“It’s not as a result of I would like us to have 50 or 60 passes. It’s as a result of I would like us to carry out higher. In the second half we’ve created very, little or no and we’ve not applied our identification on the sport.
“I simply see issues very otherwise. I’m very efficiency and course of based mostly. I’m not dissatisfied with three factors – in fact I’m not. I really feel my job is to not recover from emotional whether or not we win, draw or lose. My job is to ensure they’re truthfully reflecting, so we are able to kick on as a soccer membership.
“We haven’t gained two video games on the spin all season. That’s solely going to come back if we replicate the place we are able to get higher. There are numerous issues we’ve acquired to do higher – based mostly on right this moment’s efficiency. If you went again to final weekend it was a very good efficiency [against Charlton] however we solely acquired a draw. We dropped our requirements right this moment.”
Tzanev dived to his left to push away Hoskins’ penalty.

Pigott netted his sixteenth purpose of the season.
Robinson mentioned: “His performances have been wonderful. He was actually good final week. Forwards are at all times judged on their targets. It was good it was scruffy in some methods, as a result of we haven’t actually scored targets like that. I’ve been actually, actually happy along with his performances – so it’s not an issue.”
