Rangers manager still upbeat

"I think we need a little bit of luck in front of goal," said Robinson after Saturday's 2-0 defeat away to the unbeaten league leaders, Torquay United.

"I thought at times we played particularly well in the first half and created good scoring opportunities, especially early in the game.

"It would have been nice to have had a goal to show for our efforts and attacking play in the first half.

"But just before half-time, we conceded a goal which undid all our hard work and made it difficult coming out for the second half being 1-0 down."

Torquay took the lead in the 44th minute with a headed goal direct from a deep corner and added a second goal in the closing stages.

Robinson, who gave goalkeeper Robert Duggan his first game this season and started with Steve Hopkinson in midfield, feels his players deserve more than the single point they have gained so far.

He added that his side will be working hard to try and solve the goalscoring problems with just one of the three goals scored so far being from open play.

"It would be nice to be scoring a few more goals so we will be working on that in training," added the manager.
