TOMMY Elphick has called on Albion to respond to their first defeat under Gus Poyet by springing another surprise away from home.

The Seagulls have no time to dwell on Saturday’s 3-0 lesson against runaway League One leaders Leeds United at Withdean.

They face another big test at in-form Norwich tomorrow night and centre-half Elphick believes they are capable of repeating their victory against the odds at Southampton in Poyet’s opening match in charge.

Elphick said: “We have got to learn from it (Saturday) but put it to the back of our minds.

“We had only won once in ten games and then we put two together. We’ve had a little setback but it’s time to dust ourselves down.

“We’ve got a massive game on Tuesday and it is the type of game where we will go there and hopefully cause an upset.

“The Southampton game away from home is the type in which Brighton have caused an upset down the years and Tuesday will hopefully be no different.

“We’ll set our stall out early. We’ll probably have to soak up a lot of pressure at times and be disciplined and with the boys we have got up front we can hopefully nick a win.”

Goals by Robert Snodgrass, the prolific Jermaine Beckford and man-of-the-match Neil Kilkenny sentenced the Seagulls to a sixth home league defeat out of nine against Leeds.

Elphick revealed there was no major dressing room inquest as Albion prepare for the fourth of six matches squeezed into 17 days in East Anglia tomorrow night.

He said: “The games are coming thick and fast and we can't be going around getting on each other’s backs and panicking, because we have got a lot of games to put things right and there is still a long way to go.

“It is a long process. We put two wins together and maybe everyone thought we were going to turn Leeds over but we have still got a bit of work to do. I am sure we will get there.”
