Brighton midfielder Gilmour: Everyone's watching and enjoying our play

Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour is delighted with his playing chances this season.

The Scotland international has become regular for manager Roberto de Zerbi this term.

He told the club's website: "Yeah, it's really good and really enjoyable to be playing in this team. Everyone's watching Brighton; it's an attractive style of football, and being out on the pitch, it's nice to be a part of it.

"It's intense, of course, there's a lot of goals in our games, but at the same time it's brave as well. We'll make a couple of mistakes, that's how we build up, but it's a style of play that we are now familiar with. The style of play here goes right through the system, from the youth to the first team, so we're all on the same page.

"I came here to be an important player in the team and to do as much as possible for the team, and I've played in most of the games so far. It's a great place to be and to play football.

"We'll always go out there to try and win the game. Of course, we don't know what the end result will be, but we always go onto the pitch with real self-belief to try and win the game. I think the mindset has changed a lot in the two seasons I've been here in that respect. We've got our philosophy and we stick to it and battle. We also have a real togetherness in the squad, so if someone's having a difficult time, the rest of us will be there to back him up. That's true of everyone, right through the squad."
