Terras will learn

Slough Town defeat will be seen as a measuring stick for Weymouth manager Mark Molesley.

The Terras suffered a 3-0 defeat away to the in-form Rebels at Arbour Park, who have lost just two games all season.

Molesley said: “I think going forward in the season it is a great measuring stick to see where we are against probably the best side in the league so it gives us food for thought, something to aim for.”

The goals came in the 24th, 40th and 86th minute to condemn the Terras to their first defeat in three matches.

Molesley thinks the Terras will try to learn learn and move forward, saying: “We’ve got to try and bridge that gap between ourselves and them. It’s just a matter of refocusing and carrying on trying to improve and learn from the lessons of today.”

The Terras boss felt the team had started well in the match but rued a spell where his side lost their way.

He said: “I thought we started the game well, a couple of chances one cleared off the line started quite bright but then unfortunately we lost our way in the half. And we didn’t take responsibility out there for the second part of the first half.”

Molesley acknowledged the performance of the Rebels, saying: “Slough are a very good attacking side, we have to give them credit. We were up against a good side today.

“Slough are one of the best in the league if not the best and at times they showed why they are where they are.”
