New boss wants Canaries to stop being pushovers

Oct 13 2006

by Chris Beesley, Daily Post

 

CAERNARFON manager Steve O'Shaughnessy reckons that his new team might have to toughen up in order to climb the Welsh Premier table.

A 2-2 draw with Porthmadog at Y Traeth last Sunday was the Canaries’ first point under O’Shaughnessy’s stewardship, but they still remain next-to-bottom with just three points from their opening seven games.

With high-flying Llanelli arriving at The Oval tomorrow, the former Oswestry and Druids boss knows things are unlikely to get much easier.

He said: “We’ve got a good little football team here but sometimes they’ve been a bit too nice.

“This is a tough league but we’ve been naive and need to be a bit more focused.”

Previous manager Wayne Phillips resigned a couple of days after the 1-0 home reverse to Cwmbran Town on September 9, after a frustrating couple of years in charge with the club finishing 15th and 13th in his two full seasons.

O’ Shaughnessy said: “The team went through something of a bad time over the past couple of seasons but hopefully it was just a spell and we can now change things.
