IF he said it once, he must have repeated himself half adozen times. In a post-match interview which lasted less than 90 seconds, Peterborough United manager Keith Alexander clearly had few complaints after watching his side maintain their unbeaten start to the season with a 0-0 draw against Wrexham at the Racecourse.
"It's a difficult place to come, they are a good team and I'm delighted with a point," he claimed.
And in a slight variation on his theme, he went on: "I've got no complaints, we kept a clean sheet against a side who put three past Grimsby in the week, so I was more than satisfied with the draw.
"It was an excellent point." It was an opinion also shared by Alexander's Racecourse counterpart, Denis Smith, and one with which most neutral observers could agree - the dearth of goals the only disappointment during afascinating contest between two teams harbouring hopes of promotion in nine months time.
For the Dragons, whose start to the campaign could not have been tougher, there was the satisfaction of extending their own unbeaten beginning - albeit with two fewer points to show for it than their opponents - but there was also an undercurrent of regret over Chris Llewellyn's failure to convert the best chance of the match early in the second half.
For the second time in eight days, the former Welsh international's effort struck the frame of the goal, the width of the crossbar reflecting the difference between ahard-earned share of the spoils and the three points that would have put an extra spring in the players' steps as they turn their thoughts towards a cross-border derby date with Chester City next weekend.
It was the only blemish on an otherwise typically whole-hearted display from Llewellyn who, with fellow striker Neil Roberts, chased down every ball and harried the experienced United defenders from start to finish.
And their effort was mirrored throughout the team, Danny Williams and Matt Crowell working hard in midfield to ensure plenty of possession and a solid defensive back line helping to register another clean sheet - much to Smith's satisfaction.
It was achieved at a cost, though, Roberts finishing the game with a broken nose that was seemingly the most serious of the injuries also sustained by Dennis Lawrence and midfield pair Williams and Mark Jones, whose back strain prompted an immediate withdrawal from the Wales under-21 squad in action against Israel on Wednesday night.
But the injured quartet are all expected to be fit for next Sunday, as is Darren Ferguson, whose guile and influence might have made the difference in a match not over-blessed with the sort of quality the veteran play-maker has at his disposal.
Nevertheless there was no shortage of incident on an afternoon when a gusting wind did neither side any favours as they traded punch and counter-punch like
like two heavyweight boxers in a ring - determined to go the distance.
Ingham produced an early save down to his left to keep out Jamie Day's free-kick before Jones gave United keeper Mark
Tyler a more comfortable introduction to the action, failing to connect properly with his shot from the edge of the area.
Then there was genuine promise in a sustained passing sequence involving Simon
Spender, Jones and Llewellyn to create a half-chance for
Roberts, whose attempted lob over Tyler just failed to come off.
But the Dragons were almost caught out by a short corner, Richard
Butcher's cross finding Guy Bran-ston, who was unable to keep his header down, a decent chance followed in short order by a break from Danny Crow, whose shot was parried by Ingham.
The visitors squandered an even more inviting opportunity two minutes into the second half when Dean Holden headed wide of Ingham's goal, but the deadlock should have been broken in the 54th minute when Barnston's error was seized upon by Roberts, whose pass put Llewellyn clear.
The striker had it all to do under pressure from Chris Plummer.
And he struck his shot possibly too well as it ricocheted off the woodwork.
Two minutes later it was Williams' turn to be denied.
This time, Tyler made an excellent save from the midfielder, yet as the game wore on both sides seemed determined to protect what they had.
True, there were goalmouth scrambles at both ends to keep the fans on the edge of their seats right to the end.
But a late winner for either side would have represented rough justice indeed on a high-octane afternoon when nobody could be in doubt that the players involved earned their wages.
