Stoke City manager Mark Robins, speaking to BBC Radio Stoke after Tuesday's 2-0 loss at Millwall:

"We were poor. This was our first big, big test I felt and we failed it. I'm disappointed but we have to lick our wounds and get on with it.

"We conceded two really poor goals. We kept chasing our game; we couldn't find it. People would start to do things that were a bit alien to them.

"We just didn't give ourselves a chance in the game after the first 10 minutes.

"We've lost a high percentage of the duels today and they've come out on top which isn't a surprise. If they'd been better in front of goal we'd have lost by a bigger margin. It was a really, really disappointing evening.

"If we think we're a top two team, we are miles away from that and that's evidenced tonight."
