Robins: We lacked belief
Barnsley manager Mark Robins felt his side showed Manchester United's second string too much respect in their 2-0 fourth-round Carling Cup defeat at Oakwell.[LNB]Danny Welbeck gave holders United a flying start when he headed home Anderson's fifth-minute corner unmarked from six yards and Michael Owen added a fine second just before the hour-mark to ensure Sir Alex Ferguson's second string a comfortable passage to the last eight.[LNB]But former United striker Robins, who saw his side miss a string of chances, feels his players have plenty more to offer in their bid to climb the Coca-Cola Championship table.[LNB]Robins said: "Mentally, when you come up against Manchester United you probably give them too much respect and we were on the back foot because we conceded an early goal from a set-piece.[LNB]"But they've got quality everywhere, whichever side they put out, but I just felt there was more in us. If you look at the stats we had 17 efforts on goal and you'd be hard pressed to find any side that creates that many chances against a Manchester United side."[LNB]Robins added: "United had four or five chances on the night and scored the two. They had plenty of possession but we defended well, I just felt we were lacking that bit of belief. There's more in there for us. There's more in the players, so there are positives."
