Substitute Luke Berry scored a dramatic late equaliser as the points were shared in a tense Championship play-off battle.

Assessing the performance during his post-match interview with BBC Three Counties Radio, Edwards said: “I said to the lads because they’re a bit flat in the dressing room, to pick their heads up and say come on, that’s a really good point.

“Give a team like that, who are very well drilled and really well structured a two-goal head start and if someone offered me a 2-2 draw at the end then I would have taken it, we all would have.

“I’m really proud of the lads for the way they responded,” he continued. “We’re trying to do the right things against a really good team and I think it’s what we deserve at the very least. I’m pleased with the end result.

“I thought we played really well. There was some really good football up until that final bit, that’s always the hardest bit and that’s what we talk about. There was a few that flashed across and we didn’t quite get on the end of it, we huffed and puffed but I thought the actual building and getting to a point was very, very good.

“The response to the setback was great and you would expect that from our lads. They have strong character and they’ve shown a lot of resilience already this season, so I was pleased with the response.”
