Andy King believes Leicester City's performance at Brighton could be a turning point, despite being disappointed at not claiming all three points.
Five games remain in the Championship and Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium leaves Nigel Pearson's men in seventh but still bang in the play-off equation.
After the dismal 2-0 defeat at Barnsley on Easter Monday, King reckons City are now back on track.
"We are massively disappointed not to have got all three points," said the 24-year-old midfielder.
"We played well, got ourselves into the lead and were looking fairly comfortable, so for them to score right at the end was disappointing.
"It was a much better performance than the one at Barnsley. Sometimes in football, you get off-days like that, but that is no excuse.
"We weren't good enough, it wasn't acceptable. We owed the supporters a performance, we owed ourselves a performance and I think that is what we got.
"Brighton are a good team at home so, to come here and play the way we have done, is an encouraging sign. We're disappointed we've only got the one point.
"Now we have to look at the next game. We're still in with a chance of the play-offs and we're playing teams in and around us, so it is in our hands.
"If we keep putting on that sort of performance, we know the results will turn our way."
Speculation about Pearson's future has been rife after a spell of 12 league matches that has reaped only seven points.
The players, however, are fully behind him.
"You can see with a performance like this one that we are 100 per cent behind him," said King.
"That has never been in question, by anyone. The job we have done so far this season has been good, but that hasn't been the case during the past couple of months, everyone knows that.
"We have five games left to make something of our season. We are all behind each other and are working hard on the training ground."
King was impressed by the performance of Jeff Schlupp, who led the line at Brighton.
"He's got that electric pace, which is a nightmare for defenders," said King.
"He played brilliantly, as he did when he came on against Barnsley. He is a bright prospect and he's going to be an outstanding player."
