PERSHORE Town boss Andy Robbins was fuming after his side gave away a last-gasp goal to lose 2-1 at home to Massey Ferguson.

In fact Robbins had already delivered a rocket to his players at half-time in their Midland Combination Premier Division match.

The visitors were a goal up at half-time but Dave Guscott pulled on back, only for a late slip to give away all three points.

"We just didn't get into gear," he said. "We battled away but didn't get the ball down and play the way we can."

Robbins' men have an immediate chance to redeem themselves when they meet the same opponents in the League Cup on Saturday.

"I'm expecting a tremendous improvement," said the boss.
