Hurzeler wants the right body language from his team and togetherness at the Amex

The Seagulls return home to face Nottingham Forest, three weeks on from an ugly afternoon against Crystal Palace.

Hurzeler has always insisted he would prefer to play at home than away.

But travelling fans have been supportive in the subsequent three fixtures and celebrated a win at Brentford.

The next step is to regain good form at home, where Albion took 14 points from their first six games – and led in all six - but have only managed seven points from their last seven.

Fabian Hürzeler hopes for a happier Sunday afternoon at the Amex than last time.

A good start to the game will help.

Their home run-in looks tough with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United still to visit.

Head coach Hurzeler said: “I always want to speak to the fans and say to them they should give the great support they did so far during the season to the players because in the end they give everything, they are fully committed to this club, they show every day at the training ground and every weekend for this badge the most effort they can give.

“It’s very important the fans keep recognising it and keep pushing the team. In the end they can judge me, they can be very critical with me and I know it’s part of the job.

“We have to create an energy on the pitch, it’s our responsibility that we create something that we transform this energy to them, that they have no other choice than pushing us, cheering us and giving us loud support.

“If we have good body language and a positivity on the pitch, I am 100 per cent convinced it will transform to the stands and then we will have a great atmosphere and then I’m also convinced we have a big chance to win this game.

“We have to feel like a unit because if we really want to challenge consistently the top teams, the teams in the Premier League where we want to get, then we have to have this togetherness.”
