Brighton boss Hughton confident players ready for Cardiff

Brighton boss Chris Hughton is confident of his players' attitude facing Cardiff City tonight.

Hughton hauled his Brighton players in for a clear-the-air team meeting on Sunday after the club suffer their heaviest ever Premier League defeat against Bournemouth.

Hughton said: "The players want to prove a point on Tuesday.

"They will want to show an attitude that says they were that disappointed with Saturday.

"We had a meeting, went through the game and the goals that we conceded.

"It was probably our worst performance of the season.

"There isn't one player in that changing room that wouldn't have gone through a bad defeat, a bad performance, and what it's always about is how you respond to that.

"I expect a reaction from our players."
