- Sean on Huddersfield draw
Posted on: Tue 28 Dec 2004
Cherries manager Sean O'Driscoll talked about the affects of a nine day break from playing and had good news about Warren Cummings' late injury.
Sean said, "If we knew we were going to have the nine days we'd have approached the game a bit differently. It's a strange one really because we've gone into a period of two games in three days and we didn't have the first game. At times in the first half I thought that showed, but we dug in, were committed and I was pleased."
"It took a little while to get going, got the goal, but credit to Huddersfield as they gave as good as they got. Both teams felt they could have won it at times. Huddersfield are probably one of the best sides I've seen down here and I thought we did well in a game that was always going to be difficult for us."
"It was a good game for the supporters and we'll be better for having that ninety minutes under our belts. It was a game between two evenly matched teams and I thought the draw was a fair result."
A draw was closing to being an away win with Moss denying Brandon with a last gasp save. Sean added, "That's what he's there for. Huddersfield tried that the whole game and that's what their front six are all about. They have two big strikers and a midfield four with plenty of pace and that can get onto those second balls. They were always going to cause problems, but we responded well and didn't get frustrated."
Warren Cummings had to be replaced late on and Sean had good news for the waiting press. He said, "He [Warren] just got a stud in the shin so he's had a couple of stitches so hopefully he'll be fine. It's not a ligament or a strain; it's just a straight forward blow. It's quite nasty at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be fine."
