MANAGER: WE NEED TO TAKE OUR CHANCES

Posted on: Sun 07 Mar 2010

Micky Adams was not a happy man after his side continued their inconsistent run with a defeat against Northampton Town on Saturday.

"I'm not happy in as much that we have lost another home game and it's becoming increasingly difficult to take, although we are going to have to take it. We need to get over it as quickly as we can as we have another home game on Tuesday.

"We have lost a game of football because of two minutes of madness - the 45th and 46th minutes. That is hard to take. In the second half, we came out and had a go again but people say it's easy to perform when you are losing. There were shocking goals against us.

"There's not a lot you can do is there? The keeper comes it, claims it and then drops it at the feet of the centre forward, who sticks it in. Maybe we could have worked harder at stopping the cross coming in but it happens from time to time - goalkeepers do make mistakes."

However, Micky underlined that there was never a temptation to change the goalkeeper at half-time.

"If you are going to make changes every time you concede a goal, you would end up with nobody on the pitch. Everybody makes mistakes and obviously, as a goalkeeper, you are in the firing line. You just hope they are not critical mistakes. Joe is a strong character and he will get over it.

"We had chances in the second half and their keeper has made two great saves. At least we forced the goalkeeper into saves. Marc Richards had a great chancs and we have to take our chances when they present themselves. We perhaps put ourselves under pressure because we don't put away our chances when they present themselves.

"We will have to sit down and look at it. Bradford will come with their tails up - they have a new manager - but it will be about us again."
