Teams who have just sacked their manager often win the next game on the basis of "we'll show 'em what we can really do" and in a bid to impress the new manager.

If we can create half the chances we did against Gloucester, and put a quarter of them away, we will win comfortably.

A morale boosting win - much needed! Would be nice if Symmo could get on the scoresheet again.

Report from 'Seagulls online'. For a change city were the ones who took all their chances!
TWO goals in the last eight minutes gave a harsh look to the scoreline as Colwyn Bay lost 3-0 at home to Worcester City today. It was a tough baptism for new boss Lee Williams against a side who have moved back into the top six of the Conference North table with this result, but he remained upbeat after his first game in charge. It was generally an encouraging performance by the Seagulls, who played some nice football from the back for much of the game, but just lacked that cutting edge in the final third. The new boss agreed, but added: "If we play like that every week then we will win more games than we lose; without a shadow of a doubt. "I thought 3-0 flattered them (Worcester) really. They've probably had three shots on target and scored three goals. "We have had good possession and dominated much of the play, but have not had the rub of the green over the 90 minutes. "Their first goal was a bit of a mishit for me and we should have had a free kick shortly before it anyway (Tom Roberts was clearly pulled back by his shirt to lose possession in his own half leading up to the goal) and we were harshly done by to go in at half-time 1-0 down. "We've again dominated much of the second half playing against the wind, but we've got undone at the far post from a set piece late on for the second goal and the third has come from a breakaway when we've thrown everybody forward." But Lee said he will take a lot of encouragement from the performance. "I thought Sean Williams was fantastic in midfield with John McKenna, and Rob Hopley has worked his socks off up front for little joy. But there was nobody in the side really you could say didn't perform. "Just the final ball into the box and the final pass here and there has let us down." Worcester's opening goal on 37 minutes, scored by Kyle Patterson, came from only their second shot on target as his 25 yard effort dipped over Chris Sanna into the far corner of the net. The Bay defended well in that first half, with new signing Robbie Williams taking the eye, and he helped them play the ball nicely out of defence and through midfield where Sean Williams must have covered every inch of grass. Danny Lloyd was lively on both flanks and had one fierce shot tipped over the bar by Worcester keeper Glyn Thompson, who later also made a flying one-handed save to tip another Lloyd effort round the post. The Seagulls certainly did not deserve to be behind at half-time, and in the second half Hopley had a shot deflected wide off a defender, while Sean Williams and substitute Luke Holden both disappointingly skied efforts over the bar from promising positions. As the game moved into the last 10 minutes the Bay were forced to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser and got caught out at the back. On 82 minutes they conceded a free kick from one Worcester break and the ball to the far post was headed back across goal by Mike Symons for Graham Hutchison to head in from close range for a killer second goal. Four minutes from time another quick break, when the Bay had pushed everyone forward, saw substitute Michael Taylor run through from half-way to fire a cruel third goal past Sanna. It was a harsh lesson at this level for the new management team of Williams and Dean Martin, now joined by another former Bay favourite in Steve Jones, but it is very early days and they have had no time yet to get to know or work with the players. A friendly on Tuesday, now against Llandudno (7.30pm), will help them have a look at everybody in the squad. That is followed by two tough away games (at Boston next Saturday and Harrogate the following Tuesday), but the next home game against struggling Droylsden (beaten 3-0 at home by Brackley today) is the game they will surely be targeting for three points and the chance to start to turn things around.

Good stuff.
Just a shame we have no consistency. Which is frustrating.
