Blues manager Alan Reynolds says it was important to come away with at least a point on the back of three losses in a row.

"I am not saying that I am thrilled with it (the draw) but it stops the rot in a sense, and we must build on that. We were the better side I felt. Even before the sending off at the end we were putting them under a lot of pressure. It's just disappointed that we didn't get the win."
