Saturday’s 1-0 win against Leeds at the Amex Stadium lifted them level to 10 points with second-placed Manchester City and Tottenham, but Potter is paying little attention to their lofty positio ahead of tonight’s clash with Fulham.
He added: “Maybe if we’re here with four games to go, we can be more excited. We have to be satisfied with our start and we’re positive.
“Ten points from four games is a great return and we’re happy with that, but we need to stay calm and keep doing our best.”

Marco Silva on Graham Potter
“Graham is doing really well, he deserves all the credit for what he’s doing at Brighton.
“You can see that the team is improving, the team is always showing different things.
“Good players, very good recruitment. They’ve lost some good players and had to buy different ones, but the recruitment has been good and Graham Potter’s job has been fantastic.
“They are working with mostly the same players and the same coach for a long time. That always helps.
