The Potters pulled back a two-goal half-time deficit at the CBS Arena thanks to Sam Gallagher's double – only to concede in the 97th minute when Bobby Thomas fired in after they failed to fully clear a cross.
"The three goals were terrible and that's where we're lacking," Robins declared. "We make really naive choices, we win the ball, knock it down to them in midfield – those are the things that are costing us in games and they need to realise that.
