Evans reaction from the Stockport draw

Last updated : 05 January 2025 By Millersmad

"Stockport are a good side, the best we’ve played since Birmingham City. They started better than us and gave us problems for 15 minutes while we were still sorting ourselves out. We looked for a reaction and got one."

“It was a good reaction from the boys, scoring as quickly as we did after conceding.”

Evans spoke about the late penalty claim from JCH.

“I am talking to you with the benefit of seeing it back,” Evans said.

“We get to 97 minutes and if that's not a penalty on Clarke-Harris we might as well give up the game.

“Jonno's got his body between man and ball. The ball doesn't move and he gets a push in the back. The referee is in a great position to see it.”

“If there was a disappointing aspect for us it was that we didn’t create in the final third," Evans said. "Credit to our back five, I thought they stood up and did their job.

"One of the things I said to the players at the end was: 'If we get that same effort and resolve and get some quality around it, that will be a good formula.'"
