Manager Mick Purcell says his team just needs to push on for the rest of the league after just recording one victory so far this campaign.
“In this championship, you have to be trying to get up as far as you can in the table because history shows that the further up on the table there, you are more likely to stay longer in the championship.”
“We are where we are. What we can do now is go out and have a go at it in the next two games and hopefully, you get the wins there.”
