Scunthorpe United boss Brian Laws felt that his side played well despite their 2-1 loss to Coventry City.
Speaking to the Press Association: "This was one of our best home performances of the season - and against a very good Coventry team," he insisted. "We passed them off the park for long spells and they had to change their format to cope.
"But if I have to be critical about us, then we should have finished them of when we were on top in the early stages. But Barcham has missed one great chance and Karl Hawley has missed another.
"Obviously it is disappointing to be beaten because we deserved better than that. But it has done nothing to dampen our spirit and if we continue to play like this, then I am sure we will win more games than we lose.
"This is just one that we have got to take on the chin."
