Score-line And Clean Sheet The Main Thing - Heckingbottom

Last updated : 18 January 2016 By CNS Staff

Barnsley U21 boss Paul Heckingbottom thought the score-line and clean sheet were the main thing to take from his side's 3-0 win over Coventry City yesterday.

“It was good in terms of the win as three goals and a clean sheet is very good," he said to Barnsley's club website. "We do go on about winning, we need to win and the lads worked hard and showed good discipline.

“We do have to be better with the ball though as we’re trying to make League One players minimum. I’ve said we need to focus on that to the lads.
 
“We focus a lot on organisation and commitment to win the game at any level. We stress that they need to be committed in tackles and play with intensity.
 
“George Maris has had a great second half, we moved him to a bit more central role with half an hour to go and he’s scored a top goal. When we needed a bit more possession he’s the one we looked at to do that and he did.
 
“I think they’ve only had two shots on target all game so that’s a testament to us and the organisation we had on show. 
 
“The score-line and the clean sheet are the main positives, but we’ll always look to get better.”
