“But in terms of what we ask from the lads: desire, commitment and energy, we got all that.”

“Mixed emotions. I thought first half we were very good despite conceding the goal and we responded to that.
“We had been very calm, bought management of the sport once more and scored a great aim from a set-piece. I preferred the look of us in that half. I assumed we had been very threatening and gave them little or no.
“Second half we had some moments, but we didn’t have the same control I’d like us to have. And in the end we ground it out and fought hard to get the point, and we’ll take that.”
