Loxwood boss Walsh: 'There's no panic at the moment but we have had a few honest chats'

A 2-1 home win for the second-from-bottom Whites cut the gap between the bottom-three and the 16th-placed Magpies to just six points with six matches to go.

The loss to relegation rivals United also consigned the Plaistow Road-outfit to their third consecutive league defeat, after putting on a four-game unbeaten run.

Walsh revealed: "There's no panic at the moment with us but we did have a few honest chats after the game.

"We kept everyone in for an amount of time and everyone was pretty honest and spoke about a few things.

"Maybe that was the little wake-up call we needed going into Saturday but we've got a target in mind.

"We want to try and win every game. We feel like we know what we need."

Loxwood will be hoping to stop the rot when Peacehaven & Telscombe visit Plaistow Road this weekend.

The Tye sit comfortably in mid-table, in tenth-place, with 47 points from 31 games.

Peacehaven recorded a 2-1 home win over basement-side Arundel last Saturday to increase their winning streak to four matches.

Walsh is looking forward to taking on a team that 'try and play football' but is adamant that they must halt their losing run.

He added: "They're in a good position and they've got a good side and from what I've heard they look to try and play football which is encouraging.

"We're looking forward to a good test. I know a couple of players there and it's a big, big game for us.

"We've lost three on the bounce now so we've got to try and stop that straight away."
