O'Connor demands results

Halesowen manager Martin O'Connor has demanded defensive improvements from his team when they entertain Cirencester at The Grove tomorrow.

The Yeltz are on home turf again looking to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat against Bedford in their opening home game of the season on Tuesday.

And O'Connor has admitted that massive improvements are needed at the back after his team conceded five goals in their opening two matches.

He said: "We have forgotten the art of defending over the summer.

"Last season we worked hard for clean sheets and because we worked hard we tended to get them.

"If you concede a lot of goals you lose games, it's simple, and our defending has been poor."

O'Connor will come face-to-face tomorrow with a Cirencester side managed by Adi Viveash.

The two are both former Walsall heroes. O'Connor's main concern, however, is his list of walking wounded.

He has injury doubts over Duane Darby and Junior Brown while Paul Devlin is definitely out for at least two weeks.
