Saturday was just not our day. After going 1-0 up and Drayton defending for their lives we just needed to get that second goal.

We made a defensive error which allowed them back into the game.

I take half the blame for that as I encourage centre halves to pass it and build from the back.

What you have to do is accept that you will make the odd mistake and sometimes you will get away with it but Saturday we didn't.

The second half started brightly and after missing an open goal and seeing their keeper pull off worldly save after wordly save, in the back of my mind I'm thinking 'this isn't going to be our day'.

That it proved as we got sucker-punched big time.

Fair play to Drayton. They are the best side defensively to come to Ashby Avenue this season and if they perform like that every week they will not be down at the bottom of the table too long.

They also changed formation which suited them defensively.

I can't ask any more of the players. They put in a right shift and on another day we would have won the game comfortably.

Back to back defeats hurt so this Saturday's game at Kidsgrove is massive.

I will be making changes to the squad. Some are still carrying knocks, which was evident on Saturday.

I need players to be bang on at it now on in. If we want to be still in the mix come the turn of the year we can't make losing a habit.

The kings Lynn performance last week shows we have a good squad to utilise and they will get another chance to prove their worth.

Roll on Saturday.
