Robson however, also admits that his sides late defending left something to be desired.
He said: "Savage finally got a yellow card for persistent fouls.
"I thought he was lucky in the first half for his foul on Olivier Barnard.
"If the referee had done his job he wouldn't have been on the pitch in the first place.
"I am angry because we have lost two valuable points at a crucial stage of the season against a team like ourselves fighting for fourth place.
"We had three massive points in the bag thanks to a picture goal from Gary Speed but we couldn't see the game through."
