Soft goals are costing us - Millen

Bristol City boss Keith Millen warned his side must stop conceding soft goals after they were beaten 3-1 by Portsmouth. A Jon Stead strike equalised a John Utaka effort but Pompey secured the win through Aaron Mokoena and Hayden Mullins. Millen said: "We were solid, we worked hard and we were organised. But we knew John Utaka likes to come inside on his right foot and shoot, but we let him do that from a throw-in, which is disappointing. "The second goal came straight from a corner where Aaron Mokoena got across us. We've got a soft side to us and it's costing us at the moment. We've got to toughen up - we have to toughen up. "We're too inconsistent, but there were a lot of positives as well. There were some really good individual performances and we created loads of chances. They're the positives we've got to cling on to. "Steven Caulker was terrific. I thought Albert Adomah was terrific and it was great for Jon Stead to get his first goal."
