Schofield: Robins are still learning

Cheltenham caretaker manager John Schofield was disappointed with the 1-0 defeat at Morecambe but is pleased with some signs of improvement.

The Robins were sunk by a Laurence Wilson strike to leave them just three points above the drop zone and without a win in 11 games.

Schofield said: "I can see that the lads are improving and the things we are telling them are getting through. We had set game plans and they worked well but we just need to pick up a win now.

"I think we lost that game because of a bit of inexperience at both ends. We gave the lad too much space to run into for his goal at one end and then didn't always do the basics right at the other when we got a chance.

"We do have a lot of young players, however, and although it can be hard to swallow it is part of their learning and they will benefit from it."

 Morecambe 1 - 0 Cheltenham
