Preston boss Simon Grayson: "They are a very strong team but off the ball we did very well. The shape was very good and defensively we limited them to few opportunities.
"Second half I thought we were the better team, so I'm disappointed we haven't won it, but two clean sheets against Brighton is a big ask from the players.
"We've got a number of games left now and we'll just keep approaching it as we have over the last few weeks. We want the players to go out and express themselves."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "We had a couple of good chances and so did they. On the balance of play I thought we threatened but we didn't retain possession well enough in the areas we needed to.
"They worked very hard and restricted the quality balls we were able to put in. Away from home if you can't play as well as you'd like you've got to make sure not to lose the game.
"Defensively, we were solid again. As a back four we had a fair bit to deal with.
"The only disappointment is that we didn't keep possession well enough and if you don't do that then you make life harder for yourself."
I see your lads play them on Tuesday, seen them twice this season still do not rate them as promotion contenders, they are decent when you let them play but if you get in their faces and do not let them play they cannot handle it. They fall down and scream in pain at the mearest touch and do not like the physical approach. Bit of a trek for Wednesday on a Tuesday night though but that is the Football League for you

Still leaves you slightly adrift but still within reach if you can go on a run and with it being so tight just above you there will be points lost by most teams on the run in. An outside shot at this stage , but still a shot!!

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
