New Albion boss Gus Poyet has no fear about launching his managerial career at Southampton.
Poyet believes he has inherited a squad capable of climbing the League One table, starting with tomorrow’s south coast derby at St Mary’s (4.30).
The Seagulls have won only one of their last ten matches in all competitions and face a Saints side unbeaten in eight games.
Poyet said: “They are doing very well now they have got the ten-point deduction out of their system.
“They have got good quality players going forward, they have been playing well at home and the pitch is magnificent but we are going there with no fear.
“We respect them. We know how they play and we know their weaknesses and we will try to take advantage of those. We are going with the mentality of winning the game.”
Poyet was only appointed on Tuesday and did not start working with the players until Thursday.
“The important thing is for the players to show a reaction, because we need a reaction, and to start winning games,” he said.
“I am absolutely convinced that we have got enough quality to win football matches every week. I am not saying we are going to win all of them but we are capable of winning them.
“If we start winning games the fans are going to love it, then everything is going to be much easier.
“I gave 100 per cent every time I played for my clubs and I become very supportive of the club where I am. I think that shows people you really care.
“I’m a Brighton fan now and everything that happens with Brighton now affects me, in the right way or a bad way, like every single Brighton fan.”
Poyet is forced into at least one defensive change, with Andrew Whing likely to replace the suspended Gavin Hoyte at right-back.
On-loan Arron Davies, FA Cup tied by Nottingham Forest for last Saturday’s 4-4 draw at Wycombe Wanderers, is available again but Dean Cox is expected to to be retained on the left wing.

I love this man. Bring on Sunday.
