Kez. It's a similar sort of thing and they might be looking to get one over on us for last time. It feels like the last game of the season already. It feels like literally if you don't win this one it's over.
"It's obviously not over because we could still then save ourselves in the next six games but for confidence purposes we have got to win this game. They are below us and we are capable at times of beating anyone in this league, especially teams in and around us. It will be a bit of a nitty-gritty game but, as long as we come away with the points, I don’t think any Brighton fan will care."
Meanwhile defender Tommy Elphick has told the paper that the match will be 'an absolute war': "It's a massive game, probably the biggest I've had in my career to date. The week ahead, with Hereford, Swindon and Colchester on Monday, is huge and we have got to look to put nine points on the board.
"On paper Hereford are the lowest side, so people might say it is the easiest game we have got left but it is not going to be that way. It's going to be an absolute war."
Seagulls boss Russell Slade, who won at Edgar Street with Yeovil at the start of the season, will run late fitness tests on defender Gary Borrowdale and forward Gary Hart but they will be without defender Matt Heath through injury. Strikers Glenn Murray and Nicky Forster are definitely ruled out.
