Captain Richard Naylor firmly believes Leeds United can use Tuesday's defeat at the hands of Walsall as a catalyst to bounce back against Brighton at Elland Road on Saturday.

Naylor tasted defeat for the first time on home soil in the league this week when Walsall emerged 2-1 winners at Elland Road, but United have an immediate chance to get back on a winning note against the Seagulls.

"Hopefully we can use what happened in midweek as a catalyst," said Naylor.

"We lost at Millwall earlier in the season and went on a good run after that. Hopefully we can put on a display and get a result.

"Brighton have improved a lot under Gus, but we have to stick together, be patient, and not panic and do the wrong things.

"It's tight up there in the league at the moment and any team can put a run together. We put a run together last season at this stage.

"Us and Charlton looked to be nailed on at one stage earlierin the season, but there'll be more twists and turns. We have to concentrate on ourselves and if we do okay we'll be alright."
