Chichester City’s players have been told to forget they’re in mid-table in the Isthmian south east division – and fight for every point between now and the end of the season.

Tenth-placed City’s 4-2 home defeat to Chatham last Saturday was their fourth loss on the trot and they’re now only six points clear of the pack of clubs in the bottom half.

Coach Darin Killpartrick said ‘silly moments’ and a lack of discipline – which had cost them early in the season – had crept back into their play and they must eradicate both in order to start picking up wins again.

Their recent run of losses, which began with three games in Kent in a gruelling eight-day period, is in stark contrast to a sequence of seven wins in nine that preceded it.

City go to bottom side Corinthian on Saturday keen to get their points tally moving again.

Killpartrick said: “When we were given a reaaranged midweek game in Kent in the middle of two Saturday trips there, we knew it would be hard.

"The majority of our players have to travel from over Hampshire and it’s a seven-hour round trip for them on top of their day jobs.
