Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince has defended goalkeeper Paul Robinson after their 4-0 trouncing by Arsenal.

"We know we have to got to defend better as a unit not just the back five," said Ince.

"I feel sorry for (goalkeeper) Paul Robinson as he has not done anything wrong but conceded eight goals in two games.

"The goal just before half-time killed us. We lost concentration, it was suicidal defending.

"Even though we are playing well and creating chances, we have got to look at our defensive work."
