Bristol Rovers lost 1-0 at home against Stevenage on Easter Monday,
00:06
with head coach Inigo Calderon showing his frustration at full-time
00:10
following a defeat that pushed his side closer to the drop from Ligue 1.
00:16
It was not the performance we needed for the day.
00:22
Simple as that, I don't think it was good enough, especially the first half.
00:26
It was not the level we have to be on the day like today.
00:34
I think it was not good enough.
00:36
The first half, especially after the second half, you had to chase the game,
00:40
and everything's a bit more chaotic, and then the nervous is more coming.
00:46
But it was similar to, you know, it's not the first game that happened.
00:51
They just scored the first one, too early in the game, and then we panicked because of the situation we are.
00:59
And the first half was, I don't know, it was, as I say, nervous, anxious because of the result,
01:07
because of the situation, because I don't think it was a lack of effort, you know.
01:12
And finally, Bristol City were beaten 3-1 away by struggling side Luton Town in the championship,
01:18
but the Robins remain in the play-off places.
01:20
A few bits, I thought, not a huge number of issues first half.
01:25
You know, it's one of those, you know, it's going to be a difficult game with their style,
01:28
how they play, you know, their antics, what they create atmosphere-wise.
01:32
It becomes one of those where you can't get drawn into having such a bitty game.
01:36
And normally, you know, we did a little bit at the time in the second half,
01:39
and that's what cost us.
01:40
I thought we made a few too many mistakes and kind of built momentum for them.
01:43
And normally, at the same time, when we were on top and created some fantastic chances,
01:48
didn't take them.
01:49
So, yeah, frustrating, disappointing.
01:52
But we have to make sure that, you know, we learn from today.
01:56
All the goals, for me, were really soft, really, in terms of mistakes and errors.
02:00
But the leather group showed what they were about, right, in terms of how we responded.
02:04
I thought to get back to 1-1, obviously, we, you know, started to get a foothold in the game.
02:08
And then, like I said, we turned the ball over too cheaply, gave it away too easily,
02:12
and then, all of a sudden, we're defending our box.
