Trollope: "Lacking Quality"

Speaking in the Western Daily Press, Bristol Rovers head coach Paul Trollope was disappointed by Saturday's result and bemoaned his side's defence and forwards: "We'd identified it as a big game after a number of draws but didn't get anything from it after another couple of catastrophic defending errors. I'm fed up of saying it, but we had some decent play in between the penalty boxes but lacked hugely in their area. It's not acceptable and we've said it too many times.

"Now things have to change quickly - our personnel and our thinking. It can't happen again because the league position we are in doesn't lie. Is it bad luck or a lack of quality? I'm beginning to think we lack quality in vital areas of the pitch, which is our third and their third."
