BondKevin Bond was pleased with the number of chances his side created and of Franck Songo'o's debut, but admitted the team can'tcontinue to gift the opposition goals.

Here is what Kevin had to say following the defeat against Rotherham.

 


"We've fallen asleep when we think they're going to put the ball out of play when Marcus went down. We were waiting for ref to blow up and can't be doing that. Their guy ran best past of 40 yards with nobody near him which is disappointing, we need to be professional in those situations.

"If you're going to concede cheap easy goals it's always going to be difficult. We gave them something to sit onto. We created half a dozen decent opportunities, but we're always going to give ourselves a mountain to climb defending like we did

"We gave them more space than I'd have liked. We could do with getting the ball down and keeping it a bit better. We gave ourselves a big lift getting back into the game, but it knocks us flat when they go up the other end and score twice. They could sit deep and soak up our pressure.

"Steven Foley could have scored as could Danny Hollands and that might have given them something to worry about, but we didn't and it was always an uphill task in the second half.

"Franck Songo'o did well. They doubled up on him and made it difficult. He showed glimpses of the exciting player he is and he'll hurt teams if he can get the ball in the right areas. He just needs to adjust and get used to the players around him and he'll do a good job for us."
