Wishaw have under-performed but can beat relegation, insists boss David Dunn

Wishaw boss David Dunn has labelled the first half of their West of Scotland League Second Division campaign as ‘disappointing’ – but has no doubt they’ll beat the drop.The Beltane Park club are currently 14th in the 16-team division, two points behind nearest challengers Ardeer Thistle and safety, but with three games in hand.Dunn feels that cutting out avoidable errors will give his side a better chance of survival.“If I’m being brutally honest, the first half of the season has been a bit disappointing,” he said.“We need to start picking up points at home.

We’ve taken a lot of points away from home, so that’s something we really need to address.“We’ve lost a lot of players, and big players, and up until the last few weeks we’ve probably only really had about half a striker, but now we’ve got a couple, and you can see that in results because we’re scoring goals again.“There has been a lot of stuff that has happened that has been outwith our hands, and I know teams are like that, but we’ve not got the size of squad and the budget to go and strengthen.“When you put all your eggs in a couple of baskets, when those boys are injured it’s hard.“I think we’ve under-performed, there have been a lot of silly mistakes and silly goals that have cost us.“Sometimes you don’t mind losing if you can see from the performance that there is light at the end of the tunnel.“We have done that in spells, but looking forward we need to cut out mistakes and give ourselves a chance.“If you look at us in the last couple of months, we’ve scored a lot of goals, but we’ve lost a lot of goals as well.”Dunn insists he’s looking up the way in the Second Division, and while he doesn’t currently feel they are in a false position, he says it’s their own
