NOT quite speechless but Jim Magilton could not believe his side left Hillsborough with just one point.

The Blues boss was delighted with his side after keeping a clean sheet against Sheffield Wednesday and praised the Owls keeper Lee Grant for denying them after he let six in against Reading on Tuesday.

Magilton said: “I'm pleased for him and devastated for us.”

Davis Norris might have snatched a win for Town in the second half when he hooked a shot against the underside of the crossbar and was denied a couple more times by Lee Grant.

“Without a shadow of a doubt we should have had three points. There keeper has made three outstanding saves and we dominated particularly second half.

“We controlled the ball very well and it was a very good, professional display and if we carry on like that we will win more than we lose.”

Marcus Tudgay had the best chances for Wednesday in the first half when he hit the woodwork with one shot that rebounded to safety and headed and good chance over the bar.

Magilton said: “Our sloppiness allowed then in once or twice, Garvan made a sloppy pass that let them in but other than that we were on top.

“Brian Laws' side showed tremendous character after losing in the manner they lose and they dug in so it was probably a point gained for them.

Pablo Counago missed the game after turning an ankle in training but Magilton expects him to be fit for Wednesday as derek.
