Reserves defender Brad Smith reflects on yesterday's draw.
DK: A good result today against a team chasing a play-off place, you must be pleased?
BS: Yeah it’s a great result for us especially against a top end side and a good result was definitely deserved after a tough period for us.
DK: How would you assess the performance as a team today?
BS: I think as a team we battled through difficult stages of the game well and come back from them well. First 20-25 minutes thought we were the better side and then conceded and from that point I’d say up until the 60 minute mark we were very strong defensively stopping them from going further ahead. Then showed good character to come through and score a late equaliser. It was well deserved as we showed great character defensively to give us the opportunity to come out with a point and Pitty popped up and poked one home when we needed it.
DK: How do you feel the season is going both for you personally and as a team?
BS: It's been a season full of ups and downs at a very early stage as a young side trying to adapt to the league so it’s been a slow start points wise, but I feel like as the season continues we’ll grow stronger and stronger. On a personal note my main objective is to continue to progress as a player and continue to battle on no matter what the situation is.
DK: Next up on Wednesday, a big game for the U18s in the FA Youth Cup, what are you lads expecting from the game?
BS: Yeah it’s a huge opportunity for us lads to put ourselves in the hat for the first official round and I think me and all the lads are buzzing for the occasion. And it’s nice to be involved in a game like that.
DK: Equally how excited are you for the game, travelling hopefully with a full coach?
BS: I can’t wait it’s one of the biggest games I’ve played in on a personal note and I’m sure it will make the occasion seem even more special for the lads travelling up as a team and hopefully a coach full of fans.
