Dejected Walsall striker Jabo Ibehre has vowed to improve after admitting his missed chance cost the Saddlers all three points at Huddersfield on Saturday.
The Saddlers hitman fired wide when clean through late in the second half with the score at the Galpharm Stadium locked at 1-1. Michael Collins then won the game with a 90th-minute heart-breaker.
He also had a header cleared off the line by Collins and says he will do his utmost to return to form as he has not scored since the middle of October.
"I hold my hands up – I missed a glorious chance and I am more gutted than anyone," said Ibehre, who has netted five times this season.
"I did what I did and it didn't happen and next time I will make sure I do it right. I will watch the video and see what I could have done better and I will be back to the drawing board.
"Being a forward is about taking responsibility and goals change games. I will take it on board and get back on to the training ground and work on it."
Ibehre returned after a three week lay-off through suspension and a knee injury and admitted to feeling a little rusty in his first game since the FA Cup first round defeat to Scunthorpe in November.
He said: "I felt slightly off the pace, if I am honest. I will only get better from this display and hopefully get a bit luckier next time."
