Fine Margins Between Winning And Losing - Rofe

Last updated : 06 October 2012 By Covsupport News Service

AFC Bournemouth caretaker manager Dennis Rofe said that there is a fine margin between winning and losing.

Speaking to the Bournemouth Echo, Rofe said after the 1-0 defeat to Coventry City: “I changed the formation and wanted to freshen up the boys. We had a game plan which, until half-time, had been working quite well.

“But there are fine margins between winning and losing. We had a few chances, which we didn’t take, and so did they. The game was evenly balanced at half-time but, unfortunately, we conceded a goal and it was possibly poor defending.

“I always thought this would be a tight game between two teams that, for various reasons, are probably at the wrong end of the league. The first goal was always going to be crucial and even more so today.

“If we had got it, it would have given our boys a bit of impetus and would certainly have knocked them. The nerves would have transferred to them and we might have grown in confidence. Unfortunately, they got it and we lost a bit of confidence.

“I am sorry for the supporters that they have to again go home without a point to carry and I am sorry for the team because I thought the players put in real shift for me.”
