Wormull said: "I thought we started the game really well, we had the chances, we hit the crossbar and their midfielder made a great save on the line.
"The video has shown that was true. I think the only person in the ground not to see it was the referee. Those decisions are game-changing and when you are at the bottom you don’t get that sort of luck.
"Somebody gave me the stat that it’s been 65 games since we have had a penalty. You just think wow, that’s unreal.

"When you don’t take that chance you always give the opposition to put a bit of pressure on you which they did really well.
"They only needed one chance."
