Speaking to the BBC after the game, Dearden said "(Nathan) Arnold is learning his trade and he want's t learn, the goal will give him a lot of confidence."
"I'm pleased for him, I've got a lot of time for him."
"(The Point) was fully deserved, with what we have had to put up with today. Martin Gritton and Micky Boulding picked up a bug earlier today, and didn't feel 100%, but we took a gamble on them and it came off, as well as the substitutions."
"We had a lot of chances, they had a lot of play and passed it around in the middle of the park, but I thought we had more chances than then and fully deserved a point."
