Regardless of anything else, I can’t fault the players for their effort and commitment because I thought they have been excellent…

After the game manager Neil Aspin said: “They have shown fight, determination and they have done that now on three occasions – because they have have had three difficult games.

“If the players do that for me then I am happy. Of course in time we need to improve our quality, you always need to improve the squad, but I can’t ask for any more than what the players have done over the last three games.”

“I have seen them play this season and spoken to a couple of other managers and I do rate them very highly. They have some good players and strength in depth, so we were up against a really good team and had to work exceptionally hard if we were going to get a result.

“Regardless of anything else, I can’t fault the players for their effort and commitment because I thought they have been excellent.”
