Adams: Valiants deserved a draw

Vale defended valiantly against the League Two leaders, and could even have stolen the spoils had Craig Dawson's late shove in the back against striker Lewis Haldane been ruled a penalty.Adams, however, was satisfied with a point that leaves his side in 13th and six points away from the play-off places."Rochdale are top of league and flying, beating everyone in their wake, so we had to dig in for a point," he said."We were well aware it was going to be a very difficult test for us defensively."I was a little bit disappointed with our attacking play but we had some very good performances and we knew Chris Martin was going to have to make some saves, and that proved to be the case."
