Stuart Gray says too many injuries led to a frustrating afternoon drawing 0-0 with Millwall.
Gray said: "It was a very frustrating afternoon but we have had to patch the team up a bit.

"We have far too many players in the treatment room at the moment and Danny Jackman, Colin Larkin and Leon Constantine all failed fitness tests and that li
mited our options for this game, particularly up front.

"We gave it a go but we just lacked that bit of quality in the final third of the pitch in the second half.

"We had a few balls flashing across the face of the goal but no one to get on the end of them and we were on our heels too many times, rather than anticipating where the ball would go.

"Millwall came here and made it difficult for us but I thought defensively we coped with their threat well enough and both keepers had reasonably quiet afternoons. I thought Joe Benjamin might give us a spark at the end but in the end the game just fizzled out.

"Bayo went out there and battled hard for us. We had to change our shape with the personnel we had but had we been a bit brighter in thought we might just have got in.

"It was a day for the players to lift the crowd but in the end it was a bit of a nothing game and while we wanted all three points, if you can't take three you at least make sure you don't lose and at least we took a point."
