CLARK: "IT WAS A FAIR RESULT"

Posted on: Sat 06 Feb 2010

Town boss Lee Clark gave us his thoughts after this afternoon's draw with Carlisle United:

"It was probably a fair result to be honest with you. We weren't at our best at all really and it was a disappointing performance. You get yourselves up in the game and then you get done by someone not staying with their runner and it gets squared across and it goes in.

"In the end we could have won it, but we could also have lost it. It's a strange one, I don't know whether that's a positive or not but it's two points dropped. We're at home and you want to win all your home games. It takes us another point towards our tally but we'll have to go to Brighton and get a result now.

"My players have to be better. If you want to be a good a player, a top player, you've got to realise that the opposition with try and stop you, you have to accept that and be good enough to combat that. If someone's trying to stop you playing or man marking you then you have to combat that.

"I believe in the players that I have got out there and when they start firing on all cylinders again it will happen. There's been three or four out there who, not for the first time this season, have been up and down. I am not going to start naming players because they are all good lads in there. I have too much respect for them and they know I have very high standards and we win together and lose together.

"I thought Dean (Heffernan) showed he has good energy and good fitness levels, but he picked up a niggly groin injury so we brought him off. Nathan (Eccleston) showed the awareness and speed he has. Neal (Trotman) wasn't as dominant as he was last week, but that was the team in general.

"I want the high expectation and I want the crowds. I want this place full every week and I want them to be highly demanding - that's not an issue - I grew up around that. Players have to be able to handle that. It's easier when there's a few thousand watching and there's no demands on you, but it's not for me and I don't want it to be for my players. You need people to demand big things from you and the players."
