Labadie entered the fray as a second half substitute in the 2-0 defeat on Tuesday night.

It was his first appearance of the season after coming back from a cruciate ligament operation suffered at Port Vale in April last year.

Flynn said: "It was good to see Joss back, it has been a long road back for him and I was glad to be able to give him some minutes.

"You have to try and take positives from what was a negative and when we went 2-0 down it was partly because I thought he might spark something that would get us back in the game.

"That's not to put anything on Joss, I just thought he was ready to come back and did well when he came on, it was good to see him back on the field."
