Inigo Calderon prepared for battle in playoff semi-final

Inigo Calderon has insisted that Brighton & Hove Albion are fully prepared for the fight ahead of the second leg of their playoff semi-final against Derby County.

Brighton head into the game as underdogs following a 2-1 defeat at the Amex Stadium on Thursday night, but Calderon is optimistic of turning it around as the club looks to reach the Premier League for the first time.

"The important thing is that we are alive going into the second leg and there's only one goal in it," the Spaniard told reporters.

"We still have a chance and we will fight until the last second of the last second of the game. "It's going to be more like the second half from the first leg. We've got to score one but they are going to play on the counter-attack. Hopefully it's going to be a good game for us."

Derby manager Steve McClaren has warned his side against complacency going into the second leg.
