Virgo: "Hereford Are Beatable"

Brighton defender Adam Virgo has expressed his confidence for the Seagulls' survival hopes to their official site:

"Tuesday is a massive game and one that could determine what happens next season. We will go there in good heart from Saturday's match because apart from putting the ball in the back of the net there was not a lot of difference between us. We are not going to beat about the bush now. Six points from the next two games are an absolute must. There is no point saying that if we get a draw here and a draw there, as soon as we get two wins together then the league table is going to start to look a bit different.

"We haven't managed to string together a series of wins this season so why not start now. Hereford are beatable and we have already beaten Swindon away this season so we must have a chance of beating them at home provided we all stick together. Every one of our remaining seven games is potentially winnable. We battered Tranmere last week and I don't think that the league table is relevant any more in terms of the position of your opponents.

"Form goes out of the window when teams are fighting for their lives and we won't take too much notice of the league table but instead will take it minute by minute and game by game. I know we can beat Hereford and I know we can beat Swindon."

The bookies rate the Bulls as favourites for the match, 7/5 for the Bulls compared to 2/1 available for Brighton, with both sides long odds on to be relegated.
