Molyneaux aiming for homecoming triumph
Borough boss calls for repeat of tempo of opening Privett Park clash
LEE MOLYNEAUX wants nothing less than a win from Gosport Borough against Hendon at Privett Park tomorrow (3pm).
Borough began their Southern League premier division south campaign with an impressive 3-0 success against Taunton Town.
Since then, however, they have lost away games at Salisbury and Merthyr Town.
Molyneaux said: ‘It is important we win our home games. In our first game at home we played with a good tempo, expressing ourselves going forward.
‘Our wide players gave the opposition plenty of problems and we committed a lot of players forward.
'I am looking for us to do that again.
‘In the past couple of games, we didn't create a lot of chances We only had the odd chance here and there.
‘At the same time, our opponents didn't create a lot either.’
The two away defeats were frustrating — with Borough only losing by a single goal in both.
Even more galling was the fact the decisive strikes in each came from the penalty spot. Molyneaux added: ‘We are still to concede a goal from open play. ‘I have been impressed with the way we have defended. ‘The players have shown good discipline and have done the basics well. ‘We defend as team, working hard to Borough are aiming to get back on track after two away defeats get back behind the ball when we don't have possession. Our defensive units have been solid.
‘It is all about keeping our shape and not allowing ourselves to be dragged out of position.’
