It all came from our mistakes, it all came from our possession and I said that to them at half-time, we were our own worst enemy. We were very careless in the first half, we never moved the ball about, we never created enough chances and it was a disappointing first half. Second half was much much better, I thought we had some wonderful individual performances, particularly the goalkeeper and the two centre-halves, I thought they were top class. It’s a great point, a wonderful point and it keeps the run going, that’s 25 without defeat and we are very proud of that record.

He missed more than one chance, he had three wonderful chances, not just him but one or two others. We had some good opportunities second half, the one he has put over the bar from a tremendous free-kick in the first half was a bad miss, but he is there, he is a young lad, I’ve said before that he has got development to do, he’s got learning to do and he has got to realise very quickly. But to be fair to him, I’ve said before that it will be next season before we see the best of him with this three and a half month illness that he had with impetigo. It’s taken an awful lot out of him but we will see the best of him once we get him a pre-season but he is a fantastic asset to us, there’s no doubt about it. Unfortunately on the day he never put the ball away.

Personally I think that this season, so far, is a much much greater achievement than last season. This season we have had to deal with the loss of Cresswell, Eddie Lewis and then Nugent with impetigo, 49 goals between the three of them. We then go and bring in David Jones from Manchester United and he goes to Holland, we bring in Adam Nowland from Forest  and he breaks his leg, we lose McKenna for seven weeks, we lost Brian O’Neil for six weeks and we make all these changes. Then we bring in young players from the lower leagues, David Hibbert, Simon Whaley, Brian Stock, all these players we have brought in and we are in a transition, there’s no doubt about it. In my opinion this is a much greater achievement because of what we have had to deal with, even if we don’t go up.

Brett works his socks off, you can never fault the lad’s attitude. He has just come into the club and his contribution so far has been excellent, I’ve taken two strikers off and put two on because I have tried to freshen it up and try and change the game. It is always difficult coming back to your old club, especially one that he had such wonderful times for and great feelings for. It is a tremendous football club, you can see that just by looking at it. We are delighted to have Brett and delighted that he is with us and I am sure that he will contribute.

I don’t think it is a big one, I think it is a tremendous challenge for the players, it’s a tremendous challenge for the staff. We are the underdogs without a doubt, when you look at their squad and the team that they have and it will be a very difficult match. But we have got nothing to lose, we will go out there and enjoy the game, we will have a right go, do the best that we can and hopefully get the little breaks that you need in Cup football to go on to get into the next round.

I just felt that away from home it was important that we had his devilment, he’s a great battler and he has got a tremendous left foot and his performances before he got injured were excellent. It was a little bit of a risk but I certainly felt that it was necessary with regards to the team that we were playing against and obviously with us being away from home I thought it was vital.

1888, it’s 22 in one season. We are also now 25 undefeated but we now have 22 in the one league season. We are very proud of that record in the club’s 125 year history, to go and match that it is a very proud day for everyone connected with this football club as far as I am concerned.
