Buckley - Display Not Good Enough

Doncaster Rovers Belles manager John Buckley was gracious in defeat but disappointed with his sides performance against Bristol at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday evening.

He said: “The best team won. The best team by a country mile. They were just better than us.

“I said to the girls at half time that at 1-1 we were fortunate to be in it. I can only point to two maybe three players that I think have done relatively well.

“I’m slightly bamboozled and I said to them after the game that if that’s the quality of how you’re going to play then you will struggle.

“Our first three games back [after the mid-season break] we have actually played quite well but today, and I would rarely say this, it was just not good enough.

“I’ve got a lot of time for the players because I think they’re good players but they’ve not displayed that today.

“If I’m being honest they [Bristol] should probably have scored another couple of goals against us.”
