Chris Hughton pleased with Brighton’s determination in draw at Wolves

Boss Chris Hughton insisted he is happy to be branded boring if he keeps Brighton in the Premier League.The Seagulls held on for a 0-0 draw at Wolves to end a run of five straight defeats in all competitions.They sit three points above the relegation zone but will only be out of it on goal difference if Cardiff stun title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday.It was a battling performance but the unambitious visitors were content to take a point in their survival fight.Wolves fans chanted boring at the Seagulls but Hughton was unrepentant and is happy if it keeps Brighton, who go to Tottenham on Tuesday, up.He said: Yes, at this moment its about effort, determination and organisation. All thats important in these four games is getting enough points which can see us over the line.Its a relief because of where we are at this moment. Theres a satisfaction in the result,we need points and its very difficult to get three points here.We knew if we came away with a point it wouldnt be a bad one. It feels like a really good one.Im hoping we can take value from the manner of the result. We knew it was going to be very difficult.We had to show that type of work ethic and determination. If wed shown less we wouldnt have got a result.Weve found it very difficult getting goals of late. Its making sure were hard to beat.Diogo Jota twice hit the woodwork for Wolves and Leander Dendoncker was denied by Mat Ryans point-blank save.Wolves were the aggressors throughout the game, with Brighton failing to have a shot on target.But Nuno Espirito Santos side lost ground in the race for seventh, which could yield a Europa League play-off spot, and dropped to ninth.We had chances, we tried, we had a lot of the ball, it was not to be today. Its just football, he said.Its very difficult to break a team down, we created situations and Brighton defended and defended well. Their main objective was not to concede.Its up to us, we should do better in some moments. It was good goalkeeping, we hit the post, this is the game.The boys tried everything, just today the ball didnt go in the net.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
