"The goals we conceded were very soft and despite scoring a very good one ourselves we just gave ourselves too much to do due to our own mistakes.
"We lost goals again due to poor concentration and a lack of guile. Teams aren’t scoring great goals against us, playing passes around us, they are just waiting on us to make errors.
"There was a bit of luck to their goals too and at the moment we don't have any. But you can’t feel sorry for yourselves. You have to get back out there and change the momentum.

Hide AdDespite the season so far going so badly, Stenny are still on three points off the promotion play-off spots, and have a manager now in place with Gary Naysmith taking charge of the team against Stranraer this weekend.
Crighton however was quick to quash any promotion push: “The truth is we can’t foucs on that now, we need to focus on survival. We need to stop looking far ahead.
"At the end of the day we are in this situation so we can’t think about the top-end of the league, it would be wrong to do so.”
