(Did we deserve to draw?) no, is the short answer. (It was) a weird game really. It looked like a mid-table game that meant nothing to either team. I don't think there were many chances for either side. We were shocking, absolutely shocking.
Worst performance of the season by a distance. You can credit us for pulling it out of the bag or snatching a point, but we have to be better. And the biggest thing for me that concerns me is, these lads have got it all to play for.
All to play for, you know, and we turn up like it means nothing. I'm looking at big players, important players, not running hard enough, not getting in behind, not stretching teams. I'm looking at players who have played (at a) higher level for years, making bad decisions all over the pitch, when to take a touch, when to play off one.
The pitch was difficult, especially first half when it rained; it really bobbled, really dry. Same for both teams. So, you manage the conditions, and you hit areas, but if you hit areas, you have to have willing runners. We didn't hit areas, and we didn't have willing runners. That was all the hallmarks of a really bad side.
It's not the side that I want. It's not the team talks we're giving. It's not the instructions we're passing to the lads. It comes down to endeavour. It always stops with me as a manager, because again, I build the team, I pick the team. You can clearly see we're missing Draper.
You can dress it up any way you want. We're missing the biggest target man in the league and somebody who puts his body about and would die for the cause. Jaanai, I think, is a very good player, but he needs bodies around him, he needs runners off him, and we haven't got the desire at the minute around him to go and stretch teams in behind.
I shouldn't be telling players at half-time they've got five minutes; five minutes to show me that they care, otherwise they're coming off. So, we can keep flipping it and saying we're unbeaten in seven, and in this league unbeaten in seven is brilliant.
But listen, it's not just today. Today we snatched the point from being behind, but we were two goals up at Aycliffe, threw it away. We were two goals up at Ashington, threw it away.
A goal up at Consett, threw it away. I've said to the players in there, I'm out of ideas in terms of what I need to do to them boys to gee them up. Because we go up in games and then we start and look shaky and can’t hold on to a lead, and then we go behind in games and we're up flat.
Coming at half-time it's 0-0. I thought someone had died. It was absolutely flat as a pancake. So, listen, we're fourth in the league. Just look at it, we're fourth in the league. But I've said loads of times to supporters, I want it as much as they do.
And I think there's a core of lads in that dressing room that want it as much as I do, but there's a periphery that I don't think do. So, we've either drag them players along with us, or they've got to shape up real quick. Or we've got a problem.
It's as simple as that. We can't keep drawing games. And what we've done now is we've put ourselves in a position where we've got to go and do it against the big boys.
So that would be a test of character, because against the better sides they certainly won't let you off the way we got let off today.
