Robins - It was two points dropped

Mark Robins was a frustrated man and that was reflected in his after match comments, as chances wasted at key times cost the Millers a much needed victory, whilst Shrewsbury stretched their winless streak to eight games after the 1-1 draw.

Robins explained to the official club website: "I think it was two points dropped, I thought we played a lot better, something like back to what I am expecting.

"The lads have worked hard all week and we saw the benefits of that today but I still feel we are on heels in front of goal. We could have won the game three or four one, we switched off for the goal we conceded for about three or four seconds in the whole game and it has cost us.

"Having said that we have not lost the game and it gives us a platform for the last ten games. We are on our heels in the box where we had good delivery, we passed the ball better on a tricky surface.

"They have some good players but I thought we controlled the game, certainly in the first half although they got ahead a little in the second half when they changed formation. But I always felt we could create something if we passed the ball a little better.

"When we did that we created things getting down the sides, the strikers didn't get hold of the ball enough in the second half against two physical defenders. The movement wasn't good enough so we still have to work, I keep saying the same things every week and I am getting fed up with that.

"They had a new manager and coming into the game the form of the two teams indicated a draw and that's what we got, it could have been different as they had a new impetus with a new manager coming in.

"That's not to concern me. I was pleased with our goal as I hought it was a good free kick with the execution, we got a decent bounce on the surface and all credit to Pablo as he got round the back.

"I am pleased with the performance as we passed it better but frustrated that we have not won the game and taken the numerous chances we had. We have ten games left so there is a lot of football to play yet and for me it was good to get last week's performance out of the system to get back to something like our best.

"We now go into the Bury game on Tuesday full of hope as we have set the standard again in terms of passing but I would like us to be a bit more ruthless up front. All the players are still full of belief and it's down to them."
