Hollands & Blair’s new signing Charlie Sheringham missed Monday’s match against Lordswood – Luke Jessup’s men look to bounce back at home to Whitstable Town in SCEFL Premier Division

Hollands & Blair’s new signing Charlie Sheringham wasn’t available for their visit to Lordswood on Monday - and he could have made the difference.

Blair manager Luke Jessup feels his side are letting teams off the hook with their finishing.

A 3-0 win over AFC Varndenians on Saturday should have been more and a 2-1 Bank Holiday reverse at Lords further frustrated the boss.

Jessup said: “We didn’t take all of our chances against Varndenians and I think we let them off the hook a bit. It flattered them that it was only 3-0.”

Taylor Fisher and Dean Grant (2) got their goals and Sheringham was unlucky not to register but Jessup feels everyone has to step up.

He added: “The Lordswood game wasn’t really a game of football, neither team played any football, goals were scrappy, it was fairly route one and not a lot of quality.

“There were inconsistencies from the officials and the players and we (the management) even got it wrong with the formation.

“We had some information about how Lordswood might set up and we sent the lads out trying to counteract that. I apologised to the lads because we got it wrong.

“We went in at 1-1 and we changed it at half-time and then we were a lot more assured and the lads felt that.

“We frustrated Lordswood, visibly so, you could hear them moaning and groaning as we stopped their midfield from playing and had plenty of opportunities, but just couldn’t put the ball in the net again, which is a common occurrence.

“We didn’t have Charlie Sheringham available and I think he would have made a massive difference in that type of game and we have a few others we are trying to get in.

“Maybe it is time to give some others a chance.”

Rob Gilman cancelled out Lordswood’s opener but the home side won thanks to
