Albion head coach Oscar Garcia is confident his players will be backed to the hilt by the Amex crowd.

Four of the nine matches the play-off chasing Seagulls have left are at home, beginning with Middlesbrough tomorrow.

Last Saturday's visit of Ipswich attracted a season's best attendance of over 29,000 spectators, many of whom left when Albion went 2-0 down with ten minutes remaining.

Oscar said: "At the beginning of the season everyone would have been happy with our current situation, with all the things that have happened.

"As always I am sure the supporters will support us, will know what the team needs. They know the players will give everything until the end of the season."
