King’s Lynn Town boss Adam Lakeland felt his side deserved more than a point from the goalless draw against Leamington at The Walks.The Linnets dominated for long periods of the second half but were kept at bay by the post and some fine goalkeeping during an entertaining encounter between the two sides.Speaking after the game, Lakeland said: “I thought we were excellent in the second half.“I thought we played really well, the better team, came really close to scoring.“Fin (Barnes) has obviously hit the post around about the hour mark if memory serves me right.”The keeper’s made an unbelievable save off Macca (Kyle McFadden) – probably should have scored, me being really critical, but it’s a top-drawer save.”Then I think we’ve had a header cleared off the line off a corner and we’ve had another one blocked on the line off the corner, but then they’ve come close right at the end and Pat (Boyes) has made a big save, but there were bodies everywhere. “I thought first half they certainly threatened our goal more than we did theirs, but nothing of note that I can remember on target, one that flashed wide off a break from our corner. “I just felt that they played second ball better than us first half, second ball landed on more, had a bit more territory, played too much of the game in our half for my liking.“But second half we were miles, I thought we looked like a really good side second half and there’s obviously that element of frustration that we’ve not won it, but you if can’t win, don’t lose.”It’s another clean sheet, it’s another point and you’ve just got to take the positives.”Despite extending their unbeaten sequence to five games, the Linnets drop a place to fifth in the league standings ahead of difficult trips to Spennymoor (Tuesday) and Chorley (Saturday) in the next week.
