The Wednesday loanee popped up in added time to get his first goal back in blue and white, cancelling out Joe Lolley’s goal to get what many would describe as a well-deserved point for the hosts.

Lamouchi, who just signed a new contract with the Reds, will now be putting his side to work as they seek to cut out their mistakes.

Speaking after the game, he said: “In the first half we missed patience and made some mistakes. But it was much better in the second half. It was a fantastic goal from Lolley and when you look like getting a result until a few minutes from the end of the game, you are disappointed.

“We are disappointed at the end because it is not easy to score first here. It is not easy to keep the result here… But after three months, it is logical what happened here. We just need to work for next week and give more importance to the small details.

“After three or four games, I think we will be much better… I’m disappointed for the players… To run and to fight, like they did today, of course it would be much better with three points, but it is like that."
