Thornaby Manager Neil Radigan's comments after the match
" Now where do I start feel like a broken record another game where we certainly deserved something out the game and proved that we deserve to mix it with the big boys of this league. The positives are huge but mistakes are costing us but we will keep playing the same way to get where we want to be"
Well good performance and deserved to get a point out of the match its testament to the management team and the players that we feel disappointed coming away from top of the league without a draw first half thought we were excellent second half we played well until Shields took the lead with a goal that we gifted them but the second one was a good ball forward and there striker tapped home. Overall really proud off the performance just disappointed we the result move onto Saturday's game VS Whitehaven which is a must win game. Come on Thornaby!
