Hares boss Whaley urges March Town United to develop killer instinct
HARES boss Brett Whaley has urged his March Town United side to develop a killer instinct even though they thumped Cornard United 4-0 on Saturday.
March should have had the three points sewn up long before Ash Brand’s brace and a goal from Alex Burton in the final 15 minutes secured their side’s victory.
Even though the win moved the Hares up to fourth in the Ridgeons First Division, Whaley admitted his side should have ran up a cricket score.
He said: “You could see every time we missed a chance they thought they were still in the game.
“It was our best performance, up until the finishing, and we made the game more competitive than it needed to be in the second half.

“Defensively every week we play for 90 minutes but our attacking play is in fits and starts. If we’d have played like we did in patches for the whole game I don’t know what the scoreline would have been.
“We’ll take the win but there’s one thing we’ve got to learn - when we’re on top we’ve got to start killing games off.”

Whaley said: “Ondre’s very powerful and strong and gives us a different option and we’re delighted to have Lewis for longer.
“He’s been excellent and I’ve been hugely impressed with his temperament and handling.”
