United Club Captain Brian Saah spoke to cambridgeunited.com reporter Dave Gray following the U's frustrating 0-0 draw with Southport at the R Costings Abbey Stadium on Saturday. His comments are below.
"Frustrating sums it up perfectly, frustrated with the game itself and the result. How hard the lads worked, we deserved nothing less than all three points as a defender a clean sheet is always good but it means nothing when we haven't got the win.
"We made a great opening to the game. They were up against it from the first whistle and we needed to just push on and get the first goal and they would have folded but they countered that by slowing the game down every chance they got and we were left with very little to build on.
"We've seen teams sit back like this against us before but I did feel today we did break them down and it was just luck that stopped us getting a goal. Two shots have hit the bar and we looked threatening throughout creating countless chances and that does mean we can take positives from the game even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment.
"Games come thick and fast at this time of the year, so Tamworth on Tuesday will be our chance to turn around the results so far and get the three points the performances have merited.
"Even though we lost at Wrexham we deserved something out of that game and take out the first ten minutes against Crawley we were more of a match for them. Today we were on top of the game from kick off and were just unlucky not to collect the three points. I don't want to be talking about being frustrated at the end of Tuesdays game, so we will all keep positive and hopefully get the result on Tuesday that our performances so far this season have deserved."
