Hughes has regretted a late lapse in concentration that resulted in
City slipping to defeat at the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.
Roman
Bednar’s injury time headed goal saw West Brom take a vital win, but
City had been close to taking a point that would have seen them move
out of the bottom three in the table after Felipe Caicedo’s 86th minute
equaliser. Luke Moore’s goal earlier in the second half saw the Baggies
go ahead, and speaking after the game Mark Hughes said:
“We are
desperately disappointed because that is two Premier League games
running where we have thrown results away. We were in a situation again
where we did not recognise the danger as it was occurring, and the
opponents have been able to win the game.
“We did well and showed
a lot of character to come back after being caught on the break for
their opening goal, so I was pleased with the response. At 1-1 I felt
if any team was going to in it, it would have been us, we just needed
something to drop for us or for us to see the game out.
“We
switched off at a crucial time and paid the penalty for it. It’s hard
to take for the guys, they are working extremely hard but at the moment
things seem to be going against us.”
“There is a frustration
because of where we are and how it is going for us. I thought the
players gave everything today, and I think that towards the end the
efforts of a few of the lads who played on Thursday as well as today
had an impact.
“We just have to be strong and make sure that
the situation we are in at the moment does not go on for any length of
time. We’ll be working hard to make sure we are ready for Boxing Day
and the weekend.”
Benjani had hobbled off in the second half, but
as yet there is no news on how serious an injury the Zimbabwean striker
has sustained.
