Defending was the key - Robbo

Speaking to the assembled press at the post match press conference, Robins said,"The first half i thought was a little scrappy and we kept it tight. They didn't cause us that many problems in the first half it was difficult to defend against their set pieces, they've obviously worked hard on those, but we defended stoutly all night and from that you've always got a chance."

"The second half performance was a lot better, we spoke at half time about being more confident and putting the passes into the right areas, and they went out and did that and for part of it we started to play a bit and it looked like the belief was starting to come back in to the game, so that's really pleasing and the most pleasing (apart from the three points) thing to come out of the game."

"Second half we were resiliant, there was a bit of an onslaught towards the end when we were tiring a little bit, but we put a lot into it the first half, we deserved to win and could have had one or two more goals if luck had been with us but overall I think we deserved it."

Robbo was then asked about what looked like a cert penalty for a foul on Chris O'Grady, "You've seen them given haven't you!" was his reply.

"Chris has gone on a great run in the corner, we wanted him to just hold it but he's got a bit of space, he's cut inside and youve seen penaltys given for challenges like it, but the referee said it wasn't and I'm just pleased with the three points. It was a decent second half performance."

Robbo then went on to speak about O'Grady. "I think Chris has got a decent future, I've watched him but been a bit hesitant to put him in. I've just spoke to him and worked with him in training to try and get him to work towards the goal a bit more and when he does that he's frightening, and tonight showed that. If he keeps doing that he will be a good player for us."

"I thought we had to shore up the midfield a bit and not let people running off us as easily, there were times in the game they're going to do that but as long as we pass them off onto defenders and theres people there to pick up the runners then thats half the battle."

"It's fantastic we're off the bottom and you look at the next game, Bournemouth on Saturday another tough game, they'll come and pass it, they will be well organised and it will be a tough test on the back of a midweek game, but this game will have given us a little bit more practise and hopefully a bit more belief."

Robins was then again asked about the manager vacancy at Millmoor, he must be starting to get sick of it by now, "I'll just keep going and see what happens. I'll do the job to the best of my ability and try and help the lads. The pleasing aspect is that they are starting to get that belief."

"Ian Sharps and Craig Fleming looked outstanding and I think the 2 lads on the sides have been doing really well. When you see Che (Wilson) gets match fit he will be a good aquisition."

"David Worrell on Saturday had his best performance and his confidence is up. Defensively we're looking ok although we're still dropping a little bit deep and its a bit worrying at times but I know at certain times of the game you get stretched a bit and thats going to happen but as long as we come back with them and we're picking them up and they're not having shots we're got a chance. The confidence is starting to come back."

Robbo was then told a startling fact, that tonights clean sheet was the first at Millmoor since October 14th. "It's frightening isnt it, its a frightening statistic. But it's something to build on but we're not going to get carried away with it, we're still deep in the mire but we can look at the next game with a bit more confidence."
