We deserved the win but got lucky - Warne

Last updated : 06 February 2022 By Millersmad

“I thought we were the better side and created the most chances. We just needed a second goal to make it more comfortable.

“Obviously we didn’t get that and then we gave away a penalty and had our captain sent off and then everything changed. I think it's the luckiest 10 minutes I've ever spent stood in the dugout.

 "It would have been a lot nicer had Wilesey (Ben Wiles) scored on the counter (in the second added minute). Two-nil would have been a lot nicer but it's not my players' fault what's happened, they've given their job lot - two centre-halves down, my centre-forward playing at the back. From the lads' point of view, I don't think we could have done a lot more to try and win it." 

"Three wins in a week is impressive in any division, We haven't conceded in those three games and we've been pretty resolute.

"We were the better team against Accrington but we rode our luck. It's nice to be at the top."

"We've had really late goals against us in my five years, really unluckiness - I remember Angus (MacDonald's red card) against Norwich, a deflected goal and all that, whereas today I was thinking, 'The net's going to go in a minute,'" said Warne.

"At one point I admit I thought I'd take a point we were so under the cosh but for some reason we lived a charmed life.
