Clarke Sorry For Cup Exit

Darrell Clarke has apologised for Rovers cup exit at the hands of Southern League minnows Chesham United at the Memorial Stadium.

Rovers lost the game 1-0 after dominating the game but again failing to take chances at home. Clarke said: ‘It’s going to be one hell of a pick me up job,’ said Clarke. ‘Where did we go wrong? We missed a lot of chances.’
He told BBC Radio Bristol: ‘I’m thoroughly disappointed as all my supporters and players are, we’ve got to pick ourselves up off the floor.
‘To miss the amount of chances, you don’t get your rewards if you don’t put the ball in the back of the net. That’s what cup football is all about – they go down, probably their only chance of the second half and score the goal, so we’re thoroughly disappointed.’

Chesham also had a penalty saved in the first half by Rovers keeper Lee Nicholls.
