BBM: We felt we could have, maybe should have, won the game

BBM:


"Disappointed not to win, obviously. We felt as if we could have and maybe should have, but we understand Sheffield are a very strong team in this division, so today we had to accept the draw.

"But over the course of the game, we created enough chances to win, and that's all I can ask from the players really.

"The game plan for us was very specific.

"We knew the strengths of Sheffield United and we knew what we had to do to try and be effective in the game.

"When you lose two quick goals, it's easy to go away from that game plan, but the players showed a lot of courage and a really strong mentality to still play really brave football, really committed football, and create good chances.

"Which ultimately gave us a second goal and created a chance in the second half to win the game, but we just didn't take them.

"We have to show a really strong mentality and get even better.

"Like I said previously, playing for this club and this division, we have to try and win every game. That's our mindset and mentality.

"I'm sure if we continue to improve, we'll get the wins that we feel we deserve."

Agreed. A terrible few minutes early on; after that, it was all us. I feel we should have at least seven points, but with the new players and players coming back from injury, we will get even stronger.
