Brighton keeper Ryan sets target for the second half of the season
The Seagulls have 22 points at the halfway stage of the season and are ten points clear of the bottom three.
Ryan wants Albion to better that total in the second half of the season and said: "That's the minimum, 22 more points, and hopefully a bit more.

"Of late especially, we've been giving up goals a little bit too easily for this level of football.
"It's hard to put my finger on it but teams are creating chances a little bit too easily and it hasn't been sitting well with anyone of us. Hopefully we can tighten that to begin with and I always say if you don't concede a goal in a game, the worst case scenario is you draw the game 0-0.
"We seem to be creating a lot more and scoring a lot more this season than what we did last year.

Ryan has joined up with Australia for the Asian Cup, so either David Button or Jason Steele will be in goal tomorrow when Albion host Everton.
