Robins disappointed by Shotton red
Shotton was sent off 14 minutes from time for a late challenge which caught Lloyd Doyley and Robins could not hide his disappointment.[LNB]He said: "He did well to get the ball and he has got to learn to pass the ball and to concentrate more.[LNB]"I'm disappointed that we have lost his services for the next match."[LNB]The winner came nine minutes into the second half when unmarked Emil Hallfredsson raced into the penalty area and fired home from 12 yards.[LNB]Watford could have levelled in the fifth minute of stoppage-time as Henri Lansbury's free-kick from 28 yards was heading towards the back of the net before goalkeeper Luke Steele turned the ball round the post.[LNB]Robins reserved special praise for the former Manchester United reserve.[LNB]He added: "He hasn't had a lot to do but he has made a world-class save and earned us the three points today."[LNB]Assessing the goal, Robins said: "He (Hallfredsson) got behind the full-back and got in a great position and stuck it in the net."[LNB]Watford had reason to feel aggrieved after seeing a goal disallowed for pushing in the Barnsley box.[LNB]Robins admitted the decision was somewhat harsh, saying: "I thought we were fortunate that the ref disallowed it."[LNB]Watford boss Malky Mackay felt his team were more than worthy of a point and slammed the referee's verdict on the goal which was scratched off.[LNB]He said: "I've looked at it on video five or six times and there was no push by Danny Graham. It was clear that he headed the ball and there was no pushing.[LNB]"I thought we deserved more than we got out of the game. We picked up from where we left off against Sheffield United.[LNB]"I was pleased with the side's performance. I thought we gave a good account of ourselves. We knew it was going to be a tough game."[LNB][LNB]
