I'm going to have a beer

“It was a frustrating afternoon for everybody concerned,” said Adams. “I am disappointed because it was a game that we wanted to win, but we weren’t good enough, particularly in the attacking third.

“We have got to find ways of breaking teams down when they put men behind the ball. Burnley came with a game plan so good luck to them. But we have certainly got to do better.

“There was very little incident in both penalty areas and the goalkeepers had very little to do.

“I said to the players before the game that these boys had been to Wigan and they had frustrated them to get a good 0-0 draw. I told tem we had to be patient and I reiterated that at half time.

“There is a frustration around the place at the moment. Only one team has come to the Walkers Stadium and tried to attack us and tried to open us up.

That was Sheffield United and it cost them because we scored three goals.

“We have got to be better in the attacking third an I can understand the fans’ frustration. If you’d asked me a week ago if I would take seven points from three games I would have taken that, of course I would.

“I am delighted with that return but I understand that we have got to be better at home. We have to be more inventive.”

The Leicester manager astonishingly questioned the decision and said, “If you look at the video of the sending off it shows that the referee was technically right but whether it warranted a red card or not is debateable.

“We are disappointed with that decision. Our best chance of ever winning a game is by keeping eleven players on the pitch and we didn’t do that.”

Steve Cotterill returned to the club where he was coach last season and again was a happy man as the Clarets earned themselves a point, although he claimed that we could have gone on and won it.

“I’m delighted with the point,” he enthused after the game. “We’ve had two tough away games this week and I’m delighted with the two points we’ve picked up.

“We could have taken all three points today though because in the second half we had the better chances and more of them.”

And referring to the incident when we claimed the ball had gone over the line he claimed, “Jean-Louis said the ball was over the line so we could have won it.”

Back to the game in general he added, “It was important that we kept them quiet in the first half because it could have tricky with them coming here on the back of two wins. They could then have been on for nine points out of nine this week.

“They won their game against Sheffield United in the first twenty minutes so it was vital that we kept them out during that early period.

“We’ve got ourselves a good result against a good club and now I’m going to have a beer with Micky Adams, Dave Bassett, Peter Shirtliff and Alan Cork.”
