Rodgers saw his side’s away day blues continue with a ninth successive league trip without a win but it was the nature of the performance rather than the result that was the focus of Rodger’s after match comments<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve taken a lot of positives from our away games, even if we haven\u2019t had the results. But this was disappointing.” he told the Western Mail<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve not looked like having penetration and I\u2019m disappointed with the goals we\u2019ve conceded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first was a long punt up the pitch and we\u2019ve given a referee a decision to make when we shouldn\u2019t have been in that position.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you get them, sometimes you don\u2019t, but we should have dealt with it before that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe third goal was just a punt up the pitch where we\u2019ve missed two headers and they\u2019ve scored.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure why there was a drop in performance levels but I felt from the off that we lacked that normal spark and the two late pull-outs \u2013 who have been influential \u2013 didn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I told the group before the game I still expect us to go away from home and have the possibility to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t arrive to play as we did and I hoped this was going to be a day when we took another step forward because we have been developing as a group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been fantastic at home and we have to match that away and be stronger.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the first game since I\u2019ve been in charge where we\u2019ve not hit the heights as I would like, so we need to regroup and put this right away from home on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if we keep working hard and digging deep it will come.\u201d<\/p>\n
