Howe resists scapegoat option

Connell was brilliantly denied by Spireites goalkeeper Tommy Lee in the 72nd minute after Jamie Lowry handled inside the penalty area.Howe said: "There is no blame at all attached to Alan. He made a difference when he came on, we looked a different side and it was a good save."What a difference a week makes. Last week we were fortunate enough when the opposition missed a penalty and we went on to win the game but this time the roles were reversed."We threw everything at them and I thought we deserved at least a point but there's still 15 games to go and the important thing is that we don't let our heads drop after one defeat."
