We were on a run of three defeats prior to Saturday's game and we have been disappointed with ourselves after recent games. We've been in every game we have played this season, other than the one when we lost at Dagenham & Redbridge, but we can't hide from the fact we have conceded some very poor goals when you consider how strong we were in that area last season. I can only recall us conceding one or maybe two goals from set-piece situations last season, and that we have struggled at that recently is something that hurts me personally as a defender. It is still early in the season and I'd rather be going through a bad spell now than later on at a time when we may be doing well in the league â but we all know that we need to pick up our performances. We have a great manager and a great bunch of lads here and we're going to work hard on the training ground to make sure we give ourselves a good chance of getting something from the game at Southend. They have not be in a great run of form, much like ourselves, and we have to try to take advantage of that."
