Robins - Players to take responsibility

Last updated : 03 October 2007 By Deano
Robbo's men now face a critical game against bottom club Mansfield Town at Millmoor this weekend - and last nights' point sees only two wins from a possible nine after the start to the new season.

Speaking to the official club website, the manager clearly recognises the fans frustrations and that performances are not good enough of late.

"It was a case of two points dropped after we had been 1-0 up and we had more chances to have won the game", said Robins.

"We hit the post with a great free kick from Steve Brogan whilst we had some good balls into their penalty area without sticking any away. Their goal was a great ball in and it's very difficult to defend against and they put it in the net.

"In the second half we couldn't move on and that's something we have to build on. Our second half didn't match our first and we put ourselves under pressure at times because no one wants to take the responsibility out there and that's something that has to change.

"The referee was poor. He got things wrong like the free kick for their goal when Gritton's elbows were all over the place and Ian Sharps' legs are black and blue from challenges. Decisions are going against us as the moment but i can;t blame that too much as we have ourselves to blame.

"The good thing is we got an away point but we have to be better, it's not attractive to watch at the moment. We need to take the maximum points from Mansfield on Saturday and cheer the supporters up - we can sense they are not happy.

"We have to find out aswell what our best and most productive partnership is upfront. We have to be better."
