Little details have turned in our favour - Shane Duffy
Albion began 2019 with a seven-game winless run in the Premier League when the players felt all the little details in matches were going against them.
Things turned with a 1-0 win at home to Huddersfield and Brighton followed it up with a 2-1 victory at arch rivals Crystal Palace.

Albion's equaliser came when Millwall keeper David Martin dropped Solly March's deep free kick into his own goal and Duffy said: "There wasn't any panic (about the start to the year) because we weren't playing too badly. It was just the little details.
"The goalkeeper obviously makes a mistake and it's just little turning points like that.
"Maty (Ryan) then saves a penalty and we're through, so it's just the little fine details.

Duffy added Albion's players did not get down about the winless run they went on and said: "We are always confident and it's three wins in a row now.
"A month ago everyone was going crazy that we didn't get a win, so it's three and you've just got to build on it.
"We've got a break now but a lot of players are away so we'll get back and the gaffer will be straight on to us to be ready."
