Post match reaction from the CCS. "Peter Whittingham was outstanding and his work rate was superb," said Dave Jones. "He's also back to scoring again and both free-kicks were superbly taken. His second was pure quality."We had plenty of opportunities to score yet looked a little lazy at the back and perhaps that was because two of our defenders were away on international duty but never played."It was hard when we were 2-0 down but we cleared our heads quickly got back in to the game with Jay Bothroyd's goal and I told them at half-time if we could keep a clean sheet in the second half we would go on to win."Robins boss Keith Millen remains hopeful his season will improve."I couldn't have asked for a better start. We wanted commitment from the players to turn around our season and to go two up so early on was a dream start," he said."We needed to keep that two goal advantage for as long as possible but when they pulled one back so quickly it got the crowd back on their side."I was happy going in at half-time but within 50 seconds of the restart we gave away a very soft free-kick."Their winner was a superb strike from Whittingham but I cannot understand why Bothroyd was allowed to stand five yards offside in front David James yet not be pulled up for it."David is very disappointed with the way the goals were scored and generally we didn't get any luck at all from the officials."We have quality in the squad and I firmly believe we will turn our season around."
