Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson praised Coventry City keeper Joe Murphy for his efforts during the 0-0 draw at Sixfields on Tuesday night.
Parkinson told Simon Parker of the Bradford Telegraph and Argos: “Their keeper has pulled off two of the best saves I’ve seen. The one from Mclean’s header was incredible. But he’s a top goalkeeper and Championship standard.
“But he just clawed it out – it was a fantastic save. Then he pulled off another great one from Jon Stead.
“In those instances, they both did everything right in terms of technique. But sometimes you’ve just got to applaud the goalkeeper.
“After the Walsall game, Bradford City was a low place to be at,” he added. “To then go on our travels and regroup as well as we’ve done, four points is a good return.
“We’re really pleased. We can bemoan our luck and the lads will be disappointed not to get the win but it was important we got the point.
“We should have come away 2-0 or 3-0 winners. But in games like that when you have dominated, you’ve also got to be careful you don’t switch off and end up losing.
“I was pleased that as well as we played going forward, we also concentrated at the back. We had so much play in their half and Jon (McLaughlin) was rarely threatened.
“It summed up the performance when they had a shot in the last 30 seconds of the first half and the whole crowd cheered sarcastically.”
