Attitude pleasing to Peters

BACUP Borough manager Brent Peters praised the never say die attitude of his players after their 3-3 draw at Chadderton.

Peters’ men trailed 3-1 in the game at one stage, but hit back to earn a point, much to the delight of the Bacup manager.

“I am happy to be leaving here with one point in the bank. It really could have been three points lost, so we must be grateful as that point ensures we are still on an unbeaten run,” said Peters. “We got off to a perfect start by getting ourselves in front, but despite the fact we did take the lead, I was far from happy with our approach play.

“We normally play total football but for some reason in this game certain players kept lumping the ball forward, rather than shortening our game by finding a pass.

“I have said it before and I will say it again now, if our midfield as a unit are not on it, the team will not be on it, and sadly our midfield were not at their best.

“Maybe I should give Chadderton credit by the way they executed their three goals, but in reverse of that and more to the point, my boys just can’t give players that much time or space.

“What I am happy about is the character the boys did show even at 3-1 down, as there was a total belief in them all that we had enough talent in the team to turn this negative into a positive.”
