Bradbury on narrow Spireites defeat

Posted on: Sat 28 Jan 2012

Cherries boss Lee Bradbury reflects on the first league defeat on the road since September:

"I told all the lads after the game not to be too disappointed.  As a manager, I was thinking what we could have done differently from the players point of view, and I don't think we could have done too much.  We put in a good shift and had possession of the ball for the majority of the time.  If anything, we could have been more creative in front of goal.

If it was a draw, I don't think you'd find too many people moaning.  I think both managers would be stood here saying it was a fair result.  It was a great goal that opened us up and to be fair to the lad, it was a great strike, and it was the moment that changed the game.  We changed things round during the game, switching to 442 and then 4312 to try and cause them problems, but Chesterfield defended well, were resolute and defended well.

It's fine lines, we had a chance just after the break and if that goes in, it's a different game.  All things come to an end, and we can reflect on the very good run we've been on.  If you said to me after the Notts County away game that we would go on the away run that we've been on, then I would have taken it.  I can't deny that I'm very disappointed, but we have positives to take from the game and with the character that we have, we can come back from this.

The game was changed out of our power to a Friday night, and we still took 600 supporters which was fantastic.  There were the free coaches, but there were still a lot of people went under their own steam and everyone gave up their time to support the lads which was great.  I'm just disappointed that we didn't get a result for them."
