Herne Bay manager Simon Halsey taking nothing for granted against Walton Casuals
By Alex Hoad
Simon Halsey says Herne Bay
facing rock-bottom Walton Casuals on Saturday could be a ‘recipe
for disaster’ as his most difficult period in management
continues.
Bay have lost four straight games
in Ryman League, Division 1 South, scoring just once –
unprecedented in Halsey’s three years at the club – and lie 15th
ahead of the visit to a Walton side who lost 7-0 at Faversham on
Saturday.
Manager Halsey (pictured) admitted:
"It’s not a good time – it’s just not happening for us at the
moment."
"It’s definitely the most
difficult time since I have been here but hopefully the experience
will make me a stronger manager.
"This is new territory for me and
for the club. The last three years we have had pretty much
everything going our way.
"It’s a sticky patch but we have to
roll our sleeves up and get through it."
The prospect of facing a Walton
side who conceded three penalties and saw two goalkeepers sent-off
at Faversham could be considered a good opportunity for Bay to end
their dismal run but Halsey warned: "It could have the opposite
effect.
"We are struggling at the moment.
You could look at it as a bit of a recipe for disaster because
that’s the way things are going for us right now.
"A run like our one makes a massive
difference to the table. We need to win."
"Halsey revealed he was looking to
bring in an attacking midfielder or forward to ‘inject a bit of
life’ up front before the weekend.
