The reserves were beaten 1-0 by Man City at the Racecourse ground last night but new reserve team coach Gary Ablett was able to take plenty of positives from the game.

"Overall I thought with the ball we were very good but unfortunately we didn't really create enough in the final third of the field," Ablett told the club's official website.

"It was always going to be a goal from a set piece if they were to score against us and that was all they created to be honest with you.

"Big Jack [Hobbs] was unlucky with a couple of headers but if we play like that and improve in the final third then I will be delighted for the rest of the season."
