"We're very happy with the first half of the season and we could also have taken more points. We've shown we can compete and that's very good.
"We have to keep going because it's a tough second half and we have to be prepared."
Brighton travel to last season's champions Chelsea tomorrow, for a 3pm kick-off, and Gross said: "We are looking forward to it.
