“It was hard work and they are a hard side to play against,” he said after the final whistle. “They lob the ball forward and Gifton Noel-Williams heads a few on for Akinbiyi to get on the end of. But they didn’t muscle us out.
“They scored from a free kick [it was a corner] but I thought we stood up quite well to the battering and we didn’t allow ourselves to get bullied. We didn’t play as much football as we would have liked, although we should flashes of what we can do, and we created quite a few chances as well, certainly more than they did.
“Luke Varney got in there in the first half and Steve Jones had two or three chances as well although wasn’t quite there today. But the pace of the two boys always gives us a chance. The two boys at the back handled their front two very well also.”
Dario G then went into his, we’ve been hard done to, comments that we have heard so many times before.

“I didn’t think we played at all well in the first half, we were a bit too back-to-front too quickly and we spoke about that, but we were better in the second half and we’ve got to make sure we’re better again on Tuesday night.”
