Brighton boss Dario Vidosic has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Women's Super League game against Crystal Palace (kick-off 14:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Crystal Palace "are getting better and better every week", says Vidosic and he believes it will "100% be a tough game" this weekend.

• Vidosic says the fans will make it clear that it is a derby match and that "adds an extra edge" to the fixture.

• He adds: "We’re excited for it. It was the first game I was told about when I arrived. You love a derby week and we’re ready for it."

• Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor said the way he set up his side to face Brighton was similar to how he approached their 2-0 win over Barcelona, and Vidosic says it is a "huge compliment" to be discussed in the same bracket as the "best team in the world".

• He adds: "A lot of people hold Barca to that accolade - that they are the best and they are the European champions. For us to be so short in our journey and be compared to them, is a huge compliment. I have to be very thankful and appreciative of that."

• Vidosic also hopes his side will "go out and dictate the game" against Palace.

Teenager Jack Hinshelwood has made an impressive start to his senior career at Brighton & Hove Albion, employed in central midfield and on either side of the defence.

With England low on options at left-back, The Football News Show asks Brighton podcaster Ryan Adsett if he thinks the 19-year-old could be the answer.

Argus journalist Brian Owen believes the effort Brighton boss Fabion Hurzeler put into communication during his early time at the club has helped him adjust after the end of his "extended honeymoon" period.

The Seagulls occupy sixth position heading into the October international break and responded well to the 4-2 defeat at Chelsea with Sunday's stunning 3-2 comeback win over Spurs.

"Every team has good players and most teams have more expensive players than Brighton have got so on and off the pitch as a club and team you have to do things a little bit differently," Owen told Albion Unlimited. "You have to be a little bit inventive.

"I thought Hurzeler had quite an extended honeymoon period of his own making because pre-season went well, the signings were exciting, he was really good at communicating, making himself known and getting to know people. He made a really good impression in that way and then results continued into the season.

"His honeymoon period lasted longer than for most coaches. I wrote a piece after the Chelsea loss saying it was getting a bit cold, players have niggles, things aren't going so well, there's criticism flying around and the honeymoon was over. This is now the English football season.

"He spoke about that at Stamford Bridge saying this is the challenge he has come for. Now, it feels like we're into the proper season but the groundwork that he did, the early work he did on the pitch and with media, with fans, how he came across has helped him.

"He did things like an old stager, belied his years."
