Speaking to the official site as he met with the media following the game, Harris admitted he was ‘disappointed’ with the manner of the defeat as he felt like we had ‘defended like a League One team’ across the 90 minutes and he was certainly looking for improvement ahead of Stevenage on Tuesday evening.
‘I’m disappointed with the game. Results have no bearing on the League season, but the games are still important. It’s a really poor goal to give away. We’ve defended like a League One team. I won’t accept that.’
Harris continued.
‘Our use of the ball was really poor, especially in the final third. I thought we looked really sloppy and laboured. I’m disappointed with the boys – I have to be honest. Pre-season is difficult. You work at such a high intensity for so many days, it’s hard when it comes to games. The quicker we get into the League season, the better.’
