Brindley: Be more ruthless Rangers

Stafford manager Chris Brindley has urged his side to be more ruthless if they want to be a real force in the Blue Square North this season.

Rangers conceded a late goal again on Saturday and were held to a 2-2 draw at 10-man Workington, in a match they really should have won, even after visiting midfielder Carl Palmer saw red to level the sides.

It was a similar story to the previous game at Vauxhall Motors, a goal in the last ten minutes leading to a 1-1 draw. Rangers are still unbeaten after three games, but an 100 per cent record should really be the fruits of their labour so far.

While nothing is drastically wrong, in fact Stafford look pretty good going forward, former Wolves defender Brindley knows silly errors will have to be cut out to challenge.

He said: "Nothing will drastically change ahead of the weekend but we will be urging the players to be more ruthless. If you are a striker one-on-one with the opposition you should score, if your a centre half you should be heading a stray ball away. It is simple as that."

"It was a good performance against Workington but it could have been miles better. To go all that way and come back with a point when we should have won is disappointing, but we will get over it.

"We could have had a perfect start to the season but it has not happened. Thats football. But maybe Farsley should have come away from Marston Road on the opening day with a point.

"I agree we should have won our last two games, thats for sure."
