Wishaw boss not panicking, but needs a win to 'stop the rot' after horror start

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Wishaw boss David Dunn insists it’s too early to hit the panic button, but they need a West of Scotland Second Division win to “stop the rot”.Three straight defeats have left the Beltane Park club bottom of the pile, having followed up their 4-3 midweek defeat at Forth Wanderers with a 5-2 hammering at home to Bonnyton Thistle on Saturday.With clashes looming at Caledonian Locomotives on Saturday and at home to Larkhall Thistle the following Wednesday, Dunn knows he needs to get points on the board.He said: “I’m not pressing the panic button right away, but the team will be totally different going forward.“It has been a poor start, but we had nine or 10 players unavailable on Saturday, and it has been like that since the start of the season.“With so many unavailable it’s difficult.“The boys will be hurting.

The positive is we’ve got boys coming back and we’ll need to take it from there.“We need to get something next week, that’s the bottom line, to stop the rot.“We need to look at taking points from the next couple of games and getting back in touch with the teams around about us and take it a game at a time.”Dunn added: “It was hard to put a team together, with only three recognised defenders, and we just had to get through Saturday.“We didn’t have a goalkeeper, I had to draft in Ben McDougall on the Friday.“We still should have done better.

We actually started quite well for about 25 of 30 minutes, but as soon as we lost one goal we looked like losing another.“There were a few home truths spoken to the boys at the end of the game, because it’s not good enough.“Boys had opportunities, with folk being away, and they didn’t take them.“I have at least five or six coming back next week, and nobody can complain, regardless
