Ward: We are not a top side

27 January 2011 10:30
Colchester manager John Ward admits his side have some way to go to match the likes of leaders Brighton. The Us picked up a battling goalless draw against promotion-chasing Huddersfield at the weekend but were then beaten 2-0 by the table-topping Seagulls on Tuesday night. They have now slipped to 11th in the table after just one win from their last seven games and Ward knows his side need to improve if they are to get back into the promotion shake-up. "At the moment we are a decent mid-table side rather than challenging at the top end of the table," he said. "At Huddersfield last Saturday we were tougher mentally and physically. But I was still confident at half-time that we would get something from the Brighton match."
