With Crawley looking to register three away wins on the spin for the first time since 2011, Drummy was a little frustrated not to take all three points but pleased with his side's overall efforts.
He said: "It was a tough game and they had a lot of play in the second half. We didn't keep the press up that we had in the first 45 minutes.

The first cross has come in and the guy has scored a worldie, then the second that came in was misjudged. "You've got to stop the crosses, that's what you want as a coach, but the spirit, attitude and effort was super from the boys. I wanted three points but I'll come away from the game pleased that we are slowly improving."
Crawley took a travelling contingent of 259 to The Hive Stadium and they were in fine voice throughout.
Drummy felt the reception his players' received at the end showed how well they played on the day.
