Dougie Freedman came away from Teeside looking back on a performance which could have seen his side bringing all three points back south.

"We outplayed them at times and acquitted ourselves well. People leaving the game will be thinking we should have taken three points and I can understand that.

"Performance wise, we played well, although you live or die by your results in this game. But I take heart because if we play like that then we will win more than we lose."

The match was played in poor conditions with snow falling for most of the match but the boss didn't think this had much of an effect on the performance of both teams.

"I don't think the conditions were really a factor. When you play football in this country then you learn how to deal with these conditions."
