TAUNDRY PRAISES FIGHTING SPIRIT

Posted on: Mon 05 Apr 2010

RICHARD Taundry has praised The Saddlers' fighting spirit after they battled back to draw 1-1 against Stockport at the weekend, despite playing for over 70 minutes with ten men.

Troy Deeney was sent off after just 18 minutes at Edgeley Park for a deliberate handball. That led to former Saddlers striker, Jabo Ibehre dispatching a penalty to give County the lead.

It's the fourth time in six games that we've been reduced to ten men but Taundry, who suffered a mild concussion during the game, says coming back to claim a point shows the spirit in the side: "It's always difficult when you go down to ten men," he said. "But then you find out that the team is strong enough to pull together, so I thought we did well to get back into the game.

"We showed a lot of heart, grit and determination and produced another point. Whenever you get a man sent off it makes it all the worse, so I think we showed a lot of fight and all stuck together and got the job done."

Despite receiving a knock to the head, the hard-working midfielder is hopeful of being fit for today's game against a Wycombe Wanderers side who are desperate for the points to aid their battle against the drop.

Saddlers Player will be broadcasting full match coverage from 2.35pm with Steve Hermon and Mick Kearns.
