Following a game of few chances at the County Ground, he said: “I am pleased with the point. It could have been three but we showed good resolve and it was a good response from the other night. I knew we would get that – we have honest lads, we just had a few aberrations the other night and moments of madness.

“So to travel all the way here and dig in like we did just showed the lads want to do it right.

“People were putting the miles in. That’s what we wanted more than anything.”

Weaver said the performance represented what he wanted his team to be about.

He said: “We’re a team and we were hurt the other night – I was hurt. And I thought that today was a fair reflection of the personality of the group. I couldn’t ask for any more.”
