Will Buckley believes tomorrow's game against Middlesbrough presents Brighton & Hove Albion with a key opportunity to move on from recent back-to-back losses to Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday.*
Speaking to seagulls.co.uk, the winger admits there was plenty of emotion following the undeserved loss to Wednesday but believes that is clear evidence of the squad's determination to finish the season on a high.*
He told seagulls.co.uk, "Straight after in the changing rooms we sat down and spoke about it – our tempers boiled over in the game and that shows how much we care.
"We lost the game when we probably didn't deserve to, but that's football and at the end of the day we need to make sure we put it right on Saturday.*
"We want to be in the top six so we've got to get over it quickly as there are plenty of games left to play.*
"We put pressure on ourselves to win and with our two recent defeats, it's going to be big on Saturday."

Buckley also praised the strength of Albion's squad, something he feels will be key as the season draws to a close.*
"We've always had the squad but we've had a few injuries and it's meant everyone has been involved," he adds. "Macca [Craig Mackail-Smith] and [Will] Hoskins are coming back too and there are two lads who have not even featured for us yet, so using the squad well is going to be key now.
"It's the run-in and there's plenty of games in not many weeks. Everyone has something to play for at this time of season too. Every game seems to be a little bit more important for every team, whether they're near the top or bottom of the league.
"But the teams we're playing at home are, probably, more in the bottom half and we need to take advantage of that.*
"We've just got to concentrate on ourselves now, start winning games and go on a little run like we were before the two defeats.*
"But it's going to be difficult. There's three or four teams outside the play-offs who think they can get in but we know we're still there and we need to make sure we take our chance when we get it."
