OAP Pop punks great start to the season came crashing to a halt with two heavy defeats in a row. First came the 4-0 thrashing by Thundercats and then a 4-1 thrashing by Totaalvoetbal.
Despite the defeats Paddy was not too despondent:
"We're just not being clinical enough and I've made some poor tactical choices. Its been a hard week, first we had to sack Habib Bowser, there are only so many chances I can give a player and given the fact he hardly ever scored goals or provided assists and then he went and got himself sent off I thought I'd rather work with strikers with a better attitude."
"The game against Totaal was actually a lot closer than the scoreline suggests, our lack of a free kicker and the fact we can't seem to take our chances really cost us but there is no shame in losing to sides of the calibre of Thundercats and Totaal. Up next for us is reigning champions Santos so we know its not going to get any easier. We just need to stop being so gung ho, take our chances and play to our strengths which at the moment is clearly in more defensive play"
On his sides relegation prospects Paddy said:
"I think we are capable of staying up, we've got one of the stronger midfields in this division and barring injuries our defence is more than capable. This is definitely a season of transition for us though so if we do end up relegated it won't be the end of the world. We're just looking to get as many of the youngsters to improve as we possibly can. In the long term that should lead to us having a competitive side"
