On the right track

ATHLETIC assistant boss Tommy Wright admitted players and management were frustrated after their goalless draw at stuttering Notts County.

Manager Lee Johnson was so frustrated he opted out of offering his post-match thoughts.

At least Athletic extended their unbeaten run to six games in league and cup, but Wright clearly felt two points had gone begging.

"There were a lot of pleasing things throughout the game, particularly in the first half,” he said.

"But the most vital component in football is putting the ball in the back of the net, and we've not done that.

"We're on the right track. We're frustrated at this moment that we didn’t get the three points. But we can take credit from the performance.”
