Manager, Matt Bee said: "I'm proud of all the players for the effort and intensity they brought to the game. We found a good balance between being compact but also offering a threat in the areas that we wanted to.

"The second half we sharpened up with the ball and we created some great moments. Clearly there is disappointment after the game in the dressing room as we felt we did enough to win the game. However, I can't fault the performance and the work the players put in. We believe in what we do and how we work and today was another example of how effective we can be when we trust ourselves.

"Our recent form has been good, with the obvious exception being the Brighouse game, every other performance has been consistent and strong. We will continue to keep working hard on the training pitch to keep moving forward."
