King's Lynn Town boss Gary Setchell admitted building from the back helped his men hold big-name FC United on Saturday.

The Linnets kept their second home clean sheet in a row to banish memories of miserable defending in recent weeks at The Walks. As a result, the shut-out helped Lynn pick up a spirited point against the outfit that was formed by fed-up Manchester United fans after the Glazer family took control at Old Trafford eight years ago.

Setchell said: 'We've given ourselves a foundation to build from. It's no good losing games 3-2. I won't accept that. We need to be hard to beat.

'It's something we've prided ourselves on over the last two or three years and now we've kept two clean sheets in a row. I thought my centre-halves (Jason Lee and Ryan Fryatt) were excellent as well as my goalkeeper (Alex Street). But the whole team defended from the front. I had 11 defenders out there.'

Street made a couple of fine saves but the hosts had chances of their own in the second half to beat a team who has reached the Evo-Stik Premier Division play-off final in each of the last three seasons.

One player who didn't influence matters after the break was frontman Rob Duffy. He left the pitch after a collision with the visitors' goalkeeper Jon Worsnop.

'I know I've got to bring in one or two players, the squad's very thin,' added Setchell.

'I had to use (Dan) Quigley as a makeshift striker but I thought he was excellent for us. Duffy was in a bad way. His nose was all over his face and he was being sick at half-time with concussion. We'll have to wait and see what's happened. He's just an unlucky player.'
