RESPONSE IS THE KEY FOR SHORT

They host Shoreham on Saturday, EP on Tuesday then travel to Wick the following Saturday. He said: "Every team has off days at this level. But we need to react in the right way.

"We have three big games now. Shoreham's like a local match as well now because they have Chris Hibberd, Miles Scerri and Dan McLaughlin.

"We have played Wick three times this season and are yet to beat them.

"Shoreham will be a tough game for us. They are a good side and once they have caught up on their games will be in the top six or seven."
