Richarson happy with clean sheet

Last updated : 28 April 2024 By Millersmad

"The positives are that it was a clean sheet in a local derby and we were competitive. There was good work ethic.

"We started the game well. I am obviously disappointed with the end result with them going down to 10 men - our habits have got to be better.

"The players need my support and leadership to recover from weeks like that. I would like to think they have had that in abundance this week.

"The lads were on the floor (after the 5-0 losses). I've had to pick them up and change shape a little bit to get more forward runners on the pitch and be more dynamic with it. It helps when players are coming back to fitness and we have more competition for places.

"I thought first half we were disappointed we couldn't go in 1-0 up.

"We had enough possession and moments to win the game. We could have been better with our decision making.

"Is a draw a fair result? Probably because I don't think either keeper had to work hard to keep the ball out of the net, which is disappointing on our part. The sending off ruined the game like it often does."
