We're Hurting Over Bad Start - Kerr

7 August 2019

Fraser Kerr has admitted that Pools need to be more ruthless

during their good spells in games after they were undone at Halifax Town on

Tuesday despite seeing plenty of the ball.

Craig Hignett's men were arguably the better side in possession

during The Shay Stadium contest but the cutting edge belonged to the hosts who

continued their perfect start to the season to go top of the table.

Defender Kerr says that getting the first goal can obviously

make a massive difference in games and wants Pools to show a more ruthless

streak as they move forward.

“We're disappointed and frustrated,” Kerr told Pools TV.

“I think everybody is, including the fans – we could see how

much it meant to the fans at the end and everyone in the dressing room is

hurting so we want to get that first win under our belts.

“We controlled the first half but we went in at 0-0 and I

think we need to try and take advantage when we're on top in a game, make sure

we're clinical and get that goal.

“They ended up scoring on a breakaway and then it's a bit

more backs to the wall and we have to start chasing the game so it's

frustrating.”

The Scotsman conceded that defeat in the opening two games

of the campaign is even harder to take given the excitement and optimism that

surrounded the Club during the summer.

However, he has been in the game long enough to know not to

get too downhearted so early in the season and is confident that things will

come good for the Club this term.

“It's a long old season but the sooner you can start winninggames the better.

“We feel we have a talented squad that can really do

something this season so that makes it even more frustrating that we've got off

to this bad start.

“Only we can turn it around so we'll stick together, look to the game on Saturday and try to put in a performance that gets us the result as well.”
