KARL Robinson was delighted to see Salford City come back from behind to beat Cheltenham Town thanks to Hakeeb Adelakun’s second-half brace.

But the boss admitted his team will need to show a signficant improvement if they are to continue their improving results in League Two.

The Robins had taken the lead through Ethon Archer three minutes after half-time, but recent signing Adelakun – who was discarded by Lincoln City in the summer – played a starring role for the Ammies to seal their second win of the campaign.

“It’s pleasing that we’ve won, but if we’d come in 2-0 down at halftime I don’t think we could have had many grievances, the first half was rubbish,” Robinson admitted.

“We rode our luck in the first half with the most unfamiliar performance I’ve seen from this team. Our distances and lack of connection.

“I want to enjoy this win, but we have to be better with the quality of player we have and the squad we have.
