Disappointed players in the dressing room

The mood in the RBK camp was dark after the game of lost chances against FFK.
Wether it was the disappointment of having lost a match one dominated fully, or the angry feeling towards one's own wasting of chances, that was the dominating feeling in the dressing room, one can not tell. But both were dominant factors in the players' analysis of the match.
Daniel Braaten was partially brilliant on his wing while he played. After the match he was very disappointed that yet another home match was at its end with no victory.
"Even if we play great, it doesn't help much when we lose. No, this was bitter," was Braaten's comment. His own effort he found ok, tough he suggests that he would have wanted to contribute even more.
Substitute Thorstein Helstad chose to view the positive aspects.
"We do after all create a multitude of chances. Pity tough, that they are not converted into goals. Nothing would go in. Sometimes it is like this. But we do play great, and if it continue this will even out throughout a long season. We'll just have to keep fighting," Helstad told rosenborg.info after the match.
The silence was notable in the dressing room after the match. The players were notably disappointed after not getting a single point in a game where one had created more than ten great chances.
Roar Strand summed it up:
"Out gameplay is great. But Steinar Sørlie played the match of a lifetime."
