Here is what Sean O'Driscoll had to say after witnessing his side draw 2-2 at Scunthorpe.

"Credit to Scunthorpe, they applied a lot of pressure towards the end. Before they scored we'd had a few off the line and Gareth (Stewart) had also made a couple of decent saves. They've taken a chance and it's difficult to know how to react after that. If we'd had a few more points we might have gambled, but we haven't. All in all I thought the draw was a fair result.

"The only time they had the ball in the first six minutes is when we gave it away. We're a passing side. Sometimes it can be our biggest strength and sometimes it's our biggest weakness. It's another game unbeaten, we were excellent for an hour and now we've got to take that forward into the next game. We've got our ball players back and that's how we encourage the team to play.

"The referee said Eddie pulled down Steve Torpey for the penalty. From where I was I thought they collided as he got up. It's difficult to see from the dug-out, but we reacted well to what was a dubious penalty.

"We were back in the game right after their goal. We dominated the rest of the first half and Hayter's header was the icing on the cake. James (O'Connor) had a good chance before he scored and if both of his chances had gone in we'd have been home and dry.

"We've had a chat afterwards with the players and said what do you do when they throw three forward. We changed things around a bit and put Marcus in front of the back three for some protection. Keogh switched flanks and started running at Stephen (Purches) and that also made a difference."
