While talking to BBC Sport after the game, he said (via football.london):&quot;Yes of course. The scoreline and the defeat is a painful one. We didn't really recover. Once the crowd were so engaged it was a difficult one for us. The scorelline was painful. Brighton played a good game especially in the first half.&quot;He added:&quot;You can always look at goals and think you can do better. We have to take responsibility a bit in the first half. We have had a lot of football but that's no excuse. We couldn't quite get to that level. We didn't take our oopportunities in attack and they did.&quot;Potter furthered:&quot;We had some opportunities to attack them too but unfortunately we missed the pass or didn't execute, then the scoreline was a painful one. When you lose you can always do better.&quot;
