The 49-year-old who also had two spells as a player at Elland Road, was in attendance at the Amex covering the match for BBC Radio Leeds and told seagulls.co.uk “Out of the two clubs, I would say Brighton have got a better chance of reaching the top six because there’s continuity here.
"Leeds have got to sort out a number of well-documented issues off the pitch first.
“Brighton will obviously be the happier side with the three points, even though it wasn’t a fantastic performance by their own high standards.
“It’s a credit to everyone here when you take a look at the stadium; it’s absolutely fantastic.
