Robins struggles for positives

08 January 2011 20:00
Barnsley manager Mark Robins said he would find it difficult to seek out the positives, despite an encouraging second-half performance in the 2-0 FA Cup third-round defeat at West Ham. Jonathan Spector finally beat Steele but the Hammers went off the boil after the break and Barnsley hit the bar through Adam Hammill before Frederic Piquionne wrapped up the victory. "Make no mistake, we were second best in the first half but the second half was slightly different. It is symptomatic of our season, where we played well for 45 minutes," he said. "It will be difficult to search for any positives. It could have been comprehensive. The positive was that we only conceded two goals and hit the crossbar."
