Chris Hughton says 36 points will not be enough to keep Albion in the Premier League.
That is the Seagulls' current tally and they are seven points clear of the relegation zone.
But Hughton believes they need more from their remaining four games, beginning at Burnley on Saturday.
He said: "It's certainly good to have the points in the bag and I'd rather be in the position where we've got points rather than to be chasing those points.
"We know we have work to do and everyone is aware of the challenge that we have and the magnitude of the games we have, but we'll go into every game trying to get points and believing that we can get points.
"Until we are in a position where we're over the line then of course we can't rest easily. Our mentality is that we still need points.
"I still feel that the teams below us are going to be pushing and some will get the results they need."
Albion face a tough final week against top three Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool after the trip to Turf Moor.
