Dewsbury-hall wants to forget about Spurs
Kiernan Dewsbury-hall insists Leicester can use their late collapse against Tottenham as inspiration.
The midfielder admits morale was low after they conceded two quick- fire Steven Bergwijn goals in stoppage time to lose 3-2 on Wednesday.
The Foxes host Brighton today and are aiming to reduce the 10-point gap to the top seven.
Defeat by Spurs hit their hopes of mounting a European challenge, but Dewsbury- Hall believes they can use it to their advantage.
He said: “I’ve never experienced anything like that but, of course, hopefully I won’t experience anything like that again. That’s football, you can never predict what’s going to happen.
“The game is never won, no matter what the time is, so it’s something you can definitely learn from.
“It’s an awful feeling, but it’s about dusting ourselves down now and moving on to the next game.
“It was quite a shock, to be honest. I think for a lot of the players, it’s something you’re not used to seeing. We played 94 minutes of the game really well and it was just that last lapse of judgement at the end that cost us.
“It was really low in there and the players were just so upset for ourselves and the fans but we can put it right at the weekend against Brighton.”
Graham Potter will be absent for Brighton, but has been hailed as one of the best managers in the business by assistant Billy Reid.
Reid will take charge of the Seagulls at the King Power Stadium after Potter returned a positive test for coronavirus on Friday.
Potter’s absence could be a blow for Brighton, who have attracted plenty of plaudits for their performances under the 46-year-old.
Reid, who has worked under Potter for nine years at Ostersunds, Swansea and Brighton, said: “I kind of knew with the first impression that he was a real thinker of football. When I went over to Sweden I quickly realised that this guy is well above this level.
“His man- management of players is fantastic and I feel Graham is a top, top manager, in my opinion. It has been a real privilege to work with him and a real learning curve for me.”
