“It was just a lack of communication,” Bruce said. “It was quickly sorted out, not a problem. We made a genuine mistake for the goal. I understand there’s always going to be criticism here, that’s part and parcel of it but I think it would be wrong to criticise us for having a go in the last 15 minutes when we chased the game and left ourselves a little bit stretched. But we’ve only all been working together for four or five days.”
