Caretaker boss Chris Hughton: "It's been the case since day one - I'm not just saying that now. Until that happens, we just need to do our best and try and get results.
"The first goal summed up our luck at the moment, with the deflection off Steven Taylor, and that's what happens when you don't get the rub of the green.
"With every defeat, you try and seek positives and the reaction to going one down was good - but what you have to do, when you are on top, is score.
"We also came out strongly at the start of the second half, but once the third went in it was difficult.
"It hasn't been difficult. We have a typical training ground environment, where the lads get on well and prepare well for games.
"Getting them right for games hasn't been a problem and once that's the case, you want to get results. That's the disappointment.
"It would be easy for me to say that all the off-field stuff has affected the players but you just don't know.
"Some of the guys have been in similar or worse situations before with other clubs.
"All I can do is prepare the team as best I can and picking up the players for a big game on Wednesday against Spurs in the Carling Cup."
