It's important to win today

David Brown says it's important to win todays game against Scarborough. Opposing teams at Edgar Street are using stifling tactics and the Seadogs are likely to follow that approach.

Brown, who has scored three Conference goals away so far this season but none at home, feels goals will be harded to score as other teams will have tightened their defences.

"I think it's inevitable this season that myself and the rest of the team will find it more difficult to score goals," Brown told the Evening News.

"Last season we were sometimes beating teams easily, scoring four, five, six, seven goals in games. We knew it would be harder to create chances because teams will start putting everybody behind the ball.

"It's more difficult for teams when they are at home because the onus is on them to come out. But at our place, teams are coming at us, frustrating us and wanting to spoil the game.

"We will just have to adapt to the way visiting teams play. I'm sure our home form will come good and I'll get among the goals. We have lost our last two games and the crowd have become a little bit anxious.

"It's important we get a good result against Scarborough. We have been working in training to combat what they are going to do. We've just got to go out there and put pressure on them.

"Confidence is really high after the win at Gravesend. It was a massive win for us and so important after the defeat to Halifax."
