Town boss Kieran McKenna says keeper Aro Muric knows he could have dealt with Brentford’s 96th-minute fourth goal better, but that it shouldn’t be forgotten that the Kosovan international made important saves earlier on in the game and that he has his support.
Muric has come in for criticism regarding the goal, Bryan Mbeumo’s cross finding its way into the corner of the net to claim all three points for the Bees deep into injury time with the Blues looking like they’d grabbed a point via Liam Delap’s 86th-minute strike.
"In any goal it's easy to pick the last bit of it. We'll always look at the build-up to it as well,” McKenna said.
"We could have managed the clock a little bit better at that stage at 3-3 with time on the clock, so we could have managed the situation better as a team to avoid the situation.
"But on the other hand, with 10 men away from home, there's always a chance that the ball can come in a box and, of course, Aro knows that he could have dealt with it a little bit better.
"He's a really proud professional and holds himself to really high standards, so he would have liked to have done better on the goal.
"But we're not quick to forget that they had a couple of other chances, both at 11–v-11 and with 10 men, that he made good saves.
"And I think he's another player who's settling into the team. He’s had some really good moments, made some big saves and he's still settling into a new group, a new style of play and new teammates.
"We think he's a really good character and he cares deeply about doing well for the team, and cares deeply about doing well for the club.
"So he's got our support, of course, and like all the other players, he's tried to train well this week, pick himself up and be ready to help the team as much as possible.”
