Brighton went into a home game against an out of form Bournemouth side that had lost eleven out of their last twelve matches and lost 5-0 (they were 2-0 down and doing nothing when the sending off occurred). They then had us (who had lost six out of seven) in another home game knowing that a draw would leave them needing just one point from fifteen to put us in a position where we needed to avoid defeat in either the Liverpool and Man United matches and blew it completely.
Brighton have been in woeful form for months and have lost that confidence they had at the Amex which enabled them to survive pretty comfortably last season, they've not suddenly lost form and I think it's realistic to believe that they aren't going to get many points from here on in. If we can beat Fulham and Palace, they're going to need to get four points from what looks a very tough run in - there's nothing in Brighton's form to say they can do that and so I can see where Gringo is coming from.
