Andy Davies was delighted to see St Neots Town claim a point at Frome Town despite seeing his team pegged back.
Saints took the lead through Declan Rogers after good work by Mickey Hyem and James Hall, and they could have scored more.
Hosts Frome made Saints pay for those missed chances and equalised through Jonathan Davies in the 85th minute.
Saints boss Davies still saw the result as a point gained and was happy with the performance.
He said: "We were very good and should have gone more than 1-0 up. But we didn't take our chances and we came under more pressure. They went back to front without any intention of playing any kind of football."
Frome equalised in the second half but St Neots held on for a useful point.
"The players responded really well," continued Davies. "It was disappointing not to get all three points, but if you'd offered me a draw before the game I would have taken it."
Davies also revealed that all five players sent off during the FA Trophy tie with Marine – Sam Mulready and Nassim L'Ghoul on Saturday and Tom Wood, Miles Smith and Tom Ward in the replay – have been fined two weeks' wages.
He also said that Tom Ward has been stripped of the captaincy, a role that has been passed on to Hyem.
