But the boss was pleased with the Blues' response in the second period and felt they deserved all three points.
He said: ‘I thought we were nervous in the first half after what was a 4-0 defeat at home on Tuesday night.
‘We started slightly nervous but I’m pleased to say we came through that and put on a good performance in the second half.
‘We deserved to win, it was a good clean sheet, created other chances and could have scored more than one.’
