Manager Comments:
Mark Bonner - "It's a game where we need to respond and to keep trying to find a way of winning.
"It comes around really quick, so there's no need to feel sorry for ourselves. We have got to try and get ourselves going really quickly."
Andy Woodman [speaking after the draw with Swindon ] - “We couldn’t get our game going, they didn’t let us get our game going and we have to give credit to them for that. That happens sometimes. I wanted us to show more tempo in the second half and get more bodies up the pitch and we did that- we stopped being safe."
