Dan Ballard has a very good chance early on in the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a couple of moments in front of goal. Obafemi got in behind and should\u2019ve done better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been much better in the second half at The Den on a lot of occasions this season. What you can\u2019t do, like at Luton on Saturday, is you can\u2019t concede poor goals at this stage of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe concede a very, very poor goal. Muzza goes to clear it and doesn\u2019t quite get enough on it, Piroe gets on it and it\u2019s a snapshot. He gets a little bit of fortune \u2013 it goes through Muzza\u2019s legs and unsights Bart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be 1-0 down so quickly after half-time was disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made changes and the last half an hour was all us trying to get the equaliser. We\u2019ve had some very good moments, enough in and around the box to create chances and certainly get a point at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSav has an excellent chance, Benik has a brilliant chance which comes quickly but he\u2019s about four yards out. Danny creates a save with the keeper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t get the press right you leave space around you. I said at half-time that they are the sort of team who almost want you to get a little bit disheartened and then the spaces open up. We navigated that quite well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s difficult for the crowd because they want you to go and press all the time and it\u2019s never quite that simple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last 30 minutes we did enough to get something out of the game. We had 10 corners, we have to make one of those set-pieces count.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoops might be going home with a couple of players wrapped around his neck. At one stage there are two players on him \u2013 one isn\u2019t even looking at the ball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time you don\u2019t take three points it feels more magnified because of the stage of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not a perfect team but we\u2019ve got plenty of desire, plenty of effort and plenty of energy. I don\u2019t think the players give up. It\u2019s been a tough season \u2013 we\u2019ve had to win five in a row to get ourselves back in the mix and at that point you\u2019ve got to keep doing it. It\u2019s not easy to do. We haven\u2019t lost for three months at The Den.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary Rowett was frustrated with his team&#8217;s 1-0 loss to Swansea City but felt they had enough opportunities to take a share of the spoils after a three month unbeaten record at home.
