Burnley manager Scott Parker, speaking to BBC Sport after his side's defeat by Brighton: "Frustrating. Probably from the result really, I don't think there was much in the game. We concede the goal at the wrong time in the first half. The fine, fine margins of the game obviously with the two goals disallowed, which are of the finest, of finest of margins. It was an even game really but the clinical moments we had we didn't manage to execute. There's some familiarity of the year in terms of that."
On Burnley's two disallowed goals: "I think that's how you see football really now. There's a perfection to the game. People will always fall back and reference well it's the correct decision. If that's what it is, that's what it is. I get we're in a world where everyone wants perfection in every walk of life, and football is certainly turning out that way. But from my side when I look back on it, from a still, it doesn't actually look like offside.
"Now, of course, I get that you can reference that obviously it was from the angle. But that's ultimately the way it is. We're ultimately falling back on technology, or AI, or some gadget that will prove a human being wrong in that sense. That's the way it is. That's disapointing. It's by the finest of finest of knee caps. That's the way it's going.
"I see a team fully committed. We can be critical of this team in certain moments on the lack of quality or lack of clinical moments. But I didn't see a team you can be critical of in terms of effort. "

Paul Heckingbottom's side are mathematically safe from relegation
Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after their away win over Charlton Athletic.
"I'm really pleased It was hard earned and we had to show everything," he said. "The game started really fast and it was to and fro until they scored when I thought we got a lot more control of the game.
"We scored a good goal, made some really good opportunities and we came out in the second half and were the same again
"But whenever you don't get that two-goal margin you know you will have to defend,
"Charlton are at their most dangerous when they are direct so it made for a nervy finish and we had to defend the box.
"There were some really good challenges, headers and blocks we expected it and knew we had to do it. We stood up and were really good value."Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire:

Analysis: A daunting challenge to avoid droppublished at 17:55 BST 11 April

Burnley supporters did not hide their frustration at the final whistle as their club fell to a 2-0 defeat by Brighton at Turf Moor - a fourth loss in five matches.
But their players showed plenty of spirit and made things extremely difficult for the Seagulls before being ultimately beaten by a clinical display from their opponents.
They had the ball in the net in both halves as Jaidon Anthony and Bashir Humphreys thought they had scored, but lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) reviews were needed to chalk off both strikes by narrow margins.
Dutch striker Zian Flemming, who has been one of the rare bright sparks in an otherwise disappointing campaign for Burnley, was denied an equaliser by a good save from Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen with his legs.
In total, the Clarets attempted 10 shots, with five on target - compared to Brighton's six on target from 13 attempts.
Now with only one win in their last 23 league matches and 12 points from safety after West Ham's 4-0 win against bottom club Wolves on Friday, the Clarets face a daunting challenge to avoid an immediate return to the second tier.
The only hope of a miraculous escape is the fact they play three sides in the bottom six - Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Wolves - in the run-in.

Sutton's predictions: Burnley v Brightonpublished at 11:30 BST 11 April
11:30 BST 11 April
Brighton are another team who had hit a bit of form when the season paused.
After going through a sticky patch under Fabian Hurzeler, they have won four of their past five games - and I can see them winning this one too.
Burnley are always competitive, and you can see them digging in again at home, but that approach has not translated into many positive results.
As I've said for a while now, they are going down. It is more about what happens next season and whether they stick with manager Scott Parker to try to get them back up. Their fans don't appear to be convinced by him.
