Boss Paul Jewell admitted that his side still has “a soft underbelly” after Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Millwall. The Town manager said that although his team pass the ball around, they don’t do so in dangerous areas.
Jewell said: "I think we probably passed the ball more than them. But we don’t pass it in areas where we can hurt them.
"At the minute we want to play the game as if we’re 3-0 up. We’re not prepared to get in behind them, to turn them round. It was pretty, pretty football and they just sucked us into the counter-attack, and that’s what happens.
"In the first half there were two goals in five minutes and pretty much the same in the second. It’s a soft underbelly that the team’s got.”
In the wake of the heavy loss, Jewell wanted to pull out of a long-standing booking on Sky’s Goals on Sunday but his former Bradford colleague Chris Kamara told him it was too late to find a replacement.
The Liverpudlian admitted that he wasn’t in quite the right frame of mind: "It’s not easy sitting here on a Sunday morning after you’ve just been beaten 4-1, but life goes on.
"You’ve got to try and face the music. We start again [on Monday] to try and get a result against Doncaster. There’s not a lot I can do sitting in the house moping, I’m moping sitting on your sofa instead.”
Told he’d get the chance to watch Millwall’s goals, he added: "I’ve seen the goals, in my sleep, time and time again.”
