DESPITE watching his side go down 1-0 at home to Whitby on Easter Monday, Radcliffe Boro boss Kevin Glendon preferred to concentrate on the many positives he took from the game.

"I thought we limited them to very few chances, in fact 'Johnno' can't think of a single save he had to make," he said.

"Their goalkeeper on the other hand had to make quite a few, so I was pleased with the overall performance, and the least we should have come away with was a 0-0 draw.

"Steve Foster and Ciaran Kilheeney caused them all kinds of problems, and right through the team we showed spirit and played good football.

"At the back Darren Royle has settled in nicely, and in midfield Craig Fleury is improving every game.

"Over Easter we did well against two teams in Burscough and Whitby, they are both in the play-off places on merit, although I don't think there's anything between them and us.

"We certainly showed more enterprise than Whitby when we beat them 2-0 than they showed here to scrape a 1-0 win; that tells you a lot about the two teams and the footballing philosophy of the two managers, but they are not creative, they are very much a spoiling side.

"We worked hard, kept a nice shape, looked disciplined, created good chances and had good efforts on goal.

"But one lapse in decision making proved the difference, their goal should never have happened, the danger should have been cleared.

"If they were that good a side they would have gone for the jugular and would have tried to kill us off at 2-0, but they didn't.

"Before that we beat Burscough handsomely at their place, so we are not that far off where we need to be.

"Who knows, if we hadn't suffered the injuries we have we may have been where they are."
