Fleetwood boss Charlie Adam feels Accrington draw a good point for his side

Fleetwood’s manager, Charlie Adam, praised his team’s performance after they rallied from a goal behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Accrington at home.

Adam’s team lost to a cross from Sonny Aljofree in the first half, but they rallied to win a draw through a header from Ryan Broom.

Adam stated: “I’m pleased enough that the guys responded throughout the second period. We made those adjustments at halftime because we were too tired and not moving the ball in the first half, and they were ultimately what allowed us to resume play.

We put up a strong fight, pushed back against Accrington, and won the goal. Ultimately, it’s a valid point.

“A point earned while in a losing situation.

“It gives us some momentum after back-to-back losses, and it gives us a positive heading into Saturday.” “The better side’s second half finish was encouraging.”

Adam wanted to emphasize that his side is still developing.

“We are working hard and today we had to show a different side to us,” he continued, adding that we are taking our time and may have started a little slowly. Playing around teams isn’t enough all the time.

“I’m really happy with that aspect of our game and how we responded to falling behind in what was a subpar first half from us because we adjusted and got in their faces.”

Accrington boss John Doolan felt his side should have left Highbury with all three points from the game.

He said: “We should have been out of sight at half-time, it’s as simple as that. We should’ve won the game but the game doesn’t finish at half-time. We play for 90 minutes and if we don’t do that then we can’t expect to turn performances into results.

You have to sustain as much high press as you can, we didn’t stop them in the wide areas and the centre of the area and stop their crosses and ultimately it’s cost us and they’ve got a reward of a point.”

Doolan also suggested his team must get better at using the ball to take advantage when they are on top in games.

He added: “We didn’t take enough advantage again in terms of the way we use the ball when we have it. We have to learn to pass it better and particularly in the second half we didn’t do enough with it. We have to win it and play into wide areas where we can hurt them and we aren’t doing enough of that.”
