Witham Town manager Garry Kimble feels the biggest fight for his players in their ongoing relegation battle will be in their own minds.

Defeats by Kingstonian and Enfield Town in the last week have left Witham in the Ryman League premier division’s bottom four ahead of their home game against Bognor Regis Town tomorrow.

Kimble feels they now need four wins from their remaining eight games to survive a drop back into division one north, but knows it will take mental strength to achieve that.

Goals coming late in games have been the bane of Witham’s season and that proved to be the case again in both of the 2-1 defeats by Kingstonian and Enfield and their manager wants his players to show greater fortitude.

He said: “It seems to have been the same every week.

“It was 83rd minute on Saturday and then even later against Enfield (that we conceded to lose the games).

“I’m just struggling for words at the moment because we are getting punished for naivety.

“We have eight games left now and they are eight cup finals.

“I think we have to win four now (to stay up).

“I know teams around us are losing and it’s not out of our hands but I think we need four wins.

“It’s going to take hard work to get us out of this.

“I can’t fault their effort but we just have to be cuter across the pitch and throughout the whole 90 minutes.

“We just have to keep believing that we’ll get out of it but we’ve thrown away so many opportunities to get out of it already.

“I think it’s going to be a mental battle now.”
