Brighton & Hove Albion captain Gordon Greer has claimed that the team must take advantage of their home games if they are to challenge for promotion from the Championship.

The Seagulls, who are seven points adrift of the playoffs, play their next three league games at the Amex Stadium.

"To keep in touch we are under no illusions that we need to pick up points and fast," Greer told BBC Sussex.

"If you look over the course of the season we have dropped points at home to the so-called weaker teams. It's been tough, playing against some good teams, so we are delighted to have a few home games now."

Brighton host Doncaster Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
