Mehmet: “The response was excellent”

Mehmet Ali was pleased with our response to going a goal down in Friday’s 1-1 draw at home to Leeds United.

The away side went ahead in the 32nd minute of the Premier League 2 fixture, but Josh Robinson scored an equaliser for us early in the second half.

“I felt that we controlled large parts and spells of the game, which was good to see,” he said. “We had a different group today because we’ve had a lot of boys go out on loan, which is brilliant for them and something that they need for their development and I was pleasantly surprised with a lot of the second year scholars who played with bravery, good forward intent and it shows a lot of the good work that we’re doing in the PDP and the 18s have been doing because I thought they stepped up to the challenge really well.
