I was disappointed with us today," boss Billy Dearden told the Mansfield CHAD after the 1=1 draw.

"I thought we did enough to get all three points but maybe the performance didn't justify all three.

"I thought we huffed and puffed but didn't play as well as we can and I didn't think we made the best use of the extra man against 10 men.

"Having said that, we still had all the best chances and enough to win it.

"I changed it round at half time and got Alex John-Baptiste down the right where he worked well with Matt Hamshaw and Matt put some good crosses in which we got on the end of but couldn't get on target.

"The players feel like we've lost the game but must get their heads up and get on with it.

"We gave them a goal which I was disappointed with as Asamoah got between two central defenders. But Simon's was a good header from a good cross for the equaliser.

"We haven't let ourselves down but we can play better than that."
