Albion boss Dean Wilkins revealed today that he has no sympathy for Bradford's plight at the wrong end of the table.
The Yorkshiremen are desperate for a result at Withdean tomorrow to keep alive their slim hopes of survival but Wilkins insists there is still plenty of motivation for the Seagulls, even though they are safe.
He said: "I don't care two hoots about what anyone else is doing, I am just worried about myself and our club.
"Regardless of where you are in the league, everybody has got their pride and their club to play for.
"We are all professionals trying to do our job the best we can so everybody in their own way has things to play for whether it be a player, myself, Dean White (assistant) or Chappers (coach Ian Chapman). And of course we want to put on a performance at Withdean."
Albion have won only one of their last ten games at Withdean and scored in only two of the last eight.
Wilkins is playing down the apparent home hoodoo in the hope that his players will relax and reproduce the kind of form they showed in the opening 45 minutes of Monday's 2-1 defeat at Tranmere.
He said: "We must not get the players going into the game feeling as though they are desperate. If you try to heap that sort of pressure on them then it could be worse.
"There were lots of positives to come out of Monday's game, even though I was not at all happy at losing. The first-half performance gave us great hope in the way we moved the ball and the movement off the ball."
Albion's injury situation is much healthier than it looked earlier in the week.
Alexis Bertin (groin), Alex Revell (hernia), Adam El-Abd (back) and Guy Butters (dead leg) all trained on the artificial pitch at Waterhall yesterday, while Kerry Mayo and Alex Frutos returned from calf injuries in the reserves at Aldershot.
Joel Lynch has been told to rest for a week after being diagnosed as suffering from gladular fever.
Meanwhile, Wilkins is in no rush to sign the new "long term" contract he has been offered by the club.
He said: "There is no panic we agreed that we would speak towards the end of March and we are and that's it.
"I don't think there is any panic from our point of view."
