Yeovil bowed out of the Sky Bet Championship following a 2-0 defeat at Brighton but boss Gary Johnson was proud of their efforts this season.

The Somerset side, who have been punching above for much of the season were determined not to go away quietly.

And a battling display nearly ruined Brighton's chances of securing a place in the playoffs until late goals from Kazenga LuaLua and Jesse Lingard.

Johnson has a year remaining on his contract but wants assurances about the direction of the club before he considers taking on another promotion bid.
