Paul Konchesky refuses to give up on top-two place for Leicester City

Paul Konchesky said it is going to take a big push to claim automatic promotion – but Leicester City still have a good chance.

The full-back admitted after the 1-0 defeat at Ipswich they are losing ground on the top two, but said they would not give up on closing that eight-point gap.

"We are creating chances but we need to start picking up more points than we are losing," he said.

"We want to go up automatically. It is going to take a big push but we still have a great chance.

"When you look at it you are obviously worried, but Cardiff lost again so there are points to be played for and we need to pick up more points than we lose.

"The priority is automatic promotion and we won't give up until the end. There are plenty of points to play for."

Konchesky admitted the defeat, which came after a mistake by Wes Morgan allowed David McGoldrick to score a late winner, was a "kick in the teeth".

"The last two games we got two good results and we came here for the win," he said.

"Confidence was high after last Tuesday and it is a kick in the teeth really.

"We are all obviously disappointed. We know it was a sloppy goal we gave away but we still had some chances and we didn't play at our full potential.

"We have to come to these places and at least pick up at a draw.

"We are disappointed at losing the game. We needed to get three points. That is what we came here to do.

"I thought we started the second half all right and had a few chances. We didn't take them and they got a goal, in the build-up to which there was a foul on Wes Morgan.

"We have seen it and it is a bad one really. Wes has lost his head and we have lost a goal.

"You see the first bit with Michael Chopra, which wasn't given, and then the big lad (Daryl Murphy) when he came on, gave Wes a big elbow and he lost his head.

"It isn't the best thing but he did (lose his head) and it led to the goal.

"But we have created chances and we aren't blaming anyone for that."
