Reds boss encouraged by display

Edmondson is looking to secure a number of his players on new contracts

Workington Reds' boss Darren Edmondson believes his side will take plenty of positives from Tuesday night's 1-1 draw against Droylsden.

Gareth Arnison's spot-kick gave the Reds a share of the points at Borough Park, while goalkeeper Adam Collin also saved a second-half penalty.

"We were pretty comfortable with everything they through at us." Edmondson told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"We've got to take all positives from the game."

The point leaves the Borough Park club in 16th place in Blue Square North.

On-loan Bury winger Jack Dorney made his full debut after a number of substitute appearances in recent games.

"I don't think he was over-awed because he's played for Bury's first-team," Edmondson said.

"He's got a great left-foot and a great attitude on him. Hopefully we will be able to keep him again but I'm not 100% certain about that.

"These lads that come along want to play football and they're not so that might be a stumbling block when I talk to them again later this week."

Edmondson will now look to tie-up several of his first-team squad to the club for next season.

"It's at this time now that we've got to try and secure people," he said.

"I'm hoping that we will get Johnny (Wright) to sign this week on a contract and then we will begin again."
