Chris Hughton was disappointed with the way Albion conceded goals after a 3-2 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.
The Seagulls boss insists his side need to improve on their defending as a team if they are to start climbing the table.
A goal two minutes after Albion went ahead and a minute before half-time gave the visitors a huge boost at a vital stage of the game.
Hughton said: “After taking the lead, the last thing you need is to concede a goal when we did just before half-time which gave Forest the lift they wanted and the lift they needed.
“What we have done is concede poor goals today, two from set-plays at vital parts of the game, albeit our goals were similar. We conceded poor goals at bad times.
“Unless we are going to be a tight enough side that is not conceding goals, then the only other option is we are scoring more.
“In today’s performance where we had a lot of possession, where they sat back and played very much on the counter, we weren’t able to get into good enough areas to break them down consistently enough and hence that being the case you have got to be resolute and stop goals going in in which we weren’t able to do.”
