Brighton captain Lewis Dunk admitted some frustration after victory over Aston Villa.
Joao Pedro struck for the 1-0 win.
Dunk said: "I've missed this feeling, it's been a long time. We've not been good enough but it's nice to get back to winning ways.
"We've have a different week this week, away from the training ground and doing a lot of team building. And we've got the three points thankfully.
"We were all disappointed after the Bournemouth game. We've done something different this week. We had a day away from the training ground doing different activities and getting that spirit back. It's tough when you're losing, it's not easy. "
