Match Reaction: Clarke Frustrated as Walsall Draw With Bradford City

The Saddlers boss spoke to members of the local media following his side's one-all draw with Bradford City.
Walsall manager Darrell Clarke admitted to being frustrated as his side let slip a lead to take a just point from Tuesday evening's awayday trip to West Yorkshire.

On-loan Bristol City defender George Nurse, who was making his eighth appearance of the season, put the Saddlers into the lead midway through the first-half with a well-taken twenty-five yard thunderbolt.

However, home side Bradford City were ultimately able to grab a goal and a point of their own as Saddlers stopper Liam Roberts gave away a penalty to allow substitute Billy Clarke to level the score.

Clarke, who has guided his side through an unbeaten start to their 2020/21 League Two campaign, believes the Reds did enough to win the game but paid the price for the 'keeper's individual error.

Speaking to the assembled media, Darrell said; "I’m frustrated to be honest with you, it should be three points.
 
"We come to Bradford, who have lost one game in a calendar year, and you know you’ll be put under pressure in the second-half, and we’ve defended our box superbly.
 
"We haven’t done enough at the top end of the pitch, a little bit slack in possession, but you know they’re going to come at you and I thought we were resolute.
 
"Defended really well as a team. It’s an individual error for the penalty and that’s cost us the three points at the end of the day.
 
"We like to play the pressing game but give Bradford a bit of credit, they’re unbeaten for a long time here, and they’re always going to ask you questions."
