"I think if you look at the chances we've missed again we should win.
"We've given away two goals again at home, we've got three 19-year-old boys playing centre-back and they're going to make mistakes.
"We're 1-0 up at half-time and within a minute of the re-start it's 1-1. That shouldn't happen.
"We've got some work to do with the young boys."
