"I am feeling relieved but also a little disappointed and angry with our performance. We did not start to play until their lad got sent off and that incident just seemed to wake us up, before that we just seemed fast asleep." Robins told themillers.co.uk

"I found it difficult to decide who to change because I couldn't substitute all eleven players. We had to do something at half time so we brought Drewe on and he battled hard and did a good job for us.

"I can't explain why we were so poor to start with. We prepared properly and got the right information but at the end of the day it is eleven versus eleven and it is about who wants it more. We have good quality players at this club but if you don't work you are going to be left standing."

Rueben Ried scored the equiliser for the Millers but more from him is wanted by Robbo; "We could have won it right at the death with Reuben's chance, He told me at the start of the game that he would score twice and he nearly did. You have to look at his performance and say that he didn't give us enough but then he sticks the ball in the net, which is why we keep him on."

Robbo also showed his displeasure of the stick that young striker Ryan Taylor got from some sections of the crowd; "The crowd getting on Ryan Taylor's back does not help, I can understand the supporters' frustrations and I know they are entitled to a view but at the same time we don't want to destroy one of our own. I took him off to protect him and he will need to bounce back from the experience." Robins said.

"Ryan had a good pre-season and for the first three or four games this season he has been sensational. There are certain people who just want to jump on his back from time to time but we need to give him the space to improve." he added.

The gaffer turned his attentions to next weekends basement clash with Luton; "All games in this league are tough, We have Mick Harford coming back with Luton next week and both clubs have had points deducted this season. They have won today whilst we haven't for two games so we will be looking to turn that around."

Omar Garcia is still awaiting his debut as papers are holding up his clearance Robins explained; "We cannot get hold of the Spanish Football Association because we are still waiting on his clearance to play, I would have liked to have used Omar in some capacity today but hopefully we can get hold of somebody on Monday and then get him available for our next game."
