PMM: Bristol 2-0 Town

Town manager Jim Magilton says Town have got to perform for the full 90 minutes not just 45 like they did against Bristol City earlier tonight.

Jim: "I was pleased with our attitude in the second-half, we passed the ball well and controlled possession.

"We had some great chances to get back in the game and their 'keeper did well. The players put some pride into the performance but we can't afford to give teams a two goal start.

"We knew they would come out fast after what's been said this week about the game between us at our place yet we gave the lad (Elliott) time and space in the first five minutes to have a crack at goal.

"I have not seen the penalty incident yet. The referee was in a better position than me and gave handball against Alex Bruce. Whether it was a penalty or not, I don't know but it was a bad goal to give away and then they have got a real foothold in the game.

"We had to get at them in the second-half and with Pablo coming on, we changed things around and did that. We had the chances to get back in the game but didn't take them and if you don't take your chances and give teams a two goal start, there is only going to be one result.

"We have to find a 90 minute performance that matches the second-half we showed tonight."
