Niamh McCall admits Strathclyde Sirens can ill-afford another defeat in the Netball Superleague if they are to keep their dream of a top-four finish alive.And the goal-attack hopes they can get back on the winning trail tomorrow at home to Surrey Storm to give the loyal Sirens tribe a win to savour.The Strathaven star couldn’t help her side avoid defeat to Loughborough Lightning last Friday night, as the visitors ran out 61-48 winners at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.Sixteen of Sirens’ points were netted by McCall, but she was far from happy with her own display after seven missed shots.The result leaves the side eighth in the standings with one win from the first five matches and McCall, who signed a new two-year deal with the team in August last year, knows that needs to change when Storm come calling.She said: “We definitely need to get those wins now.

It’s not really an option for us to lose now [if we want a top 4 spot].“When we play the likes of Manchester Thunder and Loughborough again we need to be coming into those games to close the gap by a lot or really push them for the win.“Surrey will be a tough game.

It will be tight. They’ve got a big dominant shooter and a solid defence so it’s about making sure we shut them down, break their defensive unit and punish them when we get the ball.“We’ve played the top four teams from last season now and we’ve pushed them all.

It’s not been a blow out in any game so now we go against teams that we should get the win against.“We want to go and put in the performances now to make sure we do get those wins.“Friday was disappointing.
