SALFORD City coach Warren Joyce felt his side deserved more than a point at Southend United.
Salford, who sit ninth in the League Two standings, were held to a 0-0 draw at Roots Hall.
But Joyce thought Salford should have won after enjoying more of the ball in the second half.
“You can’t fault the lads’ effort and drive to win the game but we’re obviously we’re disappointed only getting a point because we felt we deserved all three,” said Joyce.
“We had the better chances but Southend are coming off the back of a good win at Forest Green in the week.
“We had a hell of a journey here, it took seven and a half hours, and in the first half we looked like that because the sharpness wasn’t there.
“The second half was better and the pitch was the same for both sides.
“It’s a lively surface and if you didn’t get to the first contact it was bouncing up like a trampoline.
“But it’s another point and every single point counts.”
