Keeper Parish frustrated by loss to Hatters

- SHELDAN KEAY

STANLEY goalkeeper Elliot Parish described it as a ‘sickening’ feeling after his side suffered defeat at Luton Town on Saturday.

The Reds were condemned to a 1-0 loss at Kenilworth Road after Cameron McGeehan got the only goal of the match, and Paris was extremely disappoint­ed to come up short.

“It’s obviously very frustratin­g to go home with nothing,” he told the club’s official website.

“You try to contribute as best you can and when you do contribute better than you might have in other games then it’s nice to be rewarded with points. We’ve not come away with anything so it’s sickening.

“We played really well for half an hour but you know when teams are at home they’re going to have momentum and periods of the game where they go well and they just seemed to be getting a lot of crosses in and a lot of corners. You just have to see that out and we did in the first half.

“Then when you’re conceding that number of crosses and corners the weight of it is that you’ll concede a goal at some point. We let them have far too many opportunit­ies. We’d done well for most of the first half so we were pleased at half time but then you have to deliver again in the second half and go one better. We seemed to be going backwards rather than forwards as a collective. That’s frustratin­g. It would have been a good point for us.”
