Robins also felt there was a foul in the build-up to Shrewsbury’s winner but feels his team should have reacted quicker once the referee had made his decision.
Robins said: “It’s a disappointing result. First half we did okay, but we didn’t get a foothold in the game in the second half.
“We gave the ball away in poor areas and we looked tired and understandably so. There are no excuses, we just didn’t control the game well enough.
“We didn’t look like we were going to throw it away necessarily, I thought we might even score.”
“It was undoubtedly a foul on Callum O’Hare in the corner, but you have to deal with that decision and get back.
“We were committing more bodies forward and ended up getting sucker punched at the end.
“We weren’t good enough today and we haven’t said that except for the game at Rotherham this season.”
Having defeated Ipswich Town in the Emirates FA Cup in mid-week, Robins acknowledged that Shrewsbury looked the fresher of the two sides.
“They were fresh and had time to work on things in the week and that’s fair play. If you’ve got any slight advantage you try and make it count for yourself.
“I’ll look inwardly as well, I could have made changes earlier but ultimately, we needed to get a foothold in the game and that gives you an inkling to make a change for the better.
“We were okay, but we didn’t have that quality on the ball which didn’t give us the chance to get out and the decision-making was poor.”
Robins wants his team to learn from this defeat and hopes to get back to winning ways next Saturday against Lincoln City.
“We have to learn from this and move forward from it as you do with every defeat, I’m not going to be overly critical.
“We don’t want to lose games like that, and it needs to be a one-off and then get back on it, work next week, and try and get a win next Saturday.”
Do you mean our @Grendel ? Can’t score mate ?Need a decent striker Grendel can’t score for toffee let’s bring 2 people on in the 93rd min after playing defensive after we scored.
Eakin thinks we are playing Ipswich still, Oggy is still too guarded of his old mukka Robins and every fooker who rings up starts by saying “how are you” Jesus wept talk about football ffs!
And put orca as wing back, he can make up a lot of space but doesn't really achieve anything by it.I'm quite new to this forum but even I have realised that you need to deploy grendel as the right winger and give nick the freedom to go and break the legs of their best player.
Exactly,pathetic comments...how many times have we been here questioning tactics after results like that yesterdayMR said the midweek game done for us. So why didn’t he use his subs earlier if he knew the players were tired? I suppose we also should all be asking, if he knew tiredness was going to be an issue why did he go with the same starting eleven?
It’s nothing to do with what he’s said he will achieve. This is why people get so pissed of - because we know the squad are capable of promotion because we’ve seen how they can play. It’s the tactical stuff letting the side downThis is the problem with coming out and saying you're going for promotion. When things don't go too well, you look like a fool. Actually, things are going okay. Not great, not badly, just okay. But this is only our second season back at this level. Perhaps we're expecting too much. We've changed our style of football, and both the players and manager are still learning. On a personal note, I've been working on the assumption that this season sets the groundwork for a proper promotion push next season, so I'm not overly worried, but I would expect things to improve as the season goes on and lessons are learnt.
Add a forward we are certainly capable if we don’t make play offs you have to feel we’ve missed a huge opportunity probably the best since being in league 1 my worry is as you say the tactics side,even at 1-1 Shrewsbury made changes to win the game we didn’t a team win apparently chasing promotionIt’s nothing to do with what he’s said he will achieve. This is why people get so pissed of - because we know the squad are capable of promotion because we’ve seen how they can play. It’s the tactical stuff letting the side down
