Pete Wild gave ShaymenTV his thoughts following the 1-0 away defeat at Torquay United.
โI thought we played well, I thought we defended well, I thought we created good chances. We fought the wind in the first half, and we created good chances in the second half. They threw everything on the line, they put bodies on the line, and they did everything to stop us scoring and we had the chances to score, but we didnโt. Unfortunately, we’ve got done off what is a foul from a set piece. The referee has been told three times that there would be three lads stood in offside positions on a set piece to block us, and heโs been told and told and told, and heโs done nothing about it. Whatโs frustrating for the boys is that theyโve worked so hard and they get undone by what is a foul and itโs disappointing. Itโs one of them days, weโve thrown everything at them, we deserved at least a point and unfortunately weโve come away with nothing.”
The gaffer said โ100%โ that Town couldโve taken all three points from the game on another day.
โThe only thing Iโm frustrated about is the foul for the goal. Itโs the only thing Iโm frustrated about- I thought the lads gave everything. It wasnโt Cam King or Devante Rodneyโs day, we tried to switch it around, we tried to get Jamie and Jack on to give us some form of impetus and I think they did that, we just couldnโt get over the line today, not for want of trying. Weโre going to have days like this, itโs going to be tight, itโs going to be nervy but weโre going to crack on and move on to next week.โ
Speaking about the three changes to the starting eleven, the gaffer said.
โJacobโs been waiting for his chance, I thought he did well today. I thought Tobi was excellent today, I thought he led the line well and was a threat all game, and of course, having Browny back is fantastic and weโre back up to full strength and weโre now back up to where we want to be in terms of personnel.โ
And on next weekโs trip to Eastleigh, the gaffer said.
โItโs another long away trip and weโve got to make sure weโre resolute, make sure we defend like we defended today and hope one of them chances will go in, and fingers crossed it will for us.โ
