Stephen Robinson in 'no excuses' vow after St Mirren's flat Premier Sports Cup exit
dailyrecord.co.ukStephen Robinson yesterday insisted that there were no excuses after St Mirren were dumped out of the Premier Sports Cup.The Buddies exited the competition after Ross Graham headed home from a Will Ferry corner in the first half at Tannadice to secure a 1-0 win for Dundee United.It was always going to be a tough test for Saints after their heartbreaking defeat to SK Brann in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night.But Robbo believes his side’s flat display, which lacked both creativity and a cutting edge, was not good enough to progress with some stars posted missing.The manager said: “I don’t deal in excuses.
We played the game with six players and, if five players don’t turn up, you’re going to lose the football match. I don’t think I got the impact at all from the subs.
A couple, yes, the rest of them, no.“We lost the game on a set-play and that was ultimately the difference. We didn’t create but I don’t think United created much either.
We liked the feeling of Europe and liked what we saw. But we won’t get that feeling again unless we improve performances.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
