Hinshelwood: We need to show desire and belief to get first win

Worthing fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday to remain bottom of the Bostik League Premier Division with just one point from 11 matches.

Ibrahim Kargbo got Dulwich's opener on 28 minutes, before Nyren Clunis added the second after 67 minutes. Worthing striker Ben Pope was shown a straight red card late on for a foul and will now miss three games.

Reflecting on the match, Hinshelwood - in his second game back in charge - was pleased with aspects of the performance and feels confidence will grow in the squad once they get their first win of the season.

He said: "It was a good footballing game up until they scored.

"We tried to implement the way I want the team to play a little bit more after having a training session with them. We played out from the back a bit more and got the ball down.

"All the time the game was 0-0, the spirit was high but the goal came just before half-time and it deflated us a bit. But credit to the lads, they kept going.

"The second goal came about when we tried to nick the ball off them instead of trying to hold them up. We were trying to get the ball back to get on the front foot and back in the game but they are a really good side, even though they were missing a few players themselves.
