The Eagles were the team on top in West Yorkshire and enjoyed a flurry of early second-half chances, but even though they were ultimately unable to convert them, were still good value for their point on the day.
“It's a good point to make a clean sheet,” Sage explained. “But it would be a better point if we won this game because I think we created some chances too.
“That's why we have to analyse this clean sheet, not only in the way to defend, but in the way to attack. We created some chances without scoring, and I think altogether it's a good point.
“We didn't [previously] concede too many goals in transition, we took goals when we were low and with crosses and from bad defending the penalty box – and today it was better for that. That's why it's not only about the balance, it's about how we defend when we are low, and I think we did it better today.”
