Robins rues bad end to bad week
Doncaster's winner came from James Coppinger in the 35th minute.[LNB]On-loan Billy Sharp got behind the Barnsley defence and crossed on the turn for James Hayter but the ball was too high for him to get a touch and was headed behind for a corner. From the short corner, the ball fell to Coppinger and his shot from 20 yards flew into the net for his fourth goal of the season.[LNB]Robins said: "I was disappointed with the goal. They play short corners because they don't have much height and they sucked three players out of position and the ball fell to Coppinger.[LNB]"They play a good game of football and they pull you out of position. It was a really disappointing goal. It's been a disappointing week.[LNB]"They moved the ball around better than us in the first half and created a lot of chances.[LNB]In the second half we created one or two chances but I keep telling the players that we need to play until the final whistle of the season."[LNB]Rovers had two chances in the first five minutes after the restart to make the points safe and they both fell to Sharp, who fluffed them.[LNB]First, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas played the ball inside to Sharp but he curled his shot wide of the far post.[LNB]Two minutes later, Coppinger's cross from the right found Sharp but he put his header wide from a couple of yards.[LNB]Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll said: "He'll be frustrated about that miss. Since we've all been growing beards he hasn't scored a goal.[LNB]"We played brighter in the first half.[LNB]We've played well in the last two games (before today) and only came out with one point; the players didn't want to end the month with a poor performance.[LNB]"In this league you can throw caution to the wind but you can play without a lot of fear."[LNB]Eight minutes from the end Barnsley's best chance came when a Daniel Bogdanovic knock down was met by Hugo Colace but his shot from eight yards was blocked by Rovers goalkeeper Neil Sullivan.[LNB]Robins added: "We had a great chance and when the ball fell to him you expect him to score but the 'keeper made a great save."[LNB][LNB]
