And the hope will be some pressure has been lifted on the head coach’s shoulders after a win at Brentford.
The Seagulls host Nottingham Forest on Sunday after interrupting a poor recent run with success in West London.
That game was seen as a tactical success for their head coach, whose team also performed well at Aston Villa recently.
But there could still be a little tension in the air given scenes against Crystal Palace last time Albion played at home.
The next step will be to improve a home record which was highly impressive but now shows one win in seven games since Bart Verbruggen’s late penalty save saw them edge out Brentford three months ago.
Mark McGhee, the vastly experienced and much-travelled former manager who took Albion to the Championship and kept them there for a year in their Withdean days, knows the spotlight Hurzeler is under.
But he likes what he sees and hears from the current head coach.
McGhee told The Argus: “They have got an absolutely brilliant manager.
“I've spoken to him lots of times. I've listened to him talk about football. He's a humble guy.
“I know he speaks to other people and takes proper people's advice when he needs it.
“He's a modest guy, but he's a football genius.
“And if they back him, we back him and get him through this period, in a couple of years, you will be thinking, How are we going to keep this guy?
“He's going to be getting hunted by Man United and all the big clubs.”
Asked what impresses him about Hurzeler, McGhee said: “I think it’s his attention to detail and it's his clarity.
“No matter how it looks, it's his clarity about the game, about what he's trying to achieve on the day, why he wants to achieve it in terms of what he has seen in the opposition and what he has deduced about them.
“Nothing goes unthought, if you like. There's nothing random about it.
“He thinks everything through and I think, in the modern game, that gives him the best chance to be successful.”
McGhee was speaking ahead of the game at Brentford, in which Hurzeler’s carefully plotted Plan Bee halted the hosts and helped create several first-half openings.
He said at that time: “They need three wins from 12 games. If they win one, they only need two out of 11 and the pressure is off a little bit.
“There will be a bit more freedom about it.”
Whether that freedom helps them impress the locals on Sunday remains to be seen.
Two wins from 11 is to secure safety but club and fans will want a bit more than that.
Forest will not be an easy game. They also won 2-0 at Brentford recently and were unfortunate to then go unrewarded against Liverpool.
It will not take much for the pressure from fans to build again, although the key decision-makers at the club are right behind Hurzeler and will feel the reasons for that have been underlined of late.
Speaking ahead of the Brentford trip, McGhee said: “This is when he needs us. This is when he needs the squad stepping up.
“This is when he needs the people at the football club rallying and this where he needs supporters geeing behind him.
“As a guy, he is calm most of the time and he will deal with it.
“He has just got to be careful that people don’t let him internalise it, if you like, and take it all on board himself.
“They have got to help him, they got to let him talk about it.”
