Bantams boss content with point
The Bantams had the better of a scrappy first-half at Valley Parade, with Michael Boulding testing Dean Gerken and Peter Thorne hitting the bar.[LNB]However, the visitors, who hadn't played for 17 days due to a raft of postponements, improved after the interval and almost snatched all three points late on as Pawel Abbott and substitute Liam Hatch came close.[LNB]"It wasn't a great spectacle but we said before the game that it would be a really hard battle," McCall said. "There was talk of Darlington being rusty (because of the postponements) but they are always going to be hungry and up for it.[LNB]"In the first half, we probably had the edge in terms of chances. Boulding was one-on-one with the keeper, we hit the bar and had a few dangerous set-pieces.[LNB]"But in the second half, as I expected, they got stronger. We naturally tired a little bit but I thought we defended magnificently. Rhys (Evans) only had one save to make, which was a terrific save, and all in all I thought it was a terrific point."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
