As a defender, you pride yourself on keeping clean sheets and we managed to do that last night."

The 23-year-old hailed the solidity within the side, but admits there can be a degree of frustration at not managing to score for a second consecutive game.
*
He said, “It was a tough game, both teams matched each other for work rate and quality on the night. It was a game of little chances and I think it was a fair result.
*
“As a defender, you pride yourself on keeping clean sheets and we managed to do that last night.
*
“I think we defended well overall as a team but we just lacked a little bit of quality all over the pitch; not just the forwards or the wide men, but from all of us.
*
“Myself, and the back four were sometimes a bit sloppy on the ball and we take that responsibility as a team.
*
“But we’ve got to give credit to them [Sheffield Wednesday]. They defended very well, were organised and did what they came here to do.”
