Dean downbeat after defeat

Doncaster boss Dean Saunders did not feel his side deserved to lose to Crawley after the visitors bagged a 1-0 win at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Crawley brabbed a fortuitous winner three minutes from time when a shot from Josh Simpson deflected off the boot of Nicky Ajose on its way into the net. Saunders said: "I thought they looked happy with a point and we certainly didn't deserve to lose. They got a lucky break with the goal, but we have to roll our sleeves up and just get on with it. "It was a scrappy game and we will get a lot of matches like this in League One. We had chances in the first half, but they didn't go in and we struggled to string our passes together as well as we have been doing at times." Saunders, who has struggled to strengthen his squad because of budget restrictions, added: "I thought a few of our players looked a bit jaded. One or two were struggling with knocks before the start, but we had to put them in. "We've not been able to bring more players in and that will catch up with us eventually - maybe it did a bit - but hopefully things might happen before the deadline."
