Speaking to BBC Radio Tees, he stated, “I was pleased with the boys’ character and commitment and belief to keep pegging it back second half like we did,” He added, “I thought we were the better team second half, but first half we weren’t at our best.” Carrick further commented, “You can’t concede that many opportunities and goals and expect to win games every week.” He concluded by saying, “[With] the attacking play and opportunities we maybe could have scored more, but we just gave ourselves too much to do really.”
