John was again left rueing defensive failings following another away League defeat against Bradford City John told Player

"We are Jekyll and Hyde at the moment and you have to stand up and be counted away from home. I thought for about an hour we were the better side and on top of the game. The referee made a disgraceful decision when Smally was clean through their lad clearly slipped  which could possibly have got us back into the game. The second goal killed us we were on top and we shouldn't be conceding goals the way we are at the moment and we are being sloppy especially away from home.

The players have to stand up and be counted and you need winners we do it home and play at the right tempo but away from home a few players have been found wanting when we go under pressure.I am still trying to bring in more players to make us stronger. I can see what we are missing out on the pitch especially away from home where we seem to lack some mental strength."

John then started to look ahead to two home games against Grimsby Town on Wednesday and the Accrington Stanley next weekend. John continued ."Jack been off all week with Breckin and Talbot and a few of the younger lads. Derek Niven got a deadleg and hopefully it's not to serious. But we now to have  keep positive and we have two massive home games now and we have to pick up maximum points to get us back up the table."
