“We had a couple of chances and could have gone ahead but once we fell behind we started to chase the game and they got a couple of lucky deflected goals.”
The Lilies boss still has faith in his side to claw back the large deficit in their remaining league games, starting with tomorrow’s crucial home match with Over Sports.
He said: “I don’t think it’s too big a gap. We have got 10 games left so hopefully we can pick up three or four wins in that period.”
