"It was massive disappointment today especially after the work the lads have put in pre-season.
I thought apart from the first 15 mins we were miles off what is needed, I think anyone who was there today saw the mistakes we made for the first 4 goals. It doesn’t matter who we are playing against we can’t allow sides the easy opportunities we gave away today.
Fair play to Whitby they punished us for every mistake we made.

I felt we lacked quality and composure when we did manage to get hold of the ball, but posed no real threat throughout the game.

All we can do it put it behind us, move on and look ahead to the remaining pre-season games starting with North Ormesby on Tuesday and Hucknall next Saturday.
Both games will be difficult and we will need to get back to being organised and difficult to break down whilst offering a threat going forward.

As I've said, we go again on Tuesday and hope that supporters will again come out in their numbers and get behind the team, we really appreciate it."
