"They did everything we asked them to do.
"They were together, they had spirit, they had quality so we are disappointed to lose but our performance was something to be proud of."
When asked if Brighton's confidence would be dented, Potter added: "It's not dented at all. I can't be prouder of the team.
"I can't be prouder of the performance.
