BRIDPORT manager Chris Herbst dismissed the difficulty of visiting high-flying Crediton United on Saturday (2.15pm), adding: “I want to get something out of every game”.

Bridport last time out recorded a 2-0 win over Torrington, lifting them into 18th place and off the foot of the South West Peninsula League Premier East table.

It means the Bees have now picked up nine points in as many games with Herbst at the helm as both interim and permanent boss.

However, in Crediton, Bridport face a much tougher proposition against a side challenging for the title and perched just four points off leaders Okehampton with a game in hand.

Crediton collected a 3-2 win at St Mary’s Field in the reverse fixture but Herbst revealed he is working to install a winning mentality amongst his squad.

He told the Bridport News: “It’s going to be a tough one, like I’ve said before the next three are very tough.

“We’ve got to believe we can go there and get something, be hard to break down and try and frustrate them as much as possible.

“The squad’s looking strong as well, so I’m happy.”

Asked if he felt less pressure this weekend given the 16 league places between the sides, Herbst replied: “To a point, but I’ve been hard on the players.

“I want to get something out of every game. If we lose, I’ll be fuming because I want to win every game – obviously, that’s not realistic but that’s how I am.

“I think we can get something out of the game and confidence is growing.”

Herbst is boosted by a selection headache, with 19 players available for the contest.

He said: “The players we’ve brought in have helped massively and I’ve got 19 to pick from this weekend.

“That just shows everyone’s on the same page, wants to play and be involved.”

Herbst also revealed the re-signing of Malachi Thomas, strengthening his options at right-back.

“We’ve signed Malachi, he was at Bridport last year,” Herbst confirmed. “He’s had an injury, he’s coming back.

“When I watched him last year I thought he was absolutely quality, he’ll be in the matchday squad on Saturday which is a big, big plus.

“We’ve been filling in at right-back. I keep an eye on things and keep an eye on it but it’s just about keeping this group of players together.”

Owen Peart returns from suspension but Dan Peart (calf) remains out.
