“Especially when you’ve lost your previous game, you don’t want to get into that rut where you make things difficult for yourself, so it was important to win.
“We certainly created enough chances to win the game more comfortably than we did.
“We had a couple of self-inflicted wounds, so probably made it closer than it should’ve been.”
He added: “We hit the post twice so we were unlucky.
“But we could’ve been more ruthless and efficient in the final third – we had some chances we usually take which we didn’t today.
“So, along with giving them a goal it kept them in the game and made it more difficult than it should’ve been.”
