We are back at Palmerston tomorrow as we welcome, Kelty Hearts in league one.
In our earlier meeting in the season, the visitors ran out 3-1 winners despite Jake Hutchinson giving us the lead seven minutes before the interval. That was cancelled out by Lewis Moore from the penalty spot minutes later to make it all square at the break. Reece Lyon headed home a second minutes into the second half with Michael Tidser rounding off the scoring in added on time.
After the first 13 games of the campaign, Kelty sit fifth in the table on 18 points, three places and five points ahead of ourselves.
Ahead of the game tomorrow, Manager Mavin Bartley said “Last week was extremely frustrating. It was a game that we were well in but again an individual error cost us at least a point. It was disappointing because it was a basic thing that we didn’t do properly and exactly what we go over regularly.
It was our eighth defeat this season and that simply isn’t good enough. I know that my coaching staff know that, and the players know it too. We understand the fans hurt and anger because we feel the same.
This week we welcome Kelty Hearts a side that we have struggled against so far, so we need to stick to our task and do the basics correctly.
We know we can compete against teams higher up the table so it’s about getting the fundamentals right and remaining positive.
