BEES boss Chris Herbst admitted it was just a “bad day at the office” as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat to Honiton on Saturday.
The Hippos opened the scoring within the first minute and, from there, Bridport struggled to get a grip on the game, producing a performance Herbst labelled “pathetic”.
It followed a midweek defeat to Middlezoy Rovers, meaning the club had suffered back-to-back losses.
Speaking to The News after the game, Herbst said: “It was just pathetic. At least against Middlezoy we created chances and dominated the game.
“Honiton scored after 44 seconds and we just didn’t create. Everyone was trying, but they just did not implement what we had asked of them.
“It was a bad day at the office to round off a bad week.”
Herbst said the team discussed the defeat at Tuesday’s training session, with the whole squad admitting they had been “really poor”.
He added: “The only positive is we can’t play as badly as that again. Everyone wants to put it right and we will put it right.”
Herbst and his players will have that opportunity when they travel to Crediton United on Saturday, having fallen six points behind early league leaders Elburton Villa.
He said: “We have got to sharpen up. The table is irrelevant at the moment. We have to focus on ourselves and, if the players do what we ask of them, we will win football matches. We have to rectify what we are doing.”
In terms of team news, both Ryan Gall and Tom Green return to an otherwise fully fit and available squad.
