There has been a lot of positivity since the Manager Tris Whitman, his assistant Aaron Large and coaches Louis Minney and Darren Jubb took the reigns with a number of big wins and a steady climb up the table and out of the relegation area of the table and recently resulting in a prolonged period without loss, but last night that run came to an end.

But with a heavy month of league and cup fixtures in March, we have an opportunity to start a new run when we travel to Belper in 10 days time. Meanwhile Manager Tris Whitman gave his account of last night's performance.

"We looked flat in our approach and at times were sloppy in our play which allowed Heanor to gain territory. Although we looked threatening at times down the sides, our final action often let us down with poor decision making and execution in the final third.

"Heanor took the lead through our mistake and then capitalised quickly after to make it two nil. We again looked dangerous on set pieces but Heanor were a constant threat on counters.

"The second half was extremely flat and we looked out of ideas which resulted in us going away from our strength of trying to play. Heanor wrapped the game up with a long range strike of real quality, although we looked brighter after we introduced the subs, we were not able to sustain any kind of comeback, even after Ethan scored late on to make it 3-1.

"Next week we have an arranged a friendly against Stapleford which will give us the opportunity to work on some of the areas we fell short on last night. Overall a disappointing way to end our unbeaten streak but a good reminder there is still lots of work to do to see the season out strongly in preparation for next season"

We have no less than 5 league matches and a cup match in March, a key month for us as we head towards the end of the season. See you at Belper on March 1st.
