Brown: Tigers made quality count
The Premier League side saw off their League One opponents with goals from Michael Turner and Ian Ashbee in a scrappy fourth-round tie at the KC Stadium.Turner headed home his fourth goal of the season from a free-kick in the 15th minute but the visitors remained in contention until Tigers captain Ashbee struck from distance with five minutes remaining.Brown said: "I was pleased with the performance and the way we applied ourselves."Kenny has come here with a game-plan and made it very difficult for us to get any fluency in our game."That is credit to them but the bottom line is that little bit of quality in front of goal has paid off for us."It was always going to be about a thorough, professional approach and I think that is what we have seen."Brown admitted his heart was in his mouth after a gaffe by goalkeeper Tony Warner, making his debut, almost gifted Millwall's on-loan striker Izale McLeod a first-half goal.Marc Laird also missed a glorious opportunity when he somehow failed to find the target in first-half injury time.Brown added: "The turning point was their miss just before half-time. If that goes in, at 1-1 it's a different game in the second half."Kenny Jackett felt the Lions had given a good account of themselves and were unfortunate to have been edged out.The former Wales international said: "I'm disappointed to lose the game. Up until their second goal we were in it, the second goal killed us off."We were disappointed with the first one, we had targeted Turner as a big player for them, very capable of scoring from set-pieces."We should have done better in that situation, it would have given us a better chance."It was quite a scrappy game, which maybe suited the away side and the side from the lower divisions."So from that point of view it was maybe an opportunity we didn't capitalise on."Jackett also commented on Warner's mistake, when the former Lions goalkeeper stumbled after failing to control a routine back-pass.McLeod looked set to take advantage but Warner dived on the ball at the expense of an indirect free-kick in the area.Jackett said: "I don't blame Tony Warner at all, he has made the mistake and then dived on the ball. I would have done the same in his position."But it seems a funny situation when there is not even a booking when the centre-forward is going to roll the ball into the net."
