"I didn't realise how many we had until the guys showed me and I stopped looking after the first five or six because it was getting me down.
"If we create that many against teams at home between now and the end of the season we should be winning the vast majority of our games.
"Unfortunately tonight was one of those nights and you can't say you deserve the win when you're missing chances."

"It does (feel like a point dropped) because of how dominant we were but we're a point closer," he said.
"It's important with the games cancelled (because of Covid) we pick up points.
"From that respect, it is a good point. From the respect of the performance and the way we tried to drive the tempo of the game, it's good. When a team comes to try and slow the game and hit you on the counter sometimes it's difficult but we created chances. We just weren't good enough to take them."
